The sad thing is, FEMA and Bush were great. Every piece that failed was on the local level. Every Burro, Township, Town, City, County & State has & had been told that they need to be self sufficient for at least three to five days until a Federal response can be mobilized. America is big, it takes time to get things from Pennsylvania to Louisiana. I know; I was in a HUMMVEE

Bush’s hands were largely tied by the Gov. of LA who refused to allow federal intervention & refused to allow National Guard troops from other States to offer aid. Farther more, units from LA Guard were not activated until well after the fact. The commander and chief of LA’s National Guard never ordered them to duty. She should have gone to jail.
