I am a huge Bush supporter but I really dont think he has stepped up to the plate quick enough on this one. Yes the democrat idiots in Louisiana have been no help before or after the Hurricane but Bush will end up taking a big fall if he does not get this situation under control TODAY. People are going to really start dropping like flies the next few days and those are images that will stick with the American people forever. 100 years from now people are not going to go "Who was New Orleans mayor then why didn't he do anything?" they will go "Who was the President then, why didn't he do anything?"

Bullsh!t.

Who was the President during the San Francisco earthquake, and what did he or didn't he do? How about the Johnstown Flood, the Galveston Hurricane, etc.?

Since I am absolutely certain that no more than 0.1% of the people reading this post can answer even one of those three questions, your comment is absolutely silly.

My view is that the responce was totally unprepared for the resistance it hit in New Orleans, hind sight is 20/20 but since 911 I've have thought planning including a component to deal with any resistance encountered after a diaster/attack. The planners failed and failed badly there. If they have a plan on dealing with resistance now would be a good time to put it into play.

Can't really blame the feds for this mess, they did not create it and they are not the ones reponcible for cleaning it up, La/Ms/Al are, feds are suppose to play a backup role providing resources if local government requests it. The feds are not suppose to be the primary responder to a huricane. But they are suppose to be the primary responder to armed resistance in a wiped out American city, so where the hell are they? That is what is pissing the hell out of me, people dying on roof top in the hot sun because some gang bangers taking pot shots? That is totally unacceptable, get some real men in there and take the gang banger out fast.
