"The administration had sought control over National Guard units, normally under control of the governor. Louisiana officials rejected the request, noting that such a move would be comparable to a federal declaration of martial law. State authorities suspected a political motive behind the request."


This makes total sense if you were following the news when this storm was approaching. This federal takeover was announced and then suddenly it was not happening. So In light of my last post it is very possible that a majority of the responsibility of the slow responce by the federal government was the fault of none other than the same people who were at fault for the horrible evacuation. And that is none other than the Mayor of NO. and the governer of La.

Clearly. But POTUS needs to demand a congressional investigation before the media complete the revisionism.

Let see the claims of Cummings and Landreiu and the black caucus hold up under factual scrutiny.

Is it just me, or is this kinda huge? Would almost warrant its own thread on Breaking news...
