I ask the question below on one of the biggest blogs yesterday and have failed to get any answers.
Can someone give me 3 things that FEMA failed to do. Example: Did they failed to get security into New Orleans after the flood. Any reasons or facts will do, I would like to know them.

I couldn't give you a list of 3 things. I can tell you some things they could improve. But you always learn after any operation. All reasonable people know that. For example, more command centers and service centers in Mississippi seem to be needed. But FEMA's there and the work has begun in what Gov. Barbour called America's Hiroshima.

Do these people expect FEMA to wave a magic wand and make it go away? If someone's got that magic wand, they need to wave it and make Gov. Blanco go away.

I could have said simpler the failures all wind up at Gov. Blanco's feet because of her intransigence and her insistence that she was the one in control and calling the shots. So she didn't let the Red Cross in to bring relief to the SuperDome for example. It just isn't really about FEMA per se. It is about what do you do when a sitting Governor endangers the lives of American citizens during a disaster, catastrophe, insurrection, terrorist attack, or act of war.
