THAT is the thinking behind having the first responders be local. They should set up a command and control center and then the feds can come in and work with the locals. They don't work independently of the locals because the area is strange to them.
Good grief, a two year old can figure that out, why can't the media?
Either incompetence or malicious motivations. Or both.
Because the media is agenda-driven. They know the facts, but doesn't it sound better to blame Bush and drive his approval numbers down. That's been their goal all along since January '01. Bush is stupid, Bush is a liar, Bush is criminal, Bush is eeeeevvvillll.
The facts are that LA and NO were being "run" by incompetent political hacks who really are the stupid, lying, corrupt, evil people in this world. They had no thoughts for the safety of the citizens that they're supposed to be leading. Their only concern was themselves.
We all saw the deer in the headlight look on all their faces the Sunday before the hurricane hit. This is what happens when you put immature, self-serving, adolescents in charge of life/death situations.
Is any of the media focusing on these incompetents?? No, because they all belong to the same family with an (D) after their name, and come hell or high water there is no way they'll ever indict one of their own.
Well, the adults are in charge now and things are getting done, people are being saved, fed, and housed in clean quarters. Thank God we have George Bush and his team once again picking up after the mess the damn D's seem to constantly be making.
Being this was a natural disaster that had been forecast for decades/centuries, there should have been a disaster plan that went into effect that should have run like clockwork in NO. Why did this breakdown? The naive ones on this forum who haven't a clue and buy into the MSM propaganda, really ought to take a deep breath, step back and look at the whole picture.
