re: What happened? You and DR were having an intense conversation about FEMA when he suddenly disappeared around the time M. Brown resigned. That's strange! DR is going to have to backpeddle... looks like even Bush thinks his admin sucks... UPDATE 1-Bush on Katrina response: 'I take responsibility' Tue Sep 13, 2005 12:42 PM ET WASHINGTON, Sept 13 (Reuters) - President George W. Bush took responsibility on Tuesday for any failures in the federal government's response to Hurricane Katrina that struck two weeks ago and acknowledged the storm exposed deficiencies at all levels of government four years after the Sept. 11 attacks. Asked if Americans should be concerned their government remains unprepared to respond to another major disaster or a terrorist attack, Bush said: "Katrina exposed serious problems in our response capability at all levels of government, and to the extent that the federal government didn't fully do its job right, I take responsibility." Speaking at a joint news conference with Iraqi President Jalal Talabani, Bush said, "I want to know what went right and what went wrong. I want to know how to better cooperate with state and local government to be able to answer that very question that you asked. "Are we capable of dealing with a severe attack or another severe storm? And that's a very important question and it's in our national interest that we find out exactly what went on so we can better respond," Bush said. The president plunged in the polls after fierce criticism for the government's slow response to the hurricane that ravaged the U.S. Gulf cost when it struck on Aug. 29, killing hundreds and displacing 1 million people in one of the worst natural disasters in U.S. history.
