no the feds had the responsibility.
and 100 school buses that hold 40 people aren't going to evacuate a
city of several hundred thousand.

nothing is ever the chimps fault is it.



But...Bush had all of years of "executive experience," as a business
executive and governor, and, of course, all that "military
experience."

What he didn't have and doesn't have is judgment. and neither does
McCain.

That situation was totally screwed up from the beginning. Seems to me
Bush initially did what he was supposed to ..... make federal help
available, but the operational decisions were left up to local and
state governments, as they should have been. Bush earned the
reputation of being too late to act because the locals dragged their
feet. If I recall correctly, Bush had to *order* them to start an
evacuation.

bush was at a fund raiser in arizona.
he never ordered anything.
the city state and feds had worked out a plan.
the feds didn't do their part.



Not just on this issue, but on every issue, the amount of rationalization
that you see to make excuses for the utter incompetent of the Bush
Administration is simply mind-boggling.


are you sure you meant that reply for me?


I think it was directed at me.

BTW .... I misunderstood your comment above. You are absolutely correct,
and I also agree, Bush and his administration blew it, big time. It's part
of a bigger picture of overall poor leadership.
