We are seeing a preview of how the federal government would handle a massive terrorist attack on a large American city. We're seeing a preview of how the federal government is going to react when -- not if, when -- Islamic terrorists manage to launch a devastating attack on a major American city. We had warning on this hurricane. Days of warning. The Muslim terrorists have already issued their warnings ... do you think we're ready?

For a strategic port that handles the most tonnage in the USA, New Orleans' abysmal disaster management shows that Homeland Security is nothing more than a box of crayons. What a total waste of time, manpower and money that has been expended in the Homeland Security Agency... makes you realize we've been ripped off and must take our safety into our own hands.

Bush is at fault for trusting the bureaucracy. I believe he initially resisted the creation of Homeland Security Agency, but libs who seek a government solution to everything prevailed. But Tom Ridge was put in charge, and either he duped Bush or Bush didn't pay sufficient attention to what exactly was going on. I can't blame Bush for NO, but I do blame him for the total waste that is called The Department Of Homeland Security. The moral of this story: Government should lead (it can't), follow or get the hell out of the way.
