Guest G, Rare Lamb. et al.-

Congratulations, you're defending your boy to the last half-truth.


As Dianavan, Bev and Jerry, and I, among others, have pointed out, Bush could have done a lot more early in the crisis. Using the military for law enforcement was not the only option--in fact, that was the only option closed to him.

Yet again, it's fairly obvious why the difference in federal response between Florida in 2004 and Louisiana in 2005---in 2005 it was not at the top of his agenda.

As stalwart Bush supporters, it's understandable that you're a little slow.
