Here is what Krugman wrote: "Here's one of many examples: The Chicago Tribune reports that the U.S.S. Bataan, equipped with six operating rooms, hundreds of hospital beds and the ability to produce 100,000 gallons of fresh water a day, has been sitting off the Gulf Coast since last Monday - without patients. Experts say that the first 72 hours after a natural disaster are the crucial window during which prompt action can save many lives. Yet action after Katrina was anything but prompt. Newsweek reports that a "strange paralysis" set in among Bush administration officials, who debated lines of authority while thousands died." Instead of discussing this you make an ad hominem attack with undocumented claims that "Krugman probably had two articles written." "One he published...this one. The other to be used if Bush did send in Federal troops in without the Governors permission....." Rubbish. One can conclude that you have no real argument with Krugman. The real questions are: Did Bush offer Blanco active Military help? If so, when? Did Blanco wait to accept? If so, why?
