Fox is reporting right now, that Allen, who "in charge" is not happy at all about the Mayor telling people to return...

He said the levees aren't stable, all electricity isn't on...the water is still poisoned...

YET---the Mayor is telling them to go in..

Question: If Adm. Allen is IN CHARGE---then how can the Mayor let people back in? I thought the feds took over...and that Allen was given the job because Brown was no good...

I am seriously confused....how can Bush let this happen? He should be calling that Mayor and Governor and tell them that until further notice...Allen and Honore are in charge!

He got the people out too slowly before the storm and now wants to get them back too quickly after the storm.

The reason is the same. Tourist revenue for the city. The mayor is an idiot.

Allen and Honore are in charge of some things, and Nagin is in charge of others. The feds can't "take over" a state or town without an appropriate reason.

You're saying that Bush should tell Nagin that the FEMA guys are in charge....

Could it be that Nagin still doesn't get it?

Nagin wants to be in charge as long as Nagin can blame it on someone else...

Not true. Blanco has never signed control over to the Feds. That is why regular military are still barred from law enforcement duties.
