a part you left on the last one:
"Unless Dispatched By State, Local Authorities"
H, you are contributing to a sever mis-information campaign here. Local authorities had the ball here. Feds, including FEMA cannot over step them, and must coordiante their efforts through them.
Bush could have invoked the Insurrection Act, but that would mean he took control of the effort from a unvolentary, Democrat, woman. Yeah, that would have gone over great.
You have one that "FEMA wont let Red Cross deliever food."
Go to the Red Cross site, another word ommited there, and on your source is State Homeland Security. It is operated and run by local authorities and does not fall under the Federal Homland Security unless the Louisiana Govnr hands over control.
See, I think when all is said and done, your going to see a much different picture than what has been presented at first.
If you want to see who is most at fault, look to see who started blaming people first. that is usually a good indicator.
it is a bit mute G , I have watched person after person pointing out that FEMA stopped the army from coming in , even that FEMA cut telephone lines that the local authority were trying to use , so the local authority had to place armed guards on the phone lines to prevent sabotage , i am sure that one or two of these points might not be true , but that in no way takes away from the fact that the other 9 points are
again it seems like defending the undefendable
i have said many times that I think the fault lies at every level of government , local and federal
