This is not our finest hour.
Only if you are a Democrat and one of those in charge. This is the blame game at it's ultimate. What more could Bush do that he hasn't already done. This mayor is like all Dems, critisizing but with no plan of his own to deal with the problem. There were many things this jerk and his counter parts in the state government could have done BEFORE the hurrican hit to make things better.
We have had devastating floods before, hurricanes before, and the areas have never devolved into the kind of anarchy that is occuring in NO.
There are two things going on here, one is the situation was escalated by the AG standing behind looting, which quickly deteriorated into all out anarchy, and the other is that the MSM is magnifying the seriousness of the anarchy trying to make Bush look bad. This is keeping relief workers out of the area and making things worse yet.
None of this is Bush's fault and he will come out looking good to the people who have a brain.
The Dems will come out looking like the incompetent fools they are. Australians, while nice people, really have no idea what goes on here in the US.
May not be, but N.O. is reacting more like Somalia than a US city IMO. Where else have the rescue operations in helicopters been met with gunfire in US? Where else has FEMA conducted operations while children are being raped in the streets? (That's according to a Fox reporter this morning.)
No it is not and the attackers on all sides including the dopes in the media are contributing to it big time.
