Democrats: 9-11 had a commission, Katrina needs one too

[SF Republican]

Lee Hamilton needs work?

[The Worthless Miracle]

Golly, would this focus on Nagin, and Blanco, or would it primarily focus on President Bush?

[HarryCaul]

They really don't want to investigate Katrina. It won't serve the Dems at all to focus attention on something that's already been placed at Pub feet in the popular mind, but in reality is spread pretty evenly between the two parties. There's nothing to gain and quite a bit to lose.

[HOTTIEBOY]

Heres the conclusion to my investigation:

The water in the Atlantic Ocean was warm.

A storm developed into a hurricane.

The storm run aground in New Orleans.

The smart people that took responsibility for themselves and their family got out like they were told.

The LOCAL DEMOCRAT OFFICIALS did nothing to ensure that the people that could not leave were taken care of.

The LOCAL DEMOCRAT OFFICIALS blamed Bush once again.

[My2Cents]

Donna Brazile, a Democratic strategist, said Democrats will make Katrina a priority because there are still so many problems on the Gulf Coast 15 months after Katrina hit.

And who the he!!s fault is that, Donna? Personally, I don't think the federal government has any responsibility to rebuild New Orleans, other than to guarantee low-interest reconstruction loans like in any other natural disaster. New Orleans not only suffers from a poverty of the material means, but also suffers from a poverty of spirit which would rather blame a Republican President for its woes than do the work necessary to rebuild itself.

Here's a suggestion....

WILSON ASKS U.S. ATTORNEY TO INVESTIGATE JUNK CAR DEAL

[RexBeach]

Ah, yes. The legendary first black hurricane continues to wreak havoc.

What BS.

[SuziQ]

On the eve of taking control of Congress, Democrats are interested in forming an investigative panel similar to the 9-11 Commission to investigate who was responsible for the levees that broke during Hurricane Katrina and to probe the government's efforts to repatriate and rebuild this devastated city.

I don't think they ought to go there. They won't like what they find.

[tcrlaf]

Will they include the part about Jesse Jackson screaming "RACISM!!!" when FEMA tried to Wargame a hurricane hitting a large city, with social unrest as one of the results??

Welfare minorities would NEVER riot when all the social services and Police protections break down, would they?

[unixfox]

What was more important, the 3 days BEFORE the storm or the 3 days AFTER the storm?

They are simply clueless.

[freekitty]

No, they don't need a commission.

[TRY ONE]

Chappaquiddick needs one also!

[Michael.SF.]

The Dems have not milked this one enough yet?

[hnj_00]

the commission will conclude....

it was Bush's fault.....he is responsible for the weather and for the stupidity of blanco and nagin...and he has not given enough money to rebuild the slums of the chocolate city!!!!

ok...the US just saved a lot of money!!!

He suggested that Democrats in Louisiana, in particular Gov. Kathleen Blanco and New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, would have a lot to lose if a commission started sniffing out who blundered.

"Any kind of commission would explore what happened on the state and local level, and it would surely find fault on how relief was delivered nationally, but it would find a tremendous amount of fault on the state and local levels."

sorry...the Rats will start...and end.. the investigation at the federal level..it will never get down to the state & local level.

[Bahbah]

Big government doesn't work. There...no need for a commission.

[My2Cents]

They won't like what they find.

No problem. The findings and conclusions of said commission have already been made.

[Calpernia]

I wonder if the Katrina committee will investigate this?

Naaah.
