Could you spell that one out for me please?

So whom else to blame?

Mayor told them to go - he also told them to bring 3-4 days food and water. He also mentioned he'd prefer they evacuate but for those who couldn't get out, this was the next best thing.

Perhaps you should review the [link|http://www.thinkprogress.org/katrina-timeline|timelines], but emergency was [link|http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2005/08/20050827-1.html|declared] and FEMA supposedly in charge 2 days prior to hurricane coming ashore (although there is some [link|http://www.bobharris.com/content/view/637/1/|confusion] around the scope of this).

9/11 showed we lack command and control integration of multiple services. Dept of Homeland Security and FEMA were supposed to fix that problem. In a dry run last year with hurricane Pam, it was shown that the problem remains. In the wet run of Katrina, the problem remains. The job isn't getting done.

Tim Russert [link|http://movies.crooksandliars.com/Imus-Russert-Katrina.mov|lays] it out pretty well.

Meanwhile, Jon Stewart does a fine job of hitting the high points of Brown's [link|http://movies.crooksandliars.com/TDS-Meet-the%20F--kers-9-7.wmv|leadership].

Also, why do you suppose only the Dems want an independent investigation while the Reps insist we don't need one? Seems a bit like the foxes launching an investigation into chicken disapperances on behalf of the farmers.

Extra water, extra food? 3rd string quarterback is taking alot of blame here.

As much as I want to believe it, it seems odd that NeroBerk would be so obviously fiddling (literally) with that SES (Shit-Eating Smirk) on his puss, with an obviously distraught black commoner so close to him. jb4 shrub●bish (Am., from shrub* + rubbish, after the derisive name for America's 43 president; 2003) n. 1. a form of nonsensical political doubletalk wherein the speaker attempts to defend the indefensible by lying, obfuscation, or otherwise misstating the facts; GIBBERISH. 2. any of a collection of utterances from America's putative 43rd president. cf.* BULLSHIT
