I took a look at a few of those 100,000 pages of documents, not 100,000 documents and found jack shit. Did you take the time to look at them?

"And I should have started that in the first call," Blanco adds.

The hurricane made landfall 6:10 AM Aug 29th. Blanko did not ask for "everything you've got", A real professional term in itself, until 8:00 PM Aug 29th.

The critical time to evacuate was Saturday and Sunday Aug 27th and 28th. If federal help was needed for an evacuation it should have been asked for even before that.

So because of the mayor and Governor draging their feet, the evacuation turned into a difficult rescue with many people dying. Because the rescue did not go well, you want to heap all of the blame on GWB and exonerate the local, incompetent government.
