is bush at fault?

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?

Of course he's not at fault. How could he be? What? He's supposed to control the weather now? How quick some of you are to place blame for a natural disaster. Natural being the key word. It's unpredictable. Sure they knew about it but they didn't know exactly what would happen, exactly how it would turn out, they aren't f**king fortune tellers. Yes. The government knew ahead of time. I think there most likely would have been less deaths if people actually listened to the warnings and left their homes and left the states instead of thinking they could handle it. But did people? No. It was mandatory for them to leave. They obviously knew ahead of time too, it's not like it was some big secret. They had plenty of time to book it out of there. And about the looters and all the chaos. Honestly, what the hell do you expect? C'mon now, let's not be ignorant. Of course after a natural disaster like this there is going to be chaos and like others have said, it's our own f**ked up society's fault that people feel the need to go out and rape and steal. Why? Because we're selfish. And gas prices? We should be worried about more important things. Yeah, it is important. I know. I pay $60 to fill up my tank, I know what a big deal it is. But is it Bush's fault that the prices were basically forced to rise due to again, a natural disaster? Negative. It's not. People just feel like placing blame on someone. Why? This makes them feel more secure about their own position and whatever else. I mean, that's like blaming so and so because of the tsunami disaster. How completely ludicrous. This is like our own little version of the tsunamis yet when that was going on, who was blamed for it? It's normal for us to feel pity, sorrow, sympathy, whatever else but placing blame is unnecessary especially when the blame doesn't even fit. Instead of saying, "Bush sucks; it's all his fault" why not go and do something to help the people out there? It is definitely not his fault. And also, a little tip to people out there, don't believe 100% of everything you hear and see on the news. Even the news is biased and they show what they want and things like that. You aren't getting the whole complete truth so it's not fair to base all of your opinions just on what you see.
