Bush takes some blame in Katrina responses

WASHINGTON – President Bush said Tuesday that he bore responsibility for any failures of the federal government in its response to Hurricane Katrina and suggested that he was unsure whether the country was adequately prepared for another catastrophic storm or terrorist attack.

“Katrina exposed serious problems in our response capability at all levels of government, and to the extent that the federal government didn’t fully do its job right, I take responsibility,” Bush said in an appearance in the East Room with President Jalal Talabani of Iraq. “I want to know what went right and what went wrong.”

In response to a reporter who asked if Americans, in the wake of the hurricane, should be concerned about the government’s ability to respond to another disaster or a terrorist attack, Bush said: “I want to know how to better cooperate with state and local government, to be able to answer that very question that you asked. Are we capable of dealing with a severe attack or another severe storm? And that’s a very important question.”

Bush's Deer-in-the-Headlights Moment on Climate Change

On environmental issues, Mr. Bush appeared unfamiliar with an administration report delivered to Congress on Wednesday that indicated that emissions of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases were the only likely explanation for global warming over the last three decades. Previously, Mr. Bush and other officials had emphasized uncertainties in understanding the causes and consequences of global warming.

The new report was signed by Mr. Bush's secretaries of energy and commerce and his science adviser. Asked why the administration had changed its position on what causes global warming, Mr. Bush replied, "Ah, we did? I don't think so."
