the president has ample authority to employ the military in homeland defense against the threat of weapons of mass destruction in terrorist hands.

So Mother Nature (or Katrina) would have to be declared a terrorist?

LOL!

One thing some people seem to keep forgetting is that THERE WAS A HURRICANE! You can't send the military into 150 mile an hour winds, posse comatatus or not, and you can't send them into raging floodwaters.

This whole discussion is getting ridiculous! There was no 'slowness' of response on the President's or the government's part.

THERE WAS A HURRICANE!!!
