I'm not too sure why you posted all of that as none of it disproves what I was posting.

Again, I never said fema was perfect. Again, the violence had to be stopped. Again, resources were prepositioned.

You seem to think that the reports you've listed is some how the entirety of the operations by Fema, federal and state Homeland Security, the coast Guard and the Military. Yes people dropped the ball but by in large people did what they could.

I have some sympathy for the state Homeland security not letting the Red Cross into the dome because they wanted people to evacuate. But when it was realized the buses didnt come fast enough they should have let them. etc.etc. etc.. There were plenty of screw ups all around. But the reality is that without the national guard in there or police from other areas of the state, things were stuck.

I'm sure when the various committees are done, we will see many more examples of failures. But this does not change the fact that it is the State's primary responsibility and the feds back them up. She didnt even ask for federal troops till Wednesday. But it doesnt matter as they can not police.

I totally agree with you on your point that Bush is not a true conservative. His liberal streak has riled me for sometime. Like father like son I guess.
