Yes, yes, yes...
Nagin made serious errors in the Katrina response.
FEMA made serious mistakes in the Katrina response.
The question which YOU won't address is BUSH'S culpability in this disaster response disaster... | Pffffft. Read my posts.
1. I've already said that FEMA was not ready to deal with Katrina.
2. Brown did not correctly lead FEMA.
3. Bush was wrong to appoint Brown as head of FEMA - though there's now some evidence pointing to Brown NOT being the bone-head that people initially made him out to be.
4. By proxy, Bush was resonsible for the horrible response of FEMA to the Katrina disaster.
However... Katrina would have been infinitely LESS disastrous had Nagin simply exemplified ANY kind of leadership and intelligence in preparing for the hurricane. He did NOTHING and people died as a direct result.
Talk about unqualified! Nagin did nothing but work for Cox Cable Company before being elected Mayor. He's a total idiot, but nobody is allowed to say that because it'd be politically incorrect. |
