This article shows that Bush was in control and that Blanco would not seed authority to the Feds out of fear - and people died. Do they know this article exonerates Bush?
THAT IS HOW I READ IT. IT SEEMS LIKE THE SMOKING GUN, SO TO SPEAK. GOV BLANCO REFUSED TO ALLOW THE FEDS TO COORDINATE AND EXECUTE AN EVACUATION MISSION BEFORE THE LEVEE BROKE ALL DUE TO A POWER AND TURF STRUGGLE. I THINK THIS IS HUGE. I THINK BUSH WAS ALLUDING TO THIS "PROBLEM" WHEN HE DISCUSSED "DIFFICULTIES" WITH THE STATE AND LOCAL AUTHORITIES, BUT HE WAS TOO POLITE (SO FAR) TO NAME NAMES.
Wow, why are you yelling. Turn off the all caps please.
