The problem is we have too many of our assets deployed outside the country, there's little or no leadership coming from Washington (despite the canned speeches in the Rose Garden), and NO ONE ever thought it would be this bad.

You are so full of crap I think you need to go to the bathroom...they were told for days before the hurricane that it was going to be bad...that it was going to be HORRIBLE...days before...and I won't even comment on your Bush and military bashing...troll..

"troll" = more high school name-calling

I have nothing but respect for the military (particularly having come from a military family going back a century and a half--AND being a professional military historian). And that's not to mention the first responders. I actually feel a little proud of them all, even though I'm not part of the rescue efforts.

You've got to get over the fact that the Mayor of New Orleans, the governor of Louisiana, are incompetent.
