The 2004 National Response Plan explicitly states that, at times of
any natural or manmade incident, including terrorism, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the population, infrastructure, environment, economy, national morale, and/or government functions,
the federal government pre-empts local and state government in its responsibility to act quickly. After 9/11, the administration wisely dispensed with the formalities of deferring to local authorities (which, of course, in this case had already issued a state of emergency as early as August 26). The attempt by the spinners to blame this on the obviously overwhelmed and incompetent local authorities, doesn't fit with the Bush administration's own rules. Proof positive can be read here http://www.tpmcafe.com/story/2005/9/4/171811/1974 . Keep digging, Karl.

Funny how Bush talked to the mayor and the Gov before the flooding and ASKED (State's rights, remember?) if they needed help and they said no. If they had said yes, things could have gotten rolling faster.

You sure you don't work for the Bush administration? You love to point fingers and change facts. Never just accept the blame like a man.

Was that directed at me, or Mayor Nagin?

Try reading some of the articles from the above sites instead of the New York Times.
This is your last warning. If you do not cease and desist these shit posts I will be forced to make a fool of myself.
