The Battle for New Orleans

I am PISSED. This is the US, things should not be going the way
they're going.

What kind of idjit reduces funding for flood control in a flood prone
region that contains a large city. Yes, I blame "Shrub"

Where the heck is the Guard/Army, there are hordes of military bases
down south (which is another rant) Why the heck didn't one of those
big Chinook helicopters drop a frickin generator and emergency medical
personnel at the Superdome. The army has all sorts of "equipment and
facilities in a box" that are designed to be carried to places at a
moments notice.

What the heck is the Department of Homeland Security doing?
FEMA is part of the DHS now, those levees and whatnot could have been
targeted with bombs so why wasn't there more preparation.

And don't tell me that race/class issues didn't play a part in the
governments plans. They have money to buy all sorts of equipment for
Wyoming and Idaho but can't fix the levees near a mostly black, very
poor, rather Democratic city?

My father just said, "Good thing this is his last term." And you know
what, I think the Republicans just lost the 2006 2008 elections.
