REASON why B*sh did not ask a single question @ Aug 28 Katrina briefing: |
|
http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/K/KATRINA_VIDEO?SITE=7219&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2006-03-01-18-15-10Nobody wrote one for him. Video footage of the Aug. 28 briefing, the final one before Katrina struck, showed an intense Brown voicing concerns from the government's disaster operation center and imploring colleagues to do whatever was necessary to help victims.
"Go ahead and do it," Brown said. "I'll figure out some way to justify it. ... Just let them yell at me."
Bush appeared from a narrow, windowless room at his vacation ranch in Texas, with his elbows on a table. Hagin was sitting alongside him.
"I want to assure the folks at the state level that we are fully prepared to not only help you during the storm, but we will move in whatever resources and assets we have at our disposal after the storm," the president said.

It does seem to show even though incompetent, Brownie did try to get something or someone on the ball and get things done.
"Aug. 28 briefing, the final one before Katrina struck, showed an intense Brown voicing concerns from the government's disaster operation center and imploring colleagues to do whatever was necessary to help victims.
"Go ahead and do it," Brown said. "I'll figure out some way to justify it. ... Just let them yell at me."
Seems he wanted to do something. Maybe (well we know) he was just to incompetent.

12. I agree- the MSM has been very cooperative in making Brownie THE Bad Guy |
|
A disaster of this magnitude required LEADERSHIP, DIRECTION and FOLLOW-THROUGH from the top, not an empty cowboy suit wearing a sherrif's badge.
