Guess I'm really slow....

Sonar, how does this request on Aug. 28th by the Governor to Pres. Bush fit in the grand scheme of things?

Maybe you explained it in your thread, and I just didn't catch it.

Sounds like she was asking for federal help-- as the approaching storm would be beyond the ability of the state to handle it.

Trying to understand.... :)

Would that be the Emergency Plan prepared by Jamie Witt's company? The same Jamie Witt who is now advising Governor Blanco and Mayor Nagin (famous to be sure, as Lake Nagin is named after him personally) how to proceed with the recovery?

In all the Bush-bashing going on we all missed the obvious (besides it's local government responsibility to evacuate their citizens and they didn't, therefore failing their citizens in the process.

Each State has been receiving money from the Department of Homeland Security for emergency preparedness -- which includes Satellite RADIOS for police and fire to communicate with one-another.

What happened to all the money that went to New Orleans?

Too busy crying and trying to figure out how to blame the president.
