So why wasn't it ready to go when Katrina hit? Why did the other ships carrying necessary supplies as well as earth moving equipment did not leave until Wed. Its called pre preparation. You really are ignorant as hell. This wasn't a military operation; this is what the National Guard is for. There are substantial legal issues in involving the Active Duty military in these types of operations. Disappointing......not your usual good response. All it took to get the active military involved was Bush's command. You need to quit trying to defend the feds response......every other GOPer has given up long ago. The natural guard is notified ahead of a disaster that they might be called up. People are expected to make arrangements so that they will be ready to move when the disaster hits. Its FEMA's responsibility to make sure the national guard is ready to go. That did not happen. Why? Ask the governor. It is the governor's responsibility to involve the Guard. I believe she did call up some number; but the reality is, as General Honere has clearly stated today, if you preposition men and materiel close enough to the hurricane to be able to get in immediately, those men and material would have become victims. Not rocket science, but I understand it is a hard concept for YOU. They were staged in TN, TX and GA. It takes five days to get from TX to NO? Did they go by way of Alaska?
