Having said that, almost everything I have seen since Katrina struck the coast has been absolutely predictable including the lawlessness in New Orleans. This is not Monday morning quarterbacking. The governor has had her liberal head in the mud "expecting these people to be on their best behavior". The mayor is clearly incompetent as well. You can mark a good bit of this down to the abject fear Democrats have of images of forcing lawful behavior upon a majority of poor black citizens. I suspect that is also why Bush has been derelict at declaring federal marshal law and bringing a immediate halt to mayhem.
Now we move to the Feds. Bush is to be applauded for prepositioning relief resources but it should have only taken 8 hours, no more, to realize that was inadequate and massive federal resources should have been mobilized immediately. Giving speeches to VFW organizations while New Orleans sank reminds us of Nero and Rome.
I have come to the sad opinion that Bush, while, occasionally selective of the correct solutions, is woefully and inadequately slow in the decision making department. This has cost lives in New Orleans that he, the governor, and the mayor should be called to account for. His most damning failure as president has been his failure to protect the country from the invasion that continues on our southern border.
Bush needs to be removed from office.
This is probably not a popular view with most Freepers and dedicated conservatives (I am both) but reality demands more than blind support. It demands cold objective judgment and action.
The hurricane and people's decision to remain, cost lives.
Where do you come off saying Bush hasn't made good decisions?
What time line do you live on?
Do you think things just fall out of the sky?
Yes, let's not lay the blame where it belongs. On the people who refused to leave when told to and on the looters are making the Search and Rescue efforts inefficient.
Talk about trying to make "political hay" out of a disaster. You're the definition of that.
