And why can't we all settle with the "Everyone screwed up" part?

No joke. If half the energy spent on arguing who's at fault were spent on cleaning up NO, they'd be a lot closer to reopening the whole city.

Determining who is at fault is part of cleaning up NO!

Man I'm glad she isn't President, who knows who she might have named as head of FEMA!

Bush only names incompetent Republicans to key positions, not incompetent Democrats

Yeah, Democrats have to elect them. I'm lovin' this!

So... I guess this means that the federal government didn't realize that New Orleans was going to need more than just the resources Louisiana could mobilize following a near direct hit by a Category 4 hurricane? That they really had to wait for a phone call from the governor before they could prepare the country's response? And, of course, they couldn't call her I suppose...

:roll:

LOL, leave it to a dam engineer (pun intended) to bring common sense into the fray. Dam n00bs!

LOL. No, Bush can't just waltz federal orgs into LA without the governor's request. That discussion has already been dealt with in here. There are laws in this country that prevent that sort of thing, for good reason. Common sense would clue someone into that fact. Maybe it's the n00bs that aren't aware of the law?

Edit: And Bush DID call her. He had to urge her to get evacuation orders issued. Remember?

She should have called more often and demanded faster response. On the other hand, it was obvious they needed the help. at least most of the country thinks so and Bush has admitted as much.

One thing is for sure, it shouldn't take a frickin lawyer to get federal aid into a disaster like this and it shouldn't have taken as long as it did.

hehe I like this news article quote from that site:

"Athiests account for 902,000 or 0.4% of the US population. Those who believe in a God or some sort of a higher being account for over 86% of the US population. It is amazing that such a small minority can rule over a large majority. "

damn we all be in some serious trouble!!!

Well, the conclsuion is that only 14% of this country are capable of logical thought.

Naw, it's bigger than that. Only 48% are Democrats, the rest think pretty well.
