Katrina Blame, Final Word

Let me preface this with a warning to all liberals with more than half a brain ... man, that's a hard one to resist; but I will (har har) ... that you would be well advised to back off the criticism of GW Bush and even FEMA when it comes to Katrina.

The overwhelming evidence on this is that the mayor and governor were at least guilty of neglect and (more likely) are guilty of serious breaches of duty ... IMPEACHABLE breaches of duty. In fact, it seems that the President WENT WAY OVER THE TOP in declarations and actions to give the governor every possible means to access federal assistance, and that the governor was derelict in accessing the systems that were available to her.

In an earlier post, I indicated some real "no-brainer" things the leaders could have done to have averted most of the problems that happened. I did not know at the time that a comprehensive response plan was in place specifically for a hurricane (although I figured that there had to have been one). This is critical : apparently there are plans at both the local and state levels. This is also critical ... at this time it seems that both the governor and the mayor did not follow anything resembling the plans, but specifically took actions that the plans indicated would lead to EXACTLY the disasterous consequences that occured.

This is CRAZY! They KNEW this stuff was going to happen in detail, many of the things HAD ALREADY OCCURRED (in prior emergencies)!!! Everything is spelled out ... the mess at the Superdome and Convention centers, rapes and other problems, looting, bands of thugs, etc. The guys that wrote this document (and others reporting on emergency drills) knew and predicted all of it; not as a wild guess, but BY EXPERIENCE!!!

WOW! This should be a fun one for those incompetent boobs to weasel out of, especially that loud (and obscene) mouthed mayor. At least it seems the governor is smart enough to keep her mouth shut!

So now what happens??? My prediction, one month from now you would be hard pressed to see anything about New Orleans anywhere in the news media ... because this will be DISASTEROUS for the democraps in the upcoming elections. You have a glaring contrast between what happens when Republicans are running the show (9-11 Guiliani, Florida hurricanes with Jeb Bush, even Haley Barber in Mississippi, etc) and what happens when Democrats are in charge. This will not be the kind of message the Democrats will want to ride into 2006 with, let alone 2008.

As a final point ... remember all the grief the liberals gave Bush when he resisted (post 9-11) the Homeland Security department? Now Her Highness Queen Hillary is proposing to pull FEMA out of that department (of course, shoot now and then figure out the facts). You gotta love that!
