It is amazing the way people are acting in the parts where Hurricane Katrina has hit... looting... gangraping.... deaths.... firing on rescue workers.... and much more.... here was a strange picture which I really think to see and read the writings on it and think what kind of world is that part being.......

it wouldn't surprise me.. if bush says... katrina was part of terrorist act..

I don't go and stick on your idea, cuz you guys have collected full of junk news for only criticizing, I did watch TV and found that truth is G.Bush went there after second day,,,,,,, I like the Mahisasur idea: We don't do politic something like senate-hall or debate among the candidates. Fed-Budget matter is totally out of task, we can talk but we need to use our sense a bit before denouncing our budget speech focusing to disaster. Fed. Gov. has no huge budget for upcoming disaster. Thugged out, the MSG you posted would be the MASALA for New presidential election. We deal with Natural disasters,,,,,,, and you are totally expressing your analyzing towards president's weakness. We have no time to read that full of shit political Bhasan........
And Nepali,,,,,,, we do donate as needed to Nepal. First I had hard time to donate to Nepali victims for past disaster. Later on I found and gave donation through Nepali Embassy which was double of my donation to American Red Cross at present.

Jefferson Parish President Aaron Broussard 's interview with Tim Russert on NBC's Meet the Press might have answered some of the questions, however his emotional cry to the apparent lack of sudden response to a massive natural disaster summarizes the policies of the Bush Administration. Their continuing lack of irresponsible foreign and domestic policies pulvarizes the catastrophic policy blunder. There was a failure in responding to such a devastation and there needs to be a thorough investigation much larger than the 9/11 commission.

Congessional delegation needs to be setup to ensure a detailed investigation. However, I do agree with former President Clinton, this is not the time. The time will come but for now, heal the unhealed, help the needy and share the suffering...

God bless the families of the victims of Katrina.

I myself am inclined to agree, that using this as a platform just to bash Bush is silly but the fact is fact. If someone else was in his place people would have said the same thing.

Well, a failure to lead is still a failure. The three biggest disaster threats facing the US according to FEMA are Cali quake, New Orleans hurricane, and New York terror, IIRC. I'll give him a marginal pass on NYC terror because he was only in office for less than a year, and I have no idea if he has led the gov't to improve a quake in CA, but the facts are that he took money (thus not only physical infrastructure but much needed expertise) away from FEMA and did nothing to prepare for a disaster in New Orleans.

People keep decrying, but how would he know? Or, it's easy to be a Monday morning quarterback, but they elected him to be a leader, and he failed to lead.

Furthermore, by sending significant National Guard units away from the south and to Iraq, he deprived the citizens of the gulf coast the best trained back-up plan to deal with a disaster.

Finally, since, as it turns out, it's common knowledge that this could have happened, the lack of marshalling of federal resources to evacuate the city as the hurricane approached is criminal. No one has a bigger motor pool than the Feds, and yet they did nothing. Many people (though not all) left behind could not evacuate on their own, and now they have to work 100 times harder to save them. As the hurricane bore down on the Gulf Coast, the President was rallying before a homer crowd in San Diego.

Failure to lead, cutting funds, doing nothing with the info coming in from FEMA, and then doing not enough in the moments up to the catastrophe all flow uphill, and there's only one man at the top.

And so the games begins....

I'm just going to go on record that Bush seems to have a horrible ability when it comes to thinkingout the results of his actions.

"That memo about Osama didn't seem important."

"You're either with us, or agianst us."

"Who needs an exit strategy in Iraq!"

"Bring them on!"

"Why would they continue funding hurricane evac planning for an area identified as highly likely to be hit by a hurricane?"

I'll leave now.
