How are you going to remove human error from the mix? Or are you saying that Brown made that specific call? In the military lieutenants/captains make that kind of judgement call all the time with varying degrees of success. Sometime they say turn right when they should have said turn left. It happens.
In this particular case, the problem may have been (1) bad information or (2) The NOPD was a broken organization that could not mmaintain order or (3) FEMA planning kept the Guard from coming into the mix in a timely manner.
only for the last, I suspect, can one hold Brown accountible. Generals do not make decisions for company grade officers. If they do, then the enemy wins.
"How are you going to remove human error from the mix? "
I am not talking shades of grey - I am talking the Red Cross trucks and other NONPOLITICAL Disaster Relief Groups being STOPPED BY HOMELAND.
Now we have pictyures of Oprah and Travolta handing out food, water, and insulin shots.
Do you realize how long it took to put Hollywood and the MSM in its place? Do you realize the human cost of this witheld aid?
Bush needs to Shake up Homeland and do it good - how in hades are they going to fight terrorists - they won't have 4 days warning like they did from the weatherman.
