exstatic... ahh changing the subject to present tense and the future as to what he is going to do... lol... that's in the fed's hands now!
what did he do before the storm that was so wonderful in your eyes that he can't be blamed for..?
Read the thread subject. We're discussing what SHOULD be done now and going forward, not what SHOULD HAVE been done. I have no idea what you are discussing, other than trying to shift the blame for a piss poor response from the Bush administration to anyone else you can pin it on.
Let's be serious here, these people aren't going home for years. Yes, the NO Mayor is overwhelmed, but it's the State and the Feds who share most of the blame for not being prepared for a disaster like this. As I posted before, this scenario was only the second most likely disaster to strike the U.S., next to a terror strike in NY city. Yet the WH consistently cut funding for studies that could have perhaps lessened the severity of this catastrophe.
Think about what has just happened - we lost an American city. Gone, vanished, not there anymore. There are hundreds of thousands of refugees, if not economic refugees, who will be roaming the South for years looking for jobs until the NO area recovers.
Houston has closed the Astrodome. San Antonio Mayor Hardberger, the perfect leader for a situation like this I may add, is opening warehouses at Kelly which could house as many as 25,000 refugees.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- As Hurricane Katrina churns toward New Orleans, the city's mayor is calling the storm a "once in a lifetime event."
Mayor Ray Nagin says the Big Easy has never been directly hit by a hurricane with Katrina's magnitude. The Category Five storm has winds of nearly 175 miles per hour.
The mayor has ordered a mandatory evacuation and says police and firefighters will fan out throughout New Orleans telling residents to get out. Still, authorities acknowledge some people might not be able to leave in time.
People can opt to go to the Superdome, but they're being told to come with enough food and supplies to last three to five days.
Louisiana's governor says President Bush personally appealed for a mandatory evacuation for the low-lying city, which is prone to flooding and relies on levees to protect it from surrounding water even when weather conditions are normal.
The preventative jurisdiction belonged to the govenor and the mayor...and will people please stop acting like the Iraq was is what is causing the shorthandedness...
The govenor has command of the Louisiana National Guard once a state of emergency is delcared....
There are only 3700 Lousiana Guardsmen in Iraq...there are 8000 available in the state.
Now...after the infrastructure has been blown out everyone is blaming the federal government...
Now it is the impossible situation...
And stop giving these people a ing pass for refusing to leave...poor? Ok...they could have still made it to the Superdome...
And heeded the warning to bring food and water to last 3 days....
Being poor doesn't excuse their refusal to do that...they could have gotten to the Superdome...it's not that ing far.
Now...the rescue services are split trying to get all the dumbasses that didn't leave their homes, and the other dumbasses that are looting...instead of trying to get everyone the out.
Every one is ing about people being left on their roofs....how many helicopters do you think you can have flying around a city at one time...how many people can they rescue per day? 100,000?
From the head of the NO Emergency operations...
MSNBC“This is a national disgrace,” said Terry Ebbert, head of New Orleans’ emergency operations. “FEMA has been here three days, yet there is no command and control,” Ebbert said. “We can send massive amounts of aid to tsunami victims but we can’t bail out the city of New Orleans."
"We have got a mayor who has been pushing and asking but we’re not getting supplies,” he said. He said the evacuation was almost entirely a Louisiana operation. “This is not a FEMA operation. I haven’t seen a single FEMA guy.”
FEMA are W's boys since Homeland Security took over. Responsibility creeps upward slowly, but it does creep upward.
ing Woodrow Wilson...
Nah, I still think it was the French, with their en levees and canals.
them!
Scene inside the Astrodome
The reponsibility is on everyone, Dan, why don't you ing get it? It's not a race thing, a political party thing, a class thing. It's a ing American thing, a nature thing, a human thing. You're a ing left wing shill who doesn't give a about anything other than pushing his ing leftist agenda.
You suck ing ass. Try to rediscover your inner human.
The local, state, and federal government all have a lot of blame. It seems clear that no one from any party or any bureaucracy has any halfway-decent plan for a major disaster, whether terrorism or nature. They all suck at emergency evacuations and emergency deliveries. The US is pouring billions into Homeland Security for just this sort of thing.
I don't blame Bush. We would have this incompetence no matter who was President. However, it would be ironic to me if he ends up getting the blame for this snafu.
It's not all on the politicians either, I mena honestly I look at their words from before the Hurricane...they weren't screwing around, they were telling people to get the out. They were trying to get them out. The military was there for the evac when the levy broke...freaking insane looters making an impossible situation even more deadly.
It's the ing worst natural disaster in US history and it's a of a lot bigger area than just ing New Orleans that got screwed...as for New Orleans...the ing place is under water...that kind of s up the evac situation.
People need to stop looking for someone to blame, becuase if you want someone to blame it's not hard to find someone...it doesn't save anyone. It doesn't make the levy not break. Let's just shut up and help. That's what America needs to be doing right now. That's what I think the majority of America is doing...and I don't think anyone involved in this is enjoying watching this happen to New Orleans.
But just we're America...we're not freaking god. There are limits to what can be done quickly in a sunken city.
ahh yes, Nbadan love natural disasters to happen, he cheers for them so he could find another reason to blame government. Nbadan=blame everyone else except the hurricane.
