Rob't Kennedy is clearly insane I couldn't believe that his delusional rant was put into print. To think that there are people (registered voters) who are lapping that stuff up is scary...I mean...really scary.

spectre, he said the results are unnacceptable, not the efforts themselves. I think we can all agree with that.

No I can't agree with that either.
1) New Orleans and LA state police walking off the job.
2) Breakdown in command at Mayor and Govenor level.
3) Breakdown in communications between agencies.
The convention center debacle has been in the news for the past two days. Last night, the radio traffic asked if there had been water or food delivered there yestereday. And the answer was -- I don't know.
Sure, there are plenty of people working hard, but there are many in power and in the ranks who let the city down.

"You apparently need the lecture"
Yeah, I do. Sorry if I sounded insensitive, I was just trying to point out the lack of civil unrest during our four hurricanes last year. I hope those people in NO get the help they need. It would have come faster if they didn't shoot at those trying to help.

Yes, that is how I understood it too. Civilian Volunteers and Fema were being shot at and their boats were being stolen. It's a sad time, when rescuers can't get to people because gangs are shooting and doing violence. It's a nightmare.
Bush said, the results of this rescue has not been acceptable. Let the Mayor Governor and Senator try to spin it. They had no plan and no help for anyone. Not even their police officers. Could you imagine Giuliani saying to press, he didn't even know what day it was. Unbelievable.

Lake Ponchartrain is brackish to salt. Not potable, even if cleaned.

You're honestly asking that question? In my town, we use the Swedes to plug levee holes, but I guess the black people would be just as good. Ridiculous notion. Another example of the media wanting to believe Americans are racist ignoramuses. I read a story this morning where one evacuee called this 'genocide'. It's really, really, really bad, but genocide it is not.

I will be very surprised if, three years from now, N.O. is more than half the size it was last week.
People still don't comprehend just how bad this is... including most of the people on FR.

They might, in the months to come. They most assuredly will. Much crying and gnashing of teeth in our country's future -- outside of politics.

I posted pretty much the same thing.
Bush has gotten stay on top and ahead of this - not only in the rescue and repair aspects - but in the PR battle.
Whenever the Dems and their allies (the media) start spinning the same 'ole "Where's Bush and the federal govt?", they have to set the record straight.
To: Peach
The idiot governor has not made the *right* declaration and request to the Feds. She knows what she has to do to get Federal troops to patrol NO, and she won't do it. Or is mentally unable to do it.

To: Warren_Piece
We can't "Control" it. Nagin can't. Blanco can't. The fed's can't. And it's nobody's fault.
You know, I'm starting to realize that is absolutely right. All of us want everyone still alive in New Orleans to be saved, but too many won't.
This was a massive storm. The destruction is widespread and intense. Operating in that environment is slow, and very inefficient.
The government can find ways to improve our system for a better response, but that really only helps for future disasters. Right now, I'm grateful for those who are working in the current system, no matter its limits, to save everybody they can.
But you are right, this is overwhelming our ability to respond, maybe bigger than any emergency system America could establish. So this kind of disaster is never going to be handled with perfect efficiency.

Not only was his voice angry his body language said it all. IMO Mr. Chertoff is in deep doo doo with GWB.He looked like he was ready to smack Chertoff upside the back of his head.

I was responding to your insult to someone else. If you were insulted by what I asked you, you might want to reconsider what you were saying to the other poster.
And I heard what the President said.
I agree completely with him. The results have been unacceptable.
People will blame him, and they will be wrong.

He looked like he was ready to smack Chertoff upside the back of his head. I'm really fed up. What they need to do is air drop Blanco and that FEMA Brown character at the Convention Center with a few bottles of water strapped to them.

Bush is very troubled. He knows incompetence when he sees it. God be with him.
