HOUSTON, Texas (CNN) -- Former President Bill Clinton on Monday said the government "failed" the thousands of people who lived in coastal communities devastated by Hurricane Katrina, and said a federal investigation was warranted in due time.

The people failed the people when they started raping and killing them and leaving the sick and infirm to die.

The people failed the people when they voted these idiots into office (Nagin and Blanco)

That was ment in a slur towards the politicos at the state and local levels.

Not towards the problem the people are dealing with.

Exactly what does he want to investigate? Does it concern the 20% of NO residents who refused to leave the city? Maybe the 145 school buses parked 1.2 miles from the Super-dome that were never used in the evacuation? Bubba is a snake and will always be a snake.

The buses weren't running. Most of them have probably not left the city of New Orleans in their lives. These are not a traveling people.

I agree they did not do all they could to save themselves. But many had little knowledge of the ways of the world outside their neighborhood.

One of the reasons is that NO one can make levees withstand that type of onslaught.

But, please do not get me started on Clinton -- that worthless bag of s---!

He would make Jimmy Carter look good in an emergency!

Nagin and Blanco make me sick; how could anyone not place the major blame of not evacuating the residents of NO on them. Incredible!!!

Perhaps it could be that the governors of Alabama and Mississippi had their emergency plans in place, and the mayors of any towns affected had their plans in check, too.

...Or, as we probably can guess, the RAT Media is over playing the Race Card, since New Orleans is 70% black, and has a black mayor and possibly an all-black city council.

You decide.

If this son of a bitch wants to open investigation, I'd like nothing better. Obstruction of Justice and wintess tampering would be a good start.

Also when everyone (including Nagin and Blanco) read the Evacuation Plan for New Orleans probably for the first time.

Yep, the failures were on the part of the State of Louisiana. Putting aside New Orleans, is there any place in Louisiana were relief efforts were going smoothly? How is it that other States can handle hurricanes without neglecting the safety of their citizens?

Let's hope - honestly, bill clinton is usually pretty diplomatic when it comes to making public statement - unlike his spouse.
