You see there is just one person to blame here in the whole New Orleans debacle. It would not have been what it was if the people weren't there.
Kathleen Blanco, governor of Louisiana, is the real criminal. She knew this was going to be a killer. She knew that our coast was going to be effected in some way. She knew that New Orleans was a city below sea level. She knew and did nothing.
Do you want proof? Look to Mississippi and Alabama. They took the worst this storm had to offer and the numbers of dead will be in the hundreds. We took the west, weaker side and our dead will be in the thousands.
Why weren't these people ordered to evacuate? Why weren't the residents of New Orleans ordered to evacuate sooner? Why are there parked busses, flooded on the ground in New Orleans, while they stacked thousands of Louisiana citizens in the Super Dome?
Because the person responsible for the citizens was asleep at the wheel. She had plenty of time to move more people. She had the resources to do it. She didn't plan. Everyone knows that failing to plan is planning to fail.
I have no doubt that our federal government will learn some lessons from this. I refuse to start pointing fingers in that arena yet because they are the ones responsible for what IS getting done right now. I want them to do there job and then we can examine what went wrong in the rescue. If the director of FEMA screwed up, then a thousand lashed and then behead the bastard. If it falls on Bush (coming from a far rightie) string that fucker up. I have no problems with that, though I doubt they will find a way to pin it on them.
The short and sweet answer is this: We wouldn't have had to deal with this sort of rescue operation if Kathleen Blanco had done her job. She failed and people died.

Bush: Move To 'Safe Ground'
Nagin exempted hotels from the evacuation order because airlines have already canceled all flights.
Gov. Blanco said President George W. Bush called and personally appealed for a mandatory evacuation for the low-lying city, which is prone to flooding.
Speaking Sunday, Bush said that he "cannot stress enough the dangers this hurricane poses to Gulf Coast communities."
"I urge all citizens to put their own safety and the safety of their families first by moving to safe ground," he said.
WDSU meteorologist Dan Thomas said the dangers from the hurricane cannot be overstated.
"I've told some people in the newsroom, I think this is going to be the scariest moment of your life," he said.
Just a question. Why did the Prsident have to call the Govenor?

)? It tends to run around in circles and act completely uncontrolled. That's what happens to an organization under stress when the leadership is suddenly removed. Ask a Combat Arms officer why they're trained to go after commmand/staff from the beginning: you'll get that answer.
