Really? Then WHY did FEMA under Brown BUY and SHIP 100 million dollars worth of ice around the country and few ever reached the katrina-Rita victims.

A sign of a well run organization?


If you believe in croneyism then I guess you're content.

I'm glad he's gone so he can go back to judging Arabian horses.


Maybe he was good at it.

Yeah, really...I remember the hurricanes very well and FEMA worked great. Lots of other disasters worked well there, too. And hey, feedback and debriefing what went wrong is always part of a disaster plan.

I don't know all the details about this ice situation you're so worked up about, and I bet you don't know them either. Nevertheless, the facts point to a massive, utter, complete failure upon the part of local and state officials in Louisiana--and the opposite in Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, and the Carolinas where hurricanes and floods also happen.

Blaming the federal government for the failure of locals is a typical response--no one likes to think "their guy" screwed things up. But in this case, when you look at ALL the other disasters FEMA has worked on, one MUST reach the conclusion it was the local officials in Louisiana who are to blame.
