Why? If I remember correctly there was much bitching and moaning about how slow aid was arriving after Katrina and he was in charge of that so, it sounds to me like he sucks at being in charge of relief efforts. Maybe he should just STFU.
the delay was in figuring out how to use the 82d airborne in a domestic disaster, with their arms, in a security control role ... to go in and disarm civilians to allow rescue workers access to neighborhoods - remember those hoods shooting at the rescue teams, looting, and besieging the hospitals, with the phantom Ray Nagin NO police force that failed to show up?
posse comitatus and all that
and working out lines of authority between civilian and military, state and feds. Gov Blanco was less than no help, she resisted turning over her NG units to Pres Bush and the feds but then cried and moaned for them to come help her
Surely with all the command and control issues among FEMA, National Guards, US military and the NO police- You dont think Gen Honore was in control of the timing of his deployment?
