[QUOTE]Originally posted by Kitty: [QB] Joe, you are right, you can't fixed the problem without knowing what went wrong, but we know what went wrong already. A Hurricane hit a city that was not prepared for a Category 5 Hurricane. Whether it was the levee breaking, people not being evacuated (whether by economic circumstances or plain stupidity), or a combination of a bunch of things, we know this is/was the problem. Pointing fingers at who's fault it is right now will not solve the problem, only prolong the efforts to get it under control. Do you seriously think that by pointing to one of three government officals who "screwed up" is needed to get the city unflooded and cleaned up? No. Blocking the levvy and pumping the water out so they can clean up the city is what's needed. Once again. Get over it, stop pointing fingers, and just fix the problem. Yes... in this case they are going to look back and say "what did we learn from this", but to my point before. We cannot plan for every possible disaster that might occur at some point in time. But hell, were American's, let's just blame the government since no one wants to take responsibility for not getting out, living in a flood plane, or pushing the government to enforce the levee which was already enforced once. Luke, as to the government doing nothing... That's complete bullshit. 1. It was the President who initiated the evacuation orders and fed. disaster declaration, not the other way around-- Governor Bianco herself admitted this! She didn't ask for help until it was too late, after the levee had broke and the city flooded. 2. New Orleans was classified as a disaster zone before the hurricane even hit. Navy and coastgard ships were following right behind the Hurricane to provide relief. They were helping before the red cross could even get mobilized after the storm. Sorry, but I wouldn't put my ass in front of a storm either. What good are you at saving anyone else if you are dead. 3. The city (who's responsibility it is) didn't even attempt to offer transportation for their poor during their initial evac process, which, ignore the pun, was piss poor in my opinion. Those are the majority of the people who we are trying to save now. If they would have been evacuated before the storm, things would not look so bad. The Fed can't come in until the Gov asks, which was, once again, after the levee broke. I'm not pointing fingers, I'm just unpointing a few of them. Overall, I think everyone needs to stop blaming and start fixing. Their is plenty of time for blame later. If you guys want to know about what went wrong and who to blame I just saw that Fox has a story at 5:00 ET tonight dsicussing just that if you are interested. [/QB][/QUOTE]
