Giuliani is focused on the now and on finding ways to 
    strengthen our preparedness for such hard-hitting 
    disasters. "[S]peaking at an event in Norfolk, Virginia 
    last night," Giuliani said "it's not helpful to question 
    decision-makers while the rescue work is ongoing." 
    He "says the facts don't yet show if the response was 
    slow, or if any agencies or individuals are at fault." 

    "This is a dismal pattern in Washington. This blame 
    pointing, the Democrats have been saying it is all Bush's 
    fault and it is all Michael Chertoff's fault and Michael 
    Brown’s fault, and he ought to be fired. The best attitude
    towards this whole thing was I think [Senator] Susan Collins
    when she said the point is not to fix blame, but to fix 
    the problems." And in his Roll Call column Kondracke 
    continued, "Instead of turning the tragedy of Hurricane 
    Katrina into a new opportunity for partisan finger-
    pointing, Congress ought to be working to make sure that 
    government agencies can handle the next disaster."
