That's 36 hours after Katrina made landfall, not 36 hours after he realized that the attempts to contain the flood had failed, not 36 hours after he realized that LA National Guard and Red Cross workers were unable to get relief into NO and not 36 hours after violence made more delays inevitable.
THIS IS NOTHING MORE THAN ANOTHER HIT PIECE TRYING TO BLAME LA'S AND NO'S MISTAKES ON THE FEDS.
There appear to be a lot of people on both sides who have to check on an individual's party affiliation before deciding whether to blame him or her for the train wreak that was Katrina. The plain fact is that we, the tax payers of the United States, are going to have to foot the bill for this fiasco regardless of who is to blame. I'm no more interested in defending Republican political hacks than I am democrats. If they didn't do their job, they don't deserve to keep it.
