Bush should have hired a few Nobel Prize winners and spent a few months on studies BEFORE cleaning up the mess in 2005. /sarc

Imagine the furor if President Grant had told Chicagoans that they couldn't douse embers or rescue people until the EPA did a study of the number of houses burnt in the Chicago fire.

I'll just bet that Bush had confidence that US ingenuity could solve the problem.

He wasn't smart enough to realize America is filled with losers.
