Here's a dailykos post from the day before the deadly storm. Bush clearly has this on his reptilian head: Where Are the Louisiana National Guard? by Patricia Taylor Sun Aug 28th, 2005 at 07:55:41 PDT I just watched a bit of the press conference being held by the governor or Louisiana and the mayor of New Orleans regarding the mandatory evacuation of New Orleans in the face of Katrina, now a Category 5 hurricane. The levee system is endangered by the flood waters and winds that will accompany this storm when it hits landfall. Historically, it is the National Guard, along with other emergency personnel, who attempt to provide emergency services to the community in disaster relief situations like Katrina. And where are these National Guard right now? (In Iraq - fighting an immoral, illegal lost-cause war)
