It seems like some people consider intelligence and class something that comes along with race or social status.

I refuse.
I have a right to talk about what I *believe*, not what I *think* is hard fact. It's more or less like an opinion.
Otherwise, BPP should've shut up about Queen and Paul Rodgers in the first place if that's the case.[/QUOTE]

Louisiana Senators thanked Bush.
In frustration, the New Orleans mayor and Louisiana governor, played hard and loose with the facts.
As illustrated in this link, there was more federal aid than the Brain-washed far-left Democrats would lead one to believe.
Typical Democrats, with no decent ideas of their own, all they can manage is to bash Bush.

As of Tuesday, less than 24 hours after the storm had passed over the area, this represented the federal response to date to the disaster. Here are some highlights:
FEMA deployed 23 Disaster Medical Assistance Teams from all across the U.S. to staging areas in Alabama, Tennessee, Texas, and Louisiana and is now moving them into impacted areas.
Seven Urban Search and Rescue task forces and two Incident Support Teams have been deployed and propositioned in Shreveport, La., and Jackson, Miss., including teams from Florida, Indiana, Ohio, Maryland, Missouri, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. Three more Urban Search and Rescue teams are in the process of deployment.
FEMA is moving supplies and equipment into the hardest hit areas as quickly as possible, especially water, ice, meals, medical supplies, generators, tents, and tarps.
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) dispatched more than 390 trucks that are beginning to deliver millions of meals ready to eat, millions of liters of water, tarps, millions of pounds of ice, mobile homes, generators, containers of disaster supplies, and forklifts to flood damaged areas. DOT has helicopters and a plane assisting delivery of essential supplies.
The National Guard of the four most heavily impacted states are providing support to civil authorities as well as generator, medical and shelter with approximately 7,500 troops on State Active Duty. The National Guard is augmenting civilian law enforcement capacity; not acting in lieu of it.

In a natural disaster of this kind the help initially sent was NOT ENOUGH. When you have a city covered by water on its 80%, it calls out to send as much aid as possible within hours, not days.
After all, Bush wasn't criticized by only Democrats but Republicans as well for not responding quick enough to the emergency.

The truth of the matter is that by now is too late to play the blame game. The only thing we can do as individuals is send our own donations and hope that the rescue and relief teams have everything they need to aid the victims.
So true Jingles. I think they even should have send aid before this disaster happened. People knew what could possible happen there, days before. There was time to evacuate lots off people. And they should have been prepared to give aid immediately after Katrina reached land.
As I mentioned before this wasn't a disaster that came without a warning. Days in advance everybody knew that it was going to become a category 5 hurricaine that was going to leave everything in its path in nearly complete destruction and total chaos.
Every President must think about citizens of his own country firstly. And after it about people of Iraq, Albania etc. If you can't defend your own country - don't try to bring your political system to others. If you put all your money into 'democracy for all' instead of building something what would help to stop dangerous weather factors... Well...
And then that other country flies planes into your country's landmarks. So how does that work out?
I'm not gonna discuss with you about Mr Bush and his politic, you don't hear reasons that me and other persons talk to you. I think you need to find political forum instead of music's for sharing your thoughts, we're not good enough to understand them.

Yes... you're right FreddiesGhettoTrench. It's good they let all the people die in New Orleans. If they would have helped the people within a few hours, there would have been several plane crashes all over the US, due to Al Qaeda. Viva Bush!!!
"In a sign of the political pressure facing Bush, Mississippi Republican Sen. Trent Lott (news, bio, voting record), a former Senate majority leader, said he has been battling the Federal Emergency Management Agency and its Mississippi counterpart for help for his state and urged Bush to cut red tape."
The Democrats would have done so much better as they never have trouble with red tape.
Miracle - did you read my link? There was preparation, and there was aid given - Are miracles to be expected when a whole city is flooded and police and firefighters are partakers in the looting?
Jingles - The Hurricane hit Monday morning - New Orleans was not 80% flooded until Tuesday night.

All politicians share the blame for their incompetence to respond to this disaster. They're the ones who didn't respond quick enough to this emergency and they're the ones who cut the budget of FEMA and other emergency organizations when this is a country commonly hit by hurricaines, tornadoes and earthquakes. Why put the blame only on the Democrats? Oh, and this comes from someone who calls others "brainwashed". Pleeeeaase!!

Sure, there was local aid, but with a disaster of such magnitude do you truly think these poor rescue workers, paramedics, nurses, firefighters, and cops have ENOUGH help to aid a whole city in chaos?
As I mentioned many times before this was a national emergency predicted to happen days in advance. Aid from the Federal government should have arrived withing hours, and not 5 days.
Jingles - The Hurricane hit Monday morning - New Orleans was not 80% flooded until Tuesday night.
And what difference does that make? The city eventually was flooded in its majority. Just because some people had more time to flee or climb trees and rooftops doesn't mean that they're going to be safe. In an emergency like this the lives of hundreds (perhaps thousands) hang on a thread that could break in a matter of minutes.

Hang on, I wasn't aware that any 'country' had flown planes into anything. Or is that something being hidden from us here in Britain by our supposedly 'biased, left wing media.' Although seeing as a large proportion of our media is still owned by Rupert Murdoch, I don't think 'left-wing' is a particularly accurate description!
Try getting your facts straight next time kiddo.
The same paper that called for the firing of everyone at FEMA is the SAME paper that, on July 24th, 7 weeks before the storm, told people that in this exact scenario, that they were ONE THEIR OWN to get out....
The dependency of government, expecially in these areas, is appalling. However, that said, if there is a failure on the part of gevernment, it rests solely on the shoulders of the local and state folks.
Mayor Ray Nagin waited until 24 HOURS before the storm to sound the mandatory evacuation, not George Bush. The criminals shooting at the rescuers kept the buses out of New Orleans for a full 24 hours, as they wouldn't send the buses unless equipped with ARMED GUARDS, not George Bush. The 145 RTA buses, parked less that ONE MILE from the Superdome, not used to evacuate 9,000 people in one trip, but left there to flood is George Bushes fault too, I presume? What about the 200 yellow school buses under water, yup. 200 x 50? 10,000 people, who could have been moved out of harms way by the local authorities? Nah, blame George. Sickening....
By the way, it is not an "Us versus Them" situation, as some here would like you to believe. It is a matter of being personally responsible, or depending on Government to do everything for you.....
Sadly, personal responsibility is something that, in this world, is sorely lacking. WHen you point the finger at someone else, there are three more pointing at you....
But that is probably Bush's fault, too......
