How did the federal government 'screw up'? It took four days to get stuff down there and troops down there. That's pretty damn good IMO. If you realize what kind of logistics are involved etc etc. The only 'bad' thing I think that has happened at the Federal leave is the beaucracy (sp?) with FEMA and the intitial push. Something that I'm sure has been quickly fixed.
BTW, Mexico just rolled a few conveys of kitchen and water treatment into texas and is on its way to Houston and/or San Antonio.

I never said "conspiracy" I think the word should be "incompetency" from the top to the bottom. Both liberals and conservatives screwed up royally!!! I don't think The media created the dead bodies I have seen on TV, and reports from individuals I know that live NorEast of the flooded area. Mississippi and Alabama were hit very hard also and their help did not have to go thru flooded areas but their aid was also far too slow. Justify that if you can!
BTW could Haliburton be that large because they have gotten "special consideration" on contracts for years?
And no I am not a Liberal/Democtrat! We look like total FOOLS to the entire world!
If we can't take care of our own country how can we tell the rest of the world to run theirs.
I don't know if we have accepted any of the foreign aid offered, but I do know that with some countries it will be an insult if we refuse their help.
You need to re-read his statement. He is talking about the Mayor / Governor level 'idiots' which I completely agree with.

you are wrong, liberals and conservatives did not screw up, the entire political spectrum of this country has nothing to do with it. The people that screwed up are the idiots in LA that don't know what they are doing.
Forget about NOLA!
How about the "idiots" that live in Mississippi and Alabama,
What did they do wrong to cause the delays? They did not have the flood waters to hinder aid. The homes, businesses and hotels blown to the ground we all saw on TV were "no credible evidence"? There is no way this can be justified!
