You might listen to Gen. Honore.
He said those "first responders" might well have been victims ALSO had things been allowed to run amok.

You might learn the facts before REACTing reflexively as is typical MSM and liberal tendencies.
FEMA had supply stations set up BEFORE the storm even hit.
Bush begged the state and local officials to evacuate.

"The blame game is fine but doesn't save lives..."
Liberal talking points in response to questions of LOCAL & STATE incompetence, as they drone on blaming Bush.

I agree it took Bush a little long to realize just how incompetence things really were at the state level. Generally he trusts people in leadership to act like leaders. Big mistake in NOLA!!!

What have I said that disagrees with that statement? I agree with the General.

I know all that. I am well aware of the facts. My bone to pick is the fact that the Feds didn't react faster once the magnitude of the disaster was known; after first responders were being shot at; and the situations at the Convention Center, Superdome, and overpasses were allowed to fester for days. Bush begging is not a solution.

Therein lies the problem. Bush was not well-served by Brown and Chertoff who displayed no sense of urgency and lacked forcefulness. Thankfully, Honore filled the leadership vacuum. Chertoff and Brown are both lawyers with little executive experience managing large organizations and major resources. We need professionals in these jobs, not ones with political connections.
