Bush Takes Full Responsiblity for Katrina Blunders

By Lara Jakes Jordan

Associated Press Writer Published: Sep 13, 2005

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush said Tuesday that "I take responsibility" for failures in dealing with Hurricane Katrina and said the disaster raised broader questions about the government's ability to respond to natural disasters as well as terror attacks.

"Katrina exposed serious problems in our response capability at all levels of government," Bush said at joint White House news conference with the president of Iraq.

"To the extent the federal government didn't fully do it's job right, I take responsibility," Bush said.

The president was asked whether people should be worried about the government's ability to handle another terrorist attack given failures in responding to Katrina.

That was the first question from the "DNC concubines"* after Talibani quit speaking.

Interesting that the first paragraph is innaccurate, refuted by the third paragraph. Typical MSM (AP) spin and distortion.

Post #175 was NOT meant towards you, FYI, but rather, the author of the column.
