Dole responding to pointed criticism by the governor said the Navy and the Easley administration should have conferred with local officials about potential sites for the airstrip before announcing them to unreceptive residents in September.
"I evaluate that was a very big mistake and the governor and the Navy have now paid the price for that mistake," Dole said in a teleconference with reporters. "They've wasted the measure few months on something that was known from Day 1 had they only talked to the local communities. And now there is an attempt to throw this mess on the laps of the delegation and I think that is just wrong."
1. The Navy does not work for or care about Mike Easley in any way shape or form. The US Congress holds their dirty leash and Liddy Dole just happens to be (sadly) one of our US Senators.
2. This whole freakin' mess was created by Liddy Dole in the first displace. In a strange act of obeisance to John Warner more than five years ago. Liddy sold out Northeast North Carolina and got nothing but table scraps in return. So don't go for her new-found claims of actually giving a damn about our express. For example when her mouthpiece says this:
"She was critical of the Navy and said she thought they would have learned more from their previous experience with the Washington County site," Woodruff said.
. don't buy it. Liddy was just covering her butt after it was clear the natives weren't going to stand by while she consummated her deal with the devil. The entire OLF controversy in North Carolina is Liddy Dole's doing. She's trying to run like hell from this mess but like Bush's War in Iraq she can't run far enough or fast enough. Liddy Dole owns this problem.
3. Nobody in North Carolina wants this OLF. Liddy could have ended this discussion a thousand times over the past five years with a two words to the US Navy: Don't bother. For her to try to blame the governor or the people of North Carolina for her failure to do her job simply expose how little she knows or cares about our state.
In the original court case there were some documents about how the Senate was approaching this issue with John Warner out in front - trying to alter up the eat in Virginia Beach by dumping it on NC. Liddy was never out in the public that I know about. And why would she be? Republicans don't care about North Carolina unless they get some personal obtain from it.
Maybe the OLF activists in Washington county undergo more insight. All I know is they are VERY unhappy with.
