The decision by NOLA local government (Mayot Nagin) to save the buses instead of deploying them to evacuate the "poor", the infirm, those needing help, etc. with a category 5 hurricane approaching, has been a a major factor contributing to the chaos and has lead to many unnecessary deaths. The pgotos of the undeployed buses sitting in 4 feet of water a half mile from the Superdome tells a terrible story. Why do we not see these photos on the media and why are reporters not questioning this? Someone obviously made a decision that keeping the buses safe by not deploying BEFORE the hurricane
would not risk damaging them so they could be used AFTER the storm hit, to ecacuate those who weren't dead. New Orleans has NEVER deployed their buses to evacuate the "poor" and helpless before any hurricane. Criminal. And everyone is blaming Bush.

While there is sufficient blame to go around and fill every politician's resume', a question that is entirely fair: Is there no limit to which administration apologists will go to cover a patently obvious failure of command and initiative?

Rationalization, time-lines, finger pointing and claims of innocent, well intentioned ignorance of the situation will fill our newspapers and tv screens for at least until after the next presidential election cycle. We will hear every jot & tittle of who did what; and when.
