It turns out the governor of Louisiana is your problem.
From your liberal rag the Washington Post no less..
Why do you keep spreading your filthy lies? You know the truth and you know that the article you posted is in error....that the info came from the Bushies who are desperately trying to discredit Blanco. There are vermin to be shot but they are not on the streets of NO.
From the article whose link you posted:
"Behind the scenes, a power struggle emerged, as federal officials tried to wrest authority from Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Babineaux Blanco (D). Shortly before midnight Friday, the Bush administration sent her a proposed legal memorandum asking her to request a federal takeover of the evacuation of New Orleans, a source within the state's emergency operations center said Saturday.
How dare they blame Blanco for their incompetence?!! Talk about cheap shots.
The administration sought unified control over all local police and state National Guard units reporting to the governor. Louisiana officials rejected the request after talks throughout the night, concerned that such a move would be comparable to a federal declaration of martial law. Some officials in the state suspected a political motive behind the request. "Quite frankly, if they'd been able to pull off taking it away from the locals, they then could have blamed everything on the locals," said the source, who does not have the authority to speak publicly.
There you go.....Rove needs to pass the blame onto someone else. They were setting up Blanco and Landrieux.....too bad Senator Vitter, Republican, agrees with Blanco and Landrieux!
A senior administration official said that Bush has clear legal authority to federalize National Guard units to quell civil disturbances under the Insurrection Act and will continue to try to unify the chains of command that are split among the president, the Louisiana governor and the New Orleans mayor.
Louisiana did not reach out to a multi-state mutual aid compact for assistance until Wednesday, three state and federal officials said. As of Saturday, Blanco still had not declared a state of emergency, the senior Bush official said.
Lies........more lies. And you already knew that too.........CJ had told you yesterday.
Blanco declared a State of Emergency on 26 August, 2005 BEFORE the hurricane hit! That's why Landrieux wants to punch out the president........and deservedly so! They are lying vermin.
GOVERNOR BLANCO DECLARES STATE OF EMERGENCY
