Ex-FEMA Chief Tells of Frustration and Chaos

If you consider who his boss is, and how the rest of the government was staffed, I wonder if Brown could have done any better... you can read what he was up against... consider at least he had to manage the disaster for a president was on a long and continuing vacation.
Then consider the mess itself: the evacuation. The mayor said there was a plan: get the people to high ground and then wait for the rescue. Only, the rescue never came because the national guard wasn't there and Fema was under homeland security and New Orleans was Democratic and was not a city in Texas and we saw how the president felt for California during the so called energy crisis.
And the mayors plan was totally right: there was high ground, there was shelter, what there was not was any timely federal support, which was totally expected but not a shred turned up.
Yeah, when things get messed up and not cleaned up for too long, shit happens. And it did. (Notice that the white Christians of Ireland are rioting... that's what people do and it is not a "for Muslims only" game.)
Finally, note the opportunity for Bush, again: the nation in some distress, some panic, turns to their president who spends money he hasn't got and money we haven't got anymore because he's given it away or spent in on a war of his choice which he lied to get us to.
"Oh", the people cry, "maybe Bush has learned!"
No, Bush already knew everything he needed to know, it's the people that haven't learned. Bush will advance his agenda. Period. Game, set, match.
