Oh Chaz, Chaz. It was Bush who paid for, organized and delegated the calvary to come in and rescue. It was LOCAL government that screwed up. Did you know that the cities didn't offer the large majority of citizens, who didn't own cars, free transportation out of the city. Hindsight is 20/20 buddy. Seriously. Saying how it should have been handled AFTER the disaster is one thing, but being in it, living in it, is certainly another.

MAN failed, period. Put a name, a face, an organization or a government title on it. Maybe people will quit thinking they are so high and mighty, and recognize who is in control here. Jesus is God! Peaceloveandpancakes...
 

Kristen, you hit the nail on the head. It was BUSH who paid for, organized and delegated the calvary to come in and rescue. Guess what honey? George was almost 5 days late with the appropriate number of troops and supplies. Sounds a little like his genius work in Baghdad huh? Well they are calling us refugees like were are from a foreign country. Hell how many times did Bush himself say on his site seeing tour that he was going to, "help this part of the world." It took all of the N.O. police to man the Superdome. Only 250 National Guard were in the Dome and it was holding 30,000+ desperate citizens. Conservative Corp Media, right wing pundits and embarrassed local officials blatantly over-hyped the looting and looters (or thugs as W likes to call young blacks and terrorists). The looting and shooting spin angle was used as an excuse as to why they had not reached or gone into certain areas. It basically bought them some PR time. Many people died between tue and fri that may not have had to. Officials knew New Orleans could only handle a category 3 hurricane and knew Katrina was a 5. So no hindsight Kristen. And no excuses. Check out Galations Chapter 6, verse 7. Have a blessed weekend.
 

Chaz,

I agree, why did it take so long?
