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.

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"?



Nope, they did not. Did the Louisiana people handle it right? They screwed
up even worse than the Feds. Would Clinton have screwed it up. Probably
the same as Bush. Is N.O. worth rebuilding? Probably not as they are
trying to do.
