Since before the Hurricane hit, actually on Aug 26th when the Federal Government became the governing authority for Louisiana, the Bush WH and the Pentagon were in charge of the operation of that state and the response to the natural disaster that struck them.
Now we can see now that after a week, what Louisiana got had little to do with disaster relief. Instead the gang at Bush Co ran a military operation and tried to turn Louisiana into Iraq. Instead of food and water, they delivered guns and 'security'. The first words out Bush's mouth last Friday when he spoke about the Superdome was to look directly at the camera and to tell Americans that the Superdome had been secured. Secured? WTF? If the operation worked, they were about to 'secure' the rest of America too and they still might try.
Bush met with Governor Blanco and tried to trick her into signing over control of Louisiana for good. Of course Blanco didn't fall for that one. Instead she turned around and hired Clinton's former FEMA Director James Lee Witt who is now running the show.
Then General Honore showed up on the scene to lead the National Guard. This is the turning point.
Honore showed up, looked around and told the troops to put down the god damn guns and do something. He worked with Mayor Nagin and brought New Orleans back under control. Suddenly food and water started coming in. The water started going down. The worst was over and thank god for Blanco, Nagin and Honore we won our country back. But it sure was close.
Now we have a huge mess to clean up, no thanks to BushCo. but they don't care, their business partners are going to make a lot of money off this disaster either way.
