Yet it took Dubya weeks. Odd, that.

Also odd that he managed to get a whole lot more aid to Mississippi and its Republican governor than to Louisiana and its Democrat governor. What part of “procedure” dictated that, I wonder?

Trust me, I know.

It is first and foremost the responsiblity of the local government to resolve a situation. If they need help, they call the state. If they STILL need help, they call the feds. In the wake of Katrina, people called outright for the feds and then called Bush a n00b for not helping in time. In reality, he was just following procedure.

I don’t even know how Nagin got reelected. Perhaps all the New Orleans residents who gave a flip were still in Houston draining their resources.

You notice no one is saying Oh we shouldn’t rebuild in Cedar Rapids because it’s on a flood plain.

Also, as I recall, the levees that failed in New Orleans collapsed because their foundations were not strong enough. Piling bags on a levee that is failing at its bottom isn’t going to do any good.

Most of the bagging sites in IA were either local or state sites. And providing the sacks and the sand, etc. Disaster Response Win.

Some levee’s broke added to the water cresting higher than planned, but those people did everything within their power to save their homes. And while the sandbagging didn’t keep water from getting in to their homes, (the water rose higher than expected) it did prevent the current from damaging their foundations, making their homes salvageable.

Nagan could learn a lesson or two from Iowa. http://www.press-citizen.com

Ray Nagin was mayor of New Orleans at the time and failed miserable in preparing his city for the coming onslaught.
