""Meanwhile Blanco had her own advisors insisting that the President was actually making a request for federal takeover of the Louisiana National Guard, and asking to put Louisiana State Police under federal control. They were concerned that this would be the same as martial law and lead to abuse of power by the federal government.""

What is REALLY important about the above is that one of Blanco's advisors is probably the Lt Governor --- LANDRIEU ... aka Mary Landrieu's brother. Miss Many-Thang has been SCREAMING with her hair on fire that it is President Bush's fault. The reason, she is covering for her baby brother. PERIOD! If the Commission that Miss Clinton desires to have is held, then there is no denying Blanco's role and no denying Brother Landrieu's role. This will be fun to see if Miss Clinton continues to push hard for a commission.

"Under the Emergency Management Assistance Compact, which was revised after 9/11, the Federal Government and FEMA are not allowed to interfere with local operations unless they are authorized by state and local leaders.

The TV News Stars will broadcast a small story about this in about 10 years.

Emergency Management Assistance Compact ( www.emacweb.org ) was set up by Congress. Katrina Blame-finding Bloggers ought to study this site. You'll probably be quite a few steps ahead of the MSM, which is still focused on sending emergency Kleenex to Governor Blank-Oh.

My co-workers at school are saying Bush didn't provide federal aid quickly enough. They point to this and I'm getting confused:

What is the Stafford Act? It sounds like she asked for federal aid and no mentioning of federal troops. Did Blanco mistakenly thought Federal Aid included the Federal Troops too?
