I agree, they did nothing wrong. what people in amongst the media/Dems/some freepers wanted out of this was to federalize the whole effort sooner, as if FEMA and Bush should have known in advance that Blanco wasn't going to do anything, and therefore move 24 hours earlier then they did to federalize it. that's really the time period that the argument boils down to - 24 hours faster.
Oceanview -- I've had the same thought. If things had happened 24 hours earlier, the left wouldn't have a leg to stand to stand on. Not that I think they have a leg to stand on anyway.
