I always thought state and local government was the first line of defense? They're Democratic. Can't attack them. The jokers who have turned this thread into a Bush Bash have no clue how things work in the real world. Problems are real simple in the rear view. They're also a whiz for the man that doesn't actually have to solve them. And that sure includes this crew.

You all think this is funny. It is atrocious what has happened. And a total failure of our government. I suppose the local or state government could call in the National Guard? If they were in the country. I suppose they could call in the Navy for the assets necessary to do this job? I think our leadership should be held responsible after this fiasco of support. You even blame the local government. How truly sad that statement is. They were wiped out. Wiped out. What part of that do you not understand. There is NO LOCAL GOVERNMENT LEFT! The way you defend this inaction amazes me. It really does. You said, "To some folks, nothing is good enough." That is what we believe you believe. Bush does nothing and that is good enough. You are so transparent.
