baloney. you are just feeding into the childish behavior of many americans, that a disaster on Tuesday needed to be "wrapped up" by Thursday, else its proclaimed a quagmire - a term the left loves to use.
Hardly. No where in my post did I indicate any such thing. I'm pretty certain that I understand the difficulties involved in the relief effort (background in military logistics), have never said this was going to be quick or easy, and I don't think I have ever used the term "quagmire".
I merely point out that as the situation unfolds, even Bush supporters must not have blinders on when it comes to problems at the federal level.
This does not excuse incompetence at the state and local levels, nor does it imply any impatience at the pace of the recovery/rescue effort.
