Imagine that, a Defense secretary wanting to use the military for its purpose, killing people and breaking things, instead of babysitting people too stupid to come in out of the rain. And I'd like to know who thee anonymous "Bush Advisors" are. Probably the same ones spreading lies about VP Cheney.

Imagine that.

Rumsfeld was familiar with posse comitatus.

I imagine that the obamaemptysuit administration will never be blamed for anything but being Hitler when it is too late.

I thought they couldn’t go in until invited anyway, and whats-her-name procrastinated.

If you get your news from GQ you get what you pay for.

What kept fed assistance from Louisiana
is something the Hussein worshipers always conveniently ignore, but hopefully will receive a buttload of lessons about soon:

Amendment 10.

The idiot governor of the state, whose party was subsequently CRUSHED in the next gubernatorial election, refused to allow/request federal assistance. Bush's administration, who would've been blamed for "overriding the governor's authority" if they had gone in otherwise, waited for the word.

Yes, because the Bush team abided by the Constitution they are being blamed for the problems exacerbated by the idiot Democrat local authorities.

Remember, in the world of Hussein: down is up and up is down.

How can two million blacks get into Washington D.C. in sub zero temps in one day when 200,000 couldn't get out of New Orleans at 85 degrees with four days notice.

A councilman in Jersey sent an e-mail with that joke after 0's inauguration. He got in trouble for it. I think it's funny...funny 'cause it's true.

Are these the same Bush administration officials who went on to work on John McCain’s campaign?

Don’t these people realize that the military isn’t supposed to be used inside the USA?

"There's no doubt in my mind," says one of Bush's close advisers today, "that Rumsfeld didn't like the concept."

Nor should he, that's what the national guard is for. The magnitude of the natural disaster wasn't clear to a lot of people in the administration, and a lot of people in the Louisiana government as well. I'd expect any defense secretary to be reluctant to commit active duty troops given the information he had.

Hopefully Rumsfeld will come out of retirement to join Dick Cheney.

In a related article..Rumsfield is also being blamed for The Great Chicago Fire, the Hindenburg explosion,the kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby and, of course, slavery.

Rumsfeld's aversion to using active-duty troops was evident: "There's no doubt in my mind," says one of Bush's close advisers today, "that Rumsfeld didn't like the concept."

No kidding. Thats why we have National Guard, commanded by the state governor. They are still trying to hide the fact that three states were hit, and two of three state governors had their guard mobilized ahead of the storm and on the ground before the wind stopped blowing. The governor of Louisiana wouldn't deploy her Guard because "it wasn't safe".

It was only after Bush federalized it that things got under control. There have been hurricanes before and hurricanes since. Only the one on Governor Blanco's watch turned into a horrorshow nightmare.

A failing magazine with declining readership. What, are they down to their last 75 readers and feel a need to be ‘controversial’ to sell a few extra issues?

Screw GQ!

You know good and darn well if the Military had been used in full force, leftists would be screaming their heads off about “attrocities” commited by Bushitler’s gestapo or something stupid like that. What is it about reality these people don’t understand?

I’m sorry, I missed this at first. This appeared in GQ? Isn’t that a magazine that caters to fags and metrosexuals, and dwells upon such significant issues as this season’s preferred trouser fabric? That GQ?

Why on earth would any of us give a rat’s patoot about what GQ’s editors believe is an appropriate political opinion?
