Well, if the 06 or 08 debates focus on national security, here’s more proof that Republicans are incompetent in this field. A national report on Katrina response found huge failures at all levels of government. There were millions of dollars of waste, and what the was not reported in the article, many people remain displaced or in bad conditions. How can such a huge problem go on without a huge national response? We’ve seen money pledged, but not action. Bottom line: Republicans, in the administration, Michael Chertoff (secretary of Homeland Security), FEMA, all failed to protect our country. True; you can’t defend us from a hurricane. But you can warn, evacuate, and respond quickly and efficiently. Check out this weeks Top Ten Conservative Idiots at Democratic Underground for a little more on the response from Bush (Pictures included).
