The Mayor and Governor were grossly incompetent and should be held responsible by the votes of Louisiana.   To say they did not have the resources to evacuate the city is simply not true.

The evacuation plan clearly called for the use of busses and public transportation to evacuate the poor and homeless from the city.   The mayor never used these buses nor did he order overtime for the drivers of these buses.   He clearly failed the city.

You can see pictures of 200 public buses under water as they were left in low lying grounds and never used.   How many thousands of people could have bene saved with those buses. The mayor chose to let people walk to the silverdome where he did not provide water, food, or security.   Resources were available, but never used.

The governor refused to let the national guard into the city before the hurricane.   This was her decision to make and she blew it. After the flooding, the national guard couldn't get into the city.   They could have been there before the flooding and saved thousands of lives.    Another horrible decision by Blanco.

Nevertheless, mudcatters will blame Bush for these deaths.
