The biggest communication breakdown that I have ever witnessed is demonstrated in the BS section of Mudcat.

Alan, wait for a week or two for the truth to come out. I had earlier thought that the head of FEMA should be fired as well as the Mayor of New Orleans, plus others. Now, I may have been mistaken.
Alan, just watch for further reports on the Governor of Louisana.

The Mayor did not follow the exact plan of the Emergency Outline but the overall debacle was not completely his fault. I am not saying there were not delays encountered higher up but in the case of the Governor, "you can lead a horse to water, but can't make them drink".

Wait a while to see the factual truth.
