What, NOLA was to busy spending money on bike paths and the restoration of fountains that they could buy the things themselves?

I don`t watch ABC but if they are reporting this than they are dumber than CBS.
It is not FEMAs responsibility to have supplies stationed anywhere in the US to respond to any potential disaster.
Nothing about this makes any sense.

Were the plans written on an IBM Selectric?

I found some emergency plans when I cleaned out my garage. What they revealed was stuning.

FEMA was supposed to pick up the slack, and have supplies pre-positioned.

FEMA's partners, the Red Cross and Salvation Army were ready with the supplies, but the state wouldn't let them in.

Even if this is true, the fact that New Orleans "punted" and tried to pass the buck to the feds doesn't means the feds went along with it.

What plans? Who wrote them? What goverment agency approved them? Did the locals know of the plans? Did they follow previous emergency proceedures that all emergency crews practiced? What was the date they were sent out to all emergency workers? Huh? Huh?

OK, let me get this right; New Orleans came up with a disaster plan that says in essence, when the poop hits the fan, it is someone else's responsibility to bail us out. This seems right in line with the thinking of Mr. Nagin, but in no way obligates FEMA to play along.

Or maybe a Woodstock Typewriter?

'we found that it took four days for mr. bush to realize the full extent of the storm.'

'sharing a birthday cake with John McCain-
found time to strum a few chords on a guitar in California'

mary landrieu's comment- pres being on vacation-governor wasn't.

Narrator: 'people abandoned... tipping point for the president. massive communication failures."

don't know who this guy was....
'president appears to have made the mistake of treating
needed first responder response.'

This will continue all week.

Pardon me if I posted this in the wrong place.

Were they in the trunk of a car that was abandoned in the flood? Does Mary Mapes now work for ABC? Inquiring minds want to know.
