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?

You have to remember that a lot of the people COULDN'T evacuate because they were handicapped or had no automobile to actually get out.

Then what are all of those parked cars we see in the news? And wasn't there bus service? Honestly, if I was a handicapped person, and I knew a category 5 hurricane was coming my way, I'd make sure that I got out while the sun was still shining.

I think it's unfair to say that the disabled people could've gotten out, when you don't really know every single person's living situation looking in from the outside. I believe there was a man that was interviewed while he was inside the convention center and he said that there was no public transportation provided for the people that couldn't get out.

i believe that it's better to be safe than sorry as much as you even more so. you know, if i had thought it would be this severe when the warnings came up, i'd get my ass and my family out of there in ONE day without waiting to hear from the government. my family has done that before when warnings about el nino came up in california years ago. the fact is that people there didn't think that it would be a big deal, so they stayed. the people believed that and so did the government. government is made up of people. do you see where i'm going with this?


But you see, my problem and concern is that if THIS is the way that the government acts when there's a hurricane, how prepared are they going to be if there's anothre terrorist attack? it's scary.
