is bush at fault? Options

[*tweeak*]

to begin with, i'd like to point out that I do not support Bush. However, I cannot understand why people are blaming him for Katrina, just because he has troops in Iraq. It seems like a lame excuse to protest the war and find a scapegoat for the hurricane

so, do you think Bush is at fault for part of the Katrina ordeal?

[*xcaitlinx*]

Of course he was. The government freakin knew that there was going to be a hurricane that fell under catergory 3, and that it had the potential to become a catergory 4 or even 5.

i don't UNDERSTAND why louisiana, alabama, and mississippi didn't have state and federal troops ready BEFORE the hurricane hit so that they could deal with the problem and have a PLAN.

clearly, bush slacked off and was unprepared. he won't admit that there is a lack of troops in the south because they're all stationed in IRAQ. speaking of which, maybe some of you saw on good morning america when diane sawyer asked about this situation and guess what his answer was? "commercial break". yep. he DIDN'T EVEN ANSWER WHY THERE'S A LACK OF FEDERAL TROOPS BECAUSE HE KNEW DAMN WELL THAT THEY WERE ALL IN IRAQ.

to be quite honest, i still can't believe this is happening. like i've said, only in america, under the power of george w. bush, would something like this get so out of hand that people are looting gun stores, looting houses, DYING IN THE STREETS, KILLING AND RAPING people, and leaving corpses to be eaten by rats. it makes me absolutely sick to my stomach and depressed to watch cnn and see cooper anderson<3 crying....as the f**king politicians are literally THANKING eachother and saying how much of a tremendous job they are doing as peoples' corpses are LYING ON THE STREETS and PEOPLE ARE STARVING TO DEATH.

where am i?

Okay, I'm just wondering, where are all these federal troops and extra police and military personell going to come from? Last time I checked, Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi are states, and it would take more than a couple hundred thousand troops to make a visible difference.

Not to mention your point about all the troops being in Iraq. The police of states didn't go anywhere, the army reserve did. We're in a war, by the way, and we can't just pull out. It doesn't work that way.
