In another article on this NOLA website you find:

Nagin singled out Gov. Kathleen Blanco for criticism,
saying that the governor had asked for 24 hours to
think over a decision when time was a luxury that no
one, especially refugees, had.
“When the president and the governor got here, I said,
'Mr. President, Madame Governor, you two have to get
in synch. If you don't, more people are going to die.”
Blanco and Bush met privately at his insistence, Nagin
said, after which Bush came out and told Nagin that he
had given Blanco two options, and she requested a full
day to decide.
“It would have been great if we could have walked off
Air Force One and told the world we had it all worked
out,” Nagin said. “It didn't happen, and more people
died.”

Bush probably gave her the option get a competent person on your end or I will Federalize your National Guard. Blank-o got Witt.

I've been saying Nagin is hinting the Blanco is the problem, but the MSM, incessantly on CNN, implies it's Bush.

The governor was commander-in-field, and she was not up to it.
