The bodies are still in the water and already people are lusting to blame someone.

Aid wasn't even out fast enough, Buses weren't decoyed. Just like how the pre 9/11 information was disregarded, so was all the information about Katrina.

Was it the Federal Government's job to evacuate the city? Would it have been legal for the feds to order a forcible evacuation themselves? No and no.
And by the way, George Bush personally called the Governor before the storm and
asked her to implement a mandatory evacuation:

And not only that, he declared the area a federal disaster area before the hurricane hit, which is rare:

You might want to read that second one there, if you're so convinced that George Bush just twiddled his thumbs as the hurricane bore down on us.

See above.
Disaster relief is not like ordering a pizza, especially when roads and infrastructure are wiped out.

While Bush is posing for photo Ops when people are starving. We can drop food to the Iraqi families but not too poor black families ?

So do you want to just fly over the flooded city shoving pallets of MRE's out of the back of a C-130 and hope they land near the right people?

Bush was where when this happen ? Fucking Vacation again! Yeah. I am sure heads are going to roll for this but its little too late to be firing people when the damage is done.

Here you are talking to people around the world on the internet. Do you seriously believe that the president of the United States doesn't have the ability to communicate with his subordinates from his home?

Bush has exploited all the people that died in 9/11 for a cause of War. 9/11 had nothing to do with Iraq.

Not directly, but that's a different subject.

Nobody said that.

Maybe The Hitler comment is... little to much, but not in my eyes.

Your Hitler comment is a staggering insult to everyone who suffered through Hitler's horror. The closest parallels to Hitler today times are people like Saddam Hussein and Slobodan Molosevic, both of whom the US helped bring down.
Quote:
We only see the damage that is present, the future toll will prove much greater. Trust me

And what about the toll that Saddam Hussein would have exacted? And what about the economic sanctions, which would have remained in place?

If Kerry was in office, all I know is that we wouldn't be in a unjust war. Would New Orleans look different ? We won't know.

You think Kerry would have pulled out of Iraq by now? I doubt that. That would be the biggest mistake we could make and he knows it, rhetoric aside.
And if Kerry was president, and he was acting as George Bush is in response to the hurricane, I would be defending him too. As General Honore said recently, "If we're stuck on blame, then we're stuck on stupid."
