There should have been Martial LAW declared in the affected area as SOP in the event of a natural or man-made large scale disaster such as this,,, and shoot to kill orders standing orders in the event of lawlessness such as looting. The failure to secure especially NOLA in a timely manner with troops was a tragic blunder of this event. (Bush's leadership is weak here.) Lets hope that lesson is learned by the bureaucracy

With all due respect, Louisiana is not part of the federal government. It is, in fact, a sovereign state of the Union.


President Bush is not Dictator Bush. There are processes of law that shall be followed prior to the federal government taking any action contrary to the wishes of that states elected leadership.


Should you wish to denegrate the President, you have every right to do so. Try doing it with factual information.
