Quote:
The federal governmen has, in short, demonstrated an utter lack of foresight. Bush was giving specious pro-war speeches and dodging Cindy Sheehan when he should have been helping local governments prepare.
The governors of Louisiana and other affected states were reduced to begging the federal government for aid. Under Clinton, they wouldn't have had to ask: Such aid would have been understood as inevitable.
Even Bush the elder immediately sent 25,000 troops to clean up after Hurrican Andrew. Bush the younger won't be able to spare half that amount of manpower.

No politics about it. GWB doesn't have the money or the troops or the supplies to deal with a disaster of this magnitude. People are dying because of his policies.
Everybody but the genius knows that he has spread the resources thinner than a sheet of paper to deal with this Iraq fiasco.
