Why didn't he do that? They have known for 40 years that something like this could happen. Why weren't plans made by the mayor, and the governor for dealing with a disaster? Why did they wait til Saturday to call for evacuations? Why didn't the governor have the national guard and state police on stand-by? (I've read that there weren't enough police in NO long before Katrina struck).
All these questions, and many more could be asked, but now is not the time. The mayor seems to have regressed to a 10 year old child having a temper tantrum, and blaming everyone else for his mistakes.
Too bad, the people of NO need leadership- they are not going to get it from their elected officials.
By the way all you, screaming about how much help they are not getting- It took 3 days to deploy the national guard during the Los Angeles riots- that was with everything working- the roads were clear, the had electricity, phone service, everything- the area was no where near the 90,000 square miles of damaged area from Katrina- it still took 3 days to get the guard to the riots.
As I said, I really playing the blame game, but those Rats forced my hand. They are only interested in taking down the GOP, and I won't stand for it.
