To blame one man for this disater is just plain hateful politics. I have read that Gov Blanco rejected Fed help the Sat night before the storm hit because of political hatred, the incompetent Mayor had hundreds of bues at his disposal but didn't use those either.

Why didn't MS/AL have some of these same problems? because they accepted FEMA help before the storm hit. LA did not because they sadly believeed they could handled it on their own...thinking of themselves first is my estimation. All of this will come out because the LA officals want the congress to investiagte their own incompetence.

I would suspect they will be removed from office after the true facts come out and that won't be on the networks because as with Iraq tey report what is bad nothing ever good. This only makes the dems look even more foolish if that is possible. able

Act of God? Sorry, I forgot we had separation of Church and State - He can't possibly be responsible.

The victims could not care less who points the finger at who. Right now the only thing that matters is they get help. The blame game is currently a waste of time. It is a discussion best left for a time after everyone is helped.

Good thing those National Guard troops were back "fresh" from Iraq like the Gov of LA said. Other wise they would not be ready to "shoot to kill" the looters like she said they were going to.

Oh, but I forgot, nothing good can come out of us being in Iraq...

Judging by the pictures it must be Bush.......Carl Rove behind the scenes was ordering the kidnapping of all the New Orleans bus drivers to make the New Orleans mayor look bad. (from the daily kos..lol)

By the way, why hasn't anyone seen or heard from Mayor Nagin for days. I heard the mayor of Baton Rouge talking on Fox tonight.

BTW, the churches and church leaders are awesome -- they're coming out to the shelters and doing all kinds of cool stuff with the evacuees.

The RATS in LA played/are playing politics with this, with their eye on 2008. They threw 1000's of lives aside for politics. Be very clear about that. The people of NO were back stabbed by their "leaders".

And surely God is not a "racist" who victimized the mostly poor black population of NO who could no evacuate.

From what I can tell, he's been in the city directing what is left of the city workforce. The only time I've seen him on TV was when the President came to tour the damage.

The single largest blame should fall on the people responsible for the failure of the police radio system. That in my mind is the single biggest cause of failure.

I guess that's where he is. It's kind of eerie, though, to not have him commenting on the goings on. Usually happens in a crisis like this.

Excuse me??? Could NOT evacuate??? Why?? Because the incompetent Mayor NEVER used over 500 buses?? Because he did not follow the evacuation plan?? Because the people were too stupid to leave their homes???
Because the Governor was too stupid to accept the fact that a disaster was about to happen???
I'm sure you catch my drift, don't you??

"Who is really to blame for Katrina Chaos?"




Umm, HURRICANE KATRINA!

Seems pretty simple to me.

Yup.....Another GOOD reason for NOT voting Democrat......The Democrat
Governor couldn't quit crying long enough to take control of the
situation and the Mayor of the City wouldn't release the fleets of
HUNDREDS of Busses to evacuate the Residents because he was waiting for
Federal Handouts.......That's what you get when you elect Democrats,
Folks!

That or on TV announcing that he's going to take his police and go to Las Vegas.
