Do you think terrorists see the futile, incompetent 'response' to Katrina?
Advertisements [?]
Don't you think they realize now that we're no safer, nor are we better prepared to deal with a major catastrophe?

Example: Suppose that instead of a hurricane, terrorists bombed the levees surrounding New Orleans...

Would it take 5 days or more to get food or water or medicine to victims?
Would it take 5 days or more to evacuate the sick, elderly, children, disabled?
Would it take 5 days or more to restore law and order?

Would it take 5 days or more to organize shelter?


It's not like Katrina caught us off guard, we saw it coming.

Even if you ignore Bush's slashing of funding for Hurricane preparedness, flood protection, and Levee upgrades and maintenance, his lack of a plan, utter incompetence, and ignorance of the scope of the disaster has cost more in lives and dollars and damage than we could ever imagine.

He's derelict in his duty.
