"As a result, the federal response generally was to wait for the affected states to request assistance," the report found.

Ummmm ... Can the Federal Governemtn just come in and take control of a State??

Asked by FEMA's Brown if Louisiana had any unmet needs at that point, or if there were anything else the federal government could provide, Smith said: "Mike, no."

Soooooooooo it's Brown's fault because the said he didn't need more help??

We kept hearing at the time of the storm...that aid, supplies and other things had to be requested and authorized by the Governor...and she kept wanting to "wait"...

Remember all of those boats and stuff...I KNOW at the time, it was not blamed on the FEDS that they didn't go help...but, I DO REMEMBER that those that did go in were getting shot at...

Where is the blame for the actual citizens of New Orleans??
