Sheesh, let me pull out my Katrina files. Till this day NO is incompetent. I was one of many doing the 24/7 threads on the hurricane (while searching for my family), and the other three as well. I didn't forget... and they'll be real sorry if my stuff hits the light of day.

Ali I'm going to Nawlins and MS in May...I have many relatives down there I'm going to see...I'm taking time to go look around my fav city and see what I see....my first post Katrina trip and I want to see it all...I totally hear and understand what you are saying....I know some of my relatives had damage but no lives were lost only property and things...for that I'm very grateful...to be able to hear their stories and thoughts is something I'm very interested in...

Hope all turned out well for your family and friends. Katrina was an epic disaster. Unfortunately, the Dems decided to jump all over it and bash the Gov't for not having an "Unexpected Natural Disaster of Epic Proportions" plan in place. Sadly, GWB never responded to the Dems charging him with fault. [He did respond with BILLIONS of dollars!] As you pointed out, the fault lay primarily with the Mayor of NO and the Governor of LA. They had adequate notice and the means to evacuate, but didn't. And then they try to transfer the blame to GWB and then make him pay for it with OPM. [Other People's Money.]

A tornado strikes without warning. A hurricane gives much time to prepare and to leave. New Orleans did neither.

Will keep you posted on the Ramos-Compean transcript. It is harder to read than your hyperlinks. No...it's not that hard!
