EXACTLY! Anyone who was reading/posting here at FR during the approach of Katrina KNEW that it was Dubya who forced this issue in NO. We had weather men going rabid, Barbor PLEADING with the poeple to leave, FReepers warning folks in the Gulf to get out, and all the while we were watching the Party atmosphere continue on in NO. After going through Betsy I couldn't BELIEVE what I was seeing before my eyes down there. The local/state government didn't even have a clue. How many MORE deaths would there be had Blank-0 not heard from President Bush?
I'd like to see a thread posted here (and if there is one please ping me) that is strictly a recap of the Failings of the local/state government from the beginning on. AND it would include the NO/State laws that show why Dubya was WAITING on the idiots in local/state government to do their thing correctly. Some folks act like the President shoud've just gone in there with guns blazing 5 minutes after Katrina passes, sheesh.
Those in the MSM need to be reminded of this AP article.
