Hey, you are the guy defending an acute degree of incompetence here; not me. I'm lambasting the guy for it and his attitude...

...just like I did Michael Brown. Despite his name, he's most assuredly "white as bread" so feel free to shove the racial connection up your posterior where it belongs.

No, just getting my aggrivation aired out with pariahs and the idiots that suck up to them...

if you want to make it into a race issue talk about why most of those people who couldn't escape are poor and black and why they didn't get more help when the evacuation orders were issued. that's more of a race issue than your tirade.

You just LOVE punching holes in your own boat, don't ya? Ring up Mr. Nagin and ask that question, since there was a BLOODY field of busses that could qualify for it's own zip-code that the STATE and LOCAL numbskulls didn't think of using or even PLAN on using for evacuations. Ever heard of a call-list for evacuations? FL has; LA damn-sure hasn't.

The failure has NOTHING to do with race; it has EVERYTHING to do with abysmal planning, poor leadership and a pair of clowns heading the state and local efforts in LA and N.O.

So, tell me again why you've jumped into this?

the GOV of LA and the mayor of the hardest hit city in mississippi all have the same issues with the handling of this disaster.

The difference is that at least one has the presence of mind not to NOT recklessly throw blame around and push responsibility off on everyone but themselves for a LACK OF PREPARATION.

because your post says that he's going against the recommendations of FEMA to evacuate when that's not the case.

Here's a clue; Nagin and the governor of LA ignored everyone about Katrina until it was WAY TOO LATE! They have a freshly-documented history of doing so. It took Thad Allen of FEMA jumping the gun to publicly air a request to HALT the N.O. re-population before Nagin chimes in...

you're part of the posse that supports not questioning our gov or supporting their case when they've made bad decisions. and even though you're singling out the katrina disaster i'm referring to a disaster much larger than that. and you know what i'm talking about. tough guy.

Utter, complete, absolute BS. Iraq is a mess and I've said as such; given the intel that we had at the time and in-hand, it WAS (bolded for those with recurring reading-comprehension problems) the right decision.

It was proven not to be, which I've said over and over again when the writing was on the wall. It's become something entirely different that what it started out and "bailing" out now will only make matters worse.

Nice try for a tangent, by the way.

Maybe because there's over 3/4 of the country at the time that thought the move was the correct one. Any Neanderthal with half a cranium intact can tell that bad intel and the selective use of such didn't lead to Katrina sneaking up on LA...
