I listened to Bernie Kerick on Hannity today talk about the many disaster plans they had in NYC (though not for terrorist attack on the WTC), that they practiced and drilled repeatedly because of the leadership of Giuliani.
So when 9/11 happened, they implemented what they already had planned, and saved thousands upon thousands of lives.
And Rudy was on the streets helping all the time.
LEADERSHIP. Not a drop of it in Nagin.
..and keep in mind a terrorist attack was the very last thing Giuliani had in mind that Tuesday morning.... This clown doctor in NO had at least 4 days warning and did NOTHING.......

It's vital that plans to handle contigencies of all sorts be practised multiple times a year. And not in some hotel banquest hall as a pretty mental and paper exercise. Sometimes. But people think in context of work place surroundings. The excercies have to have a wide area of people and some actual physical resources engaged in it, while they are "on the job".
