FEMA or no FEMA, the responsibility for New Orleans rescue and evacuation lies with the national guard under control of Governor Blanco of Louisiana.
FEMA is the federal governments way of trying to help. But they can't command troops or police or civilians to do anything. Military-style operations are at the moment unltimately controlled by Governor Blanco. Gen Honore doesn't answer to Bush. He answers to the Governor.
People seem to have this stupid idea that Bush can just send in the Army and take care of business. But he is not permitted to do that. It is actually illegal.
You go into a store. A cashier makes a misktake. You talk to him. He does nothing. He doesn't listen. Then who do you talk to? Who is there to solve the problem? Yes, you ask for the manager, because the manager has power to make changes. A manager isn't there to help you in the first place but if sh1t hit the ceiling, a manager is there to fix it. If
But, what kind of manager and his people do we have here? What has he done so far?
Throughout his years, he claimed that he's the one who can protect America. He claimed he's the man who can keep America safe from disasters. We've seen how he can be aggresive when it comes to invaing a country. We've seen his impressive works creating a war based on a lie. We've seen him/his people lying.
Are you saying he can't just send army? Are you saying he's not permitted to do so? Are you saying it's just illegal? Did you ask that question when he was creating a war?
He created the war by lying and breaking an international law. And now you're saying it's illegal for him to help your people dying?
P.S: Stop lying to yourself. Do you really still trust this man? Do you really trust he can keep America safe? Do you think he's doing his best in this situation? Does he meet your expectation, or is your expectation too low that it doens't matter?
Just for a minute, think of Bush as someone else and rate him. What kind of rating can you give him? Do you really think Bush is the man who can lead America in times of crisis? I don't think so. He's good at making a mess but not good at fixing it.
