Except the Nursing home.  No one had heard of him.

They should give a science medal to Nagin and Blanco, for proving buses can not float in water..

Typically when somene resigns it is because he was asked to. Or is given the choice of resigning or being fired.
The resignation is a way to be seen as saving face.

Especially the fact that it was overlooked at all levels that the 1st responders could be as much victims of the event as anyone else. Only government could miss this obvious truth.

Not through lack of effort for some like Bill Maher.

Anyone check out this weeks "Real Time with Bill Maher"?

Dont think I've seen a group of more clueless people in my life.

Least on this topic.

Everything from the feds didnt go in because they people there were black to The feds shoulda been in there the second day.

I cant watch more then 5 min of the show  before I want to reach therough the TV set and grab Maher by his selfrightous throat and just choke him till his eyes pop out LOL

Basically is a show of liberals bashing anything they can on the right. As often as not they lure some right winged sucker in there as a sort of sacraficial lamb and proceed to have their way with them.

The more I see of this kind of nonsense the more I am inclined to agree with a local Radio show host out here.

"I hope the Dems win the next election. I really do.
Not because I support them but because I just cant take the whining anymore.
 Take the presidency, here its yours. Just PLEASE stop all the whining."

Brown was an appointee, but he had to be approved by the THEN Democratically-controlled Senate...Lieberman gave him a warm tribute at the time

Yea I happen to watch this weeks and last weeks epp and it really got me mad.  Normally the show is entertaining but they basically called all the reports of looting "right wing slant"  These tards have no clue what FEMA does nore do they know the geography of NO.  It was pathetic idiocy.  


Notice how when ever you see somone on TV tell a liberal about the complete failures of the local govt they say somthing like:  "yes there's probably plenty of blame to go around and we'll find that out later BUT"  And the next sentence contains one or both of the following words "Bush" or "FEMA".


You gotta love liberals.....they try so hard at failing.

"Brownie, your doing a heckuva job!"

"Nobody had any idea that the levees wouldn't hold."

Anyone care to guess who these quotes are from? Kinda makes you wonder about the others he has and wants to appoint, doesn't it?

It's been 4 years since 9/11. What's changed? Well for one, Homeland Security was created, and FEMA was rolled into it.

So lets imagine that it wasn't NOLA the last couple of weeks. Lets imagine instead that it was Los Angeles. And lets say that it wasn't a flood, but some catastrophic terrorist attack. Nukes or germs or something.

Now, what would all the finger pointing about jurisdiction sound like to you? What would blaming a mayor sound like to you? What would the excuses for five days of inaction sound like? How to account for the near total breakdown of communications, command and control? How to account for the lack of any meaningful leadership?

Would it be enough to say "Well yeah, Homeland Security tried to do its job, but the damned Mayor screwed it all up!"  Would that really fly? I hope not.

So four years after 9/11, what is the lesson of NOLA?

I don't like Lieberman, so boo on him for them not fact checking.  Besides, if it's a political appointee, the only reason they are usually denied is if they purposefully pissed someone off in a seat of power on one of the committees.

Juristiction.
Placing the blame where it belongs. Although he shares it with the governor who deserves the lions share
The Law.
Screw up with FEMA
What happens when a beurocrat is appointed to a position he is unqalified to have.



the Fed did try to do their job. The Governor and mayor DID screw up.

Dunno about the land of the maple leaf but down here there are laws the federal government HAS to follow

Fly or not. thats the way it is

Well good luck to ya then.

If Homeland Security hasn't already worked it all out with the various states when it comes to getting in there and averting compounded disaster, then what good are they?

Are we to assume that Homeland Security is gonna do its job, so long as all the phones work, and an amicable solution can be reached within 48 hours of the event on the questions of jurisdiction; upon such time resources will be freed up and allocated?

This is a response to disaster?

Dunno about you. Seems weak to me. If this stuff aint figured out in advance then why even bother?
