Yeah, and Bush told Nagin to evacuate the city. Can we have the post by the next troll?
It's already been established that Nagin and Blanco dropped the ball. But there were MANY at the federal level who were not prepared for this. Chief among them Chertoff and Brown.
Because it happened under a GOP administration, a lot of people here are going to deny, deny, deny that there was any problem with the Federal response. That's the perfect way to make sure nothing changes, and when some city is destroyed by an Al Qaeda bomb, the feds STILL won't be prepared for it.
Don't think it can happen to your city? It can and will. Time to put aside the partisanship and let the chips fall where they may, even on FR.
