imagine what 9-11 would have been like, if Rudy and Pataki and everybody else - fled the city right after the attack, and just started doing TV and radio interviews asking "where are the feds"?

Let me also add if it hasn't been said here...Pataki said NY National Guard had arrived on Monday night with supplies. I am reminded of the first days in Iraq when all of the looting took place. The criticism was non-stop, overblown and ultimately beside the point.

The damage of this tragedy is in the number of lost souls yet to be counted and the months and months of rebuilding that await. The media and Dems once again demonstrate that they can't contain themselves. If the President plays his cards right he can lead an incredible recovery, these first few days will be forgotten and the Congress will be left only to investigate the failure of state officials in Louisiana.

Frankly, I don't know why so many keep referring to the response to 9/11. It covered only a few blocks of a city. This disaster stretched from NO to Pensacola.

Well I do see one comparison, all the carping about why nothing was being done to the terrorists while the military took the time it needed to stage personnel and supplies. But when the military was in place, you saw quick and decisive results.

People tend to forget these kinds of facts.

We knew Rudy and Pataki were great back then, now we see they were even greater than we imagined.
