Sor, your telling me the blame falls squarely on the local and state? Come on, Tim! When you have the director of Fema stating that, "he did not know people were trapped in the convention center." Even though news about the center was being broadcasted all over the world.
Oh, boy! We can fight a war on terror, 15,000 miles away but yet we have no clue about what is going on one of our OWN cities.
Now I hate America? That is a new one to me.

Because they knew those levies would break eventually and did not even have a plan once they finally did break! Thats how.

don't even start cause you can't compare these two situations. one was a terrorist attack that was completely localized and had no effect on infrastructure. the other was a natural disaster that affected a much larger area and completely wiped out many critical parts of the critical infrastructure.

It is so easy to say that after the fact.

I'm not saying it falls squarely on them, but mostly yes. There was about a 24 hours period where the government should have stepped in but that does not change the fact that the mayor and governor both knew this would happen eventually and has absolutely no plan other than to rely on the federal government.

So you really dont think they knew this would happen avantually then? This is not hindsight. I remember talking about this in High School.

please excuse yourself from this discussion. as mentioned before it is not the mayor nor the governors responsibility to come up with disaster management and recovery plans.

Alot of things are going to happen eventually. Like yellowstone erupting and a giant asteriod destroying the Earth. Fact of the matter is that, GOVERNMENTS are not proactive, they are reactive.
