I came to the same conclusion. Here is my post from another thread:
"Well, I watched this thing since the morning of the levee break. For nearly two days it was just dead air, nothing.
All I saw was news conferences and interviews, but no movement of anything physical. The other thing I saw seemed to be constant meetings behind the scenes but nothing ever getting done.
I would love to know who these people were. My sneaking suspicion is alot of those were lawyers, DNC politicians, party mucky mucks, and liberal political strategists. Possibly even liberal special interest groups like the ACLU. It felt to me that Blanco was a figurehead who was not leading, but being led by handlers behind the scenes.
And that's where my tin-foil hat gets clamped on tight. I hope, I really hope, that there wasn't a strategy to politicize this thing by dragging feet for a couple of days in order to create a crisis to blame Bush. It's the liberal MO
There are a number of whiffs and snippets here and there really have tainted this whole thing with a smell. The primary red flag for me is that they were in CYA mode from zero hour. Given what we know how they had dropped the ball on the levee system and other preps (almost certainly due to corruption), they were acting like they (were) laying down cover.
And on queue, the media took up the ball like someone faxed them some talking points. I've seen this pattern a hundred times. No solid proof, just disturbing patterns. Time will tell hopefully, but I'm not holding my breath."
Now I am seeing several stories about obstructed supplies. The smell grows ever more rank.
I remember seeing Clinton, Witt, and Edwards coming to Eastern NC after Floyd...............September 1999. Why is this picture stuck in my head, reading this thread.
And add to the smell the fact that she stopped the people from being forcefully evacuated today.
