Bush Apologists! WHY???
Of course, I loved it.....but why are the apologists so fucking clueless.
I had last week off, so I actually did look at the facts.
The republicans are such bad liars, that many of their own party are critical of the situation.
The mayor and governor did ask for help in advance (Fema's own web site confirms this). The Website also says that Fema is responsible for a national disaster of this magnatude! (Again, go check their site!)
Fema told 1000 of their employees to get to New Orleans within 48 hours after landfall (why so long?)
Fema and the federal government turned away early aid when it did arrive (WHY?)
Mike Brown, head of Fema, told the world that he just found out about people stuck in the city center when the rest of the world had been watching it for 2 days on TV.
Brown's boss (Michael Chirtoff) sp? said that he didn't act immediately because newspapers around the country said that "New Orleans dodged a bullet". This talking point was parroted in the entire Republican administration, but not a single paper in the country printed such a headline.
So, kids.....This is the truth.
1. Michael Brown, who has no experience in disaster management ,is THE most culpable person in this whole event. He should be fired.
2. Michael Chirtoff, who has no experience in disaster management, and is the the boss of Brown and Director of Homeland security was grossly negligent and did not secure our homeland effectively. He should be fired.
3. President Bush hired these cronies (ex college drinking buddies) for jobs that he knew that they were incapable of handling. He should immediately acknowledge his errors and fire these two. If he does that, then I will cut him some slack. If he doesn't, then he should be impeached!!!
Many people died because of this 2 day delay from Homeland Security and Fema. Somebody MUST be held accountable for those 2 days, and these 3 people are the ones who had the most control of the of managing the aftermath.
