When President Bush said that the results were not acceptable, this means something.

I read somewhere (I've read so much I can't remember where) that Nagin commented that Bush should send in some John Wayne guy because he already had and when that John Wayne guy started cussin things started to happen.

A lot of people on this thread expect the impossible. You are the first people to scream about small government and getting the government out of our lives, and the first people to scream that the federal government needs to solve disasters *immediately.*

This is a failure of *LOCAL* government. It is a failure of *STATE* government. Once the federal government got involved, things stopped FAILING and are getting on the right track. When you have a city's police force walking off the job, like NO's did, what do you do if you are the federal government to PREPARE for that???????

The heads that should roll should be those of New Orleans government officials. It was their responsibility to set a tone of law and order but instead allowed a "Lord of the Flies" atmosphere to prevail. Blame them, not President Bush.

You are a bunch of crybaby whiners on this thread!

"This is a failure of *LOCAL* government. It is a failure of *STATE* government."

Agreed, with one small inclusion, it's also in some part, a failure of personal initiative and responsibility.

Thank you. The blame is with the democrate local and state government!

Bears repeating.
