If you know a Cat 5 is on the way--you act BEFORE it hits land--not after!!!!
Exactly. The NO officials had to be watching the monster Cat 5 all over TV. The weather experts were warning about this very scenario occurring. They had 48 hours to get people out. They didn't even make an effort to help people with no transportation.
To be fair, when President Bush declared an emergency on Saturday, Katrina was still a Category 3 storm. Nagin had to roll the dice. In hindsight he made the wrong call. By Sunday it was too late for any mass bussing effort.
Pretty base conclusion I've come to when I realize their failure to act, and then cast off blame, USING what I'd assume they consider 'collateral damage' (gangs, looters, theives, murderers and rapists; the trapped, dying, dead, and the infirm) over the air for political purposes. Nut doesn't fall far from the tree when I consider Cindy Sheehan.
These people make me want to vomit.
