Collins & Lieberman are already getting ready for an inquirey to find what 'went-wrong'.

The Dems REALLY do not want us digging why after all the Homeland Security money we have given the State of Louisiana and the City of NO to prepare for disasters why this mess happened.

This Administration and the rest of the Republicans had better learn how to fight. The Administration may exhibit class, but the dems are playing an entirely different game and some of the mud thrown on the wall will stick. Much of this is not about the disaster, but rather about the '06 election. It may be in horrible taste to think about politics, but if we don't the dems will win in the next Congressional elections and prepare the way for Senator Clinton to be the next President. We simply cannot allow all of this "blame" to go against Bush. The MSM is working tirelessly to blame Bush for everything, even though their is more than ample evidence against Blanco, Nagin and Louisiana corruption, in general. And finally, there is little emphasis that many of the remaining 40,000 to 50, 000 NO residents don't want to leave - even now.

That Homeland Security check was used to replace an antiquated existing communications system. Little or none of it was used to 'retool' in order to handle a massive, terrorist attack.

We had 'appointed officials' in MA buying huge, plasma TV's with that 'friggin money!
