Who lost New Orleans ? (Bush again loses Buchanan)

Ultimately, the attacks will come around to a single target, President Bush, and they will run along these lines:

First, he was out of touch in Crawford, not alert to what was coming – and, indeed, photographed fooling with a guitar the day the storm hit. Second, despite the investment of scores of billions, the Gulf Coast, on his watch, was unprepared for a Category 4 hurricane.

Third, when the need arose for the Louisiana and Mississippi National Guard to save the poor of those states, and defend lives and property after the storm, 7,000 Guardsmen were not on the Gulf of Mexico, but in the Persian Gulf.

Finally and critically, there is the question of why the levees broke and New Orleans was inundated, lost for years if not forever. As of Monday, the city had been spared. The French Quarter was dry. Then came the deluge. And there are print and TV allegations that funds allocated to strengthen the levees were diverted or cut by the Bush administration.

1. Just repeating what we all know

but I really HATE it when I agree with this man.

It will take the real conservatives to throw the bushie neocons OUT.

And we do need at least two parties -- so I would like to see the real Republicans take back their party. Because there are decent people who just happen to be Republicans -- the old fashion kind of Republicans.

Nixon would have handled the Katrina response far better than bushie did.

2. This is well put, even if it is familiar

<The anti-war movement has a new argument: What in Iraq is more important than Mississippi and Louisiana?

<As the cost of the disaster mounts, the questions will tumble, one upon the other: Can we afford both Iraq and resurrecting New Orleans and the Gulf? Which comes first? As the Gulf poor have lost most, ought not taxes be raised on the rich to pay for both?>
