Tonto, they've been cut to NOTHING since 2003, in the articles I posted. Read 'em. They're from the New Orleans Times-Picayune, not some right wingnut source.

Tonto, You sick chimp lover, they've been cut to NOTHING since 2003, in the articles I posted. Read 'em. They're from the New Orleans Times-Picayune, not some right wingnut source. Not only that, check THIS: (ust so you'll know who's responsible for the after-disaster clusterf*ck ) Feds' Disaster Planning Shifts Away From Preparedness August 31, 2005 By BILL WALSH, BRUCE ALPERT And JOHN McQUAID c.2005 Newhouse News Service New Orleans Times-Picayune nola.com WASHINGTON - No one can say they didn't see it coming. "...A case in point, they say, is the decision to take away from FEMA its historic responsibility for disaster preparedness. Now the agency, part of the Department of Homeland Security, will focus on post-disaster search and rescue. The Homeland Security agency plans to create a new directorate of preparedness, covering planning for both terrorism and natural disasters. But it is still on the drawing board. Russ Knocke, a Homeland Security spokesman, said the reorganization will lead to better disaster preparation. "It will let the experts on planning and preparation focus on that and the experts on search and rescue focus on that," Knocke said. But experts in disaster planning say that it has already sown confusion among those on the front lines of preparing for disasters like Hurricane Katrina. "It's very confusing to the state and local governments," said James Lee Witt, the FEMA director in the Clinton administration. "Who do they go to and how is it going to be coordinated now? It's really going to be fragmented. I've talked to a lot of the states, and I don't think they're very happy about this." ..<MORE>

Did CLinton occupy Iraq and cut levee funding 70 despite FEMA warnings? I think not. Why does every blunder of Bush's have to be converted into a Clinton blunder, even when he's been out of power for 5 years and didn't make the same mistakes? Doesn't make any sense. 9-11 happened on Bush's watch too. After he was warned. CLinton went after Osama and Al Qaida. Bush didn't, except for a brief period after 9-11. Not before it. and not since he invaded Iraq.
