"FEMA, Slow to the Rescue, Now Stumbles in Aid Effort" Why am I not surprised? Under Chertoff, FEMA has devolved into an agency even more useless than it was pre-Witt. It has been suggested that was a design goal, to provide proof that the government isn't really capable of doing good for the people. I was listening to NPR earlier in the week and they interviewed some people in a parish whose name slips my mind at the moment. Anyway, there is no FEMA presence in the parish at all. So if someone needs aid, they need to travel to an adjacent parish. But, if they leave, then they may not be able to come back, at a minimum get delayed several days while the authorities verify that they live there and have some reason to enter their home parish.

BATON ROUGE, La., Sept 16 - Nearly three weeks after Hurricane Katrina cut its devastating path, FEMA - the same federal agency that botched the rescue mission - is faltering in its effort to aid hundreds of thousands of storm victims, local officials, evacuees and top federal relief officials say. The federal aid hot line mentioned by President Bush in his address to the nation on Thursday cannot handle the flood of calls, leaving thousands of people unable to get through for help, day after day. What they hell did they do to FEMA? Seriously, disaster recovery was supposed to be one of their centerpieces in a brave new world after 9/11. What have they been doing the past 4 years? Are they trying to destroy the United States? This goes beyond any reasonable explanation. Clearly, Brown was not even close to the key to the problem.........the whole agency has been emasculated. Why? What could possibly be their intent for doing this? Have they done this to every federal agency? I am more worried than I have ever been. Disaster relief is hardly rocket science. Their continual inability to function nearly three weeks after the disaster defies comprehension. Bush has to be removed from office.........immediately. ted
