the Feds had no responsibility. They are prohibited from sending in
the troops until the state asks. They did not. Nagin did not ask, the
Gov did not ask. I was there the next year with Habitat Fro Humanity
in Slidell when the election was be contested. could not believe the
statements that Nagin was only mayor for 3 years, what could he do?
And they reelected him sad.

Saturday, August 27
GOV. HALEY BARBOUR DECLARES STATE OF EMERGENCY IN MISSISSIPPI [Office of
the Governor]

5AM CDT - KATRINA UPGRADED TO CATEGORY 3 HURRICANE [CNN]

GOV. BLANCO ASKS BUSH TO DECLARE FEDERAL STATE OF EMERGENCY IN
LOUISIANA: "I have determined that this incident is of such severity and
magnitude that effective response is beyond the capabilities of the
State and affected local governments, and that supplementary Federal
assistance is necessary to save lives, protect property, public health,
and safety, or to lessen or avert the threat of a disaster." [Office of
the Governor]

I am not a liar, and you are stupid! Declaring an disaster does not
allow the Feds to send in troops. Find out about the law before you make
stupid statements. The Mississippi govenor asked for troop.

defore the hurricane season started the state and federal officials held a
meeting in which they worked out a plan should something like katrina
happen, when it did the governor requested it be implemented and the feds
failed to comply..

Hurricane Pam exercise
Hurricane Pam was a hypothetical hurricane used as a disaster scenario to
drive planning for a 13-parish area in Southeastern Louisiana, including
the city of New Orleans, in 2004.[8][9] Developed by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency, the Louisiana Office of Homeland Security, Emergency
Preparedness, the National Weather Service, and Innovative Emergency
Management, Inc., the mock hurricane scenario and its projected
consequences were the focal point of an eight-day exercise held at the
State Emergency Operations Center in Baton Rouge in July, 2004. Hurricane
Pam was a slow-moving Category 3 storm with sustained winds of 120 mph. It
brought with it up to 20 inches (510 mm) of rain to some parts of
southeastern Louisiana and caused levee-topping storm surge. The
consequence assessment for Hurricane Pam indicated that more than one
million people would be displaced and that 600,000 buildings would be
damaged, with some completely destroyed. The report on the simulation,
TIME reported, warned that transportation would be a major problem in any
storm situation paralleling the fictional "Hurricane Pam." [10]




And according to the law, The Federal Gov't could not send troops until
requested by the state. You are so antiBush. Probably a HarryBot, that you
would not admit anything the Government did right in the last 8 years.




Are you trying to say that the Bush Admin handled Katrina "right"?

NOBODY, handled the situation right.
Can't you see that ?
