[A Navy Vet]

Gerald at the Super Dome during Katrina: (paraphrase) "Whoa is us. Look at these children. They have no water, no food, no decent shelter. Where is the Fedgov? Where is Bush? We're all gonna die." Shepard Smith of Fox News did the same crying blaming game.

Facts:
1. Louisiana Governor Blanco had 4-5 days warning that it was coming;
2. Federal laws say the Governor of a State must request fed assistance.
3. Bush asked her to request such, she didn't until too late;
4. Bush had already mobilized FEMA out of state awaiting Blanco's request;
5. Mayor Nagin was asleep at his watch so to speak. He is now in jail for other reasons.

6. NOLA cops were confiscating guns from little old ladies and others, while some were looting stores.

7. Many idiots didn't leave when they could, as just recently happened with Matthew.

Katrina was the biggest cluster-frig I've seen in 2 decades.

I didn’t realize Ray Nagin was in jail. Good news. Good place for him.
