It was the failure of (local and state) government that left those people in harm's way in New Orleans.There were people in New Orleans in 2005 DYING to hear: I'm from the Government...I'm here to help"
And the first people to utter the words I'm from the Government...I'm here to help" were from the RCMP...
The Royal CANADIAN Mounted Police, from Vancouver British Columbia...the far north west!
Not to mention the fact that they sat around WAITING for the government to "help", instead of getting off their dead asses and helping themselves.
ABC - Mayor Nagin & Gov. Blanco at Fault
There were lots of hurricanes & natural disasters during the Bush presidency & people came through them just fine. Only New Orleans failed miserably. Bush & DHS did their share of screwing up in New Orleans on Katrina, but Mayor Nagin & Gov. Blanco were the worst offenders. They blamed Bush for not sending enough busses.
CNN - Red Cross: State rebuffed relief efforts
- Louisiana officials rebuffed American Red Cross requests to enter New Orleans with relief supplies last week because of concerns over logistical difficulties, Red Cross and state officials said
- Colonel Jay Mayeaux appearing at the news conference with Howell, said he had asked the Red Cross to wait 24 hours for conditions to be "set" for the operation.
- Vic Howell, chief executive officer of Louisiana Capital Area Red Cross Chapter sais "We had adequate supplies, the people and the vehicles." "It was the middle of a military rescue operation trying to save lives. We were asked not to go in, and we abided by that recommendation."
- Due to the States request the Red Cross never launched its relief effort in the city.
