You big idiot...that wasn't FEMA's fault, it was the mayor of NO and the Gov. of LA...You don't know what you're talking about once again.

You didn't hear any harsh words from the press or anyone else, in the 2004 hurricanes in FL did you? "Brownie" handled those with FEMA just fine...with the Governor Jeb Bush. Now in 2005, what was the difference in LA? Same Fed Gov set up, BUT a disorganized (being kind) State and Local NO Government.... You do know that FEMA isn't set up to do anything else but to coordinate various agencies work, don't you? The State calls the shots.... OR NOT as in the case of LA. Both Nagin and Blanco were both WAY over their heads....

No, I beg to differ with you. The State of Louisiana was to blame for what happened before, during and after Katrina. They've know since the early 1960's that levee needed replacing, not repairing but replacing the whole kitandkaboodle. They've know for hundreds of years that the lower half of Louisiana would be lost if a CAT 5 hurricane hit there but they did nothing. You can't lay the blame on one person. You need to lay the blame on the shoulders of all the politicians that have been running Louisiana for the last 106 years. After the 1900 storm that took out Galveston Texas, they knew that if that if a storm that size ever hit N.O., they would be done for. They knew, they all knew and they didn't do a damn thing.
