Well...saying it did, I don't believe GW would wait 10 days before addressing it, more like 10 HOURS or less to have the NG on the streets!

If this were to happen in Detroit for example however, they would be treated like riots, similar to those in LA in recent years, and addressed at the local level initially. I can't imagine the feds stepping in w/o a request by the mayor, then the governor. How long would it take for lib mayors and governors to admit failure?

"How long would it take for lib mayors and governors to admit failure?"

Well if they're anything like New Orleans, then NEVER!

After what happened in NOLA waiting for those idiotic local "officials" to get their heads out of their sorry behinds? I don't think GW would be leaving it to local libs.
