He is.........and I still don't know who is responsible for the fact that help came so late...?



Troops from Iraq? I wonder what's worse.......being forced to stay in a country where your life is endangered all the time? or having to protect an area after a hurricane like this, thousands of dead bodies everywhere, the smell..............

If I am correct, it is the Governer of Louisiana who's responsable for the coordination of the help in his state. (To the US'ens, correct me if I'm wrong)
But whoever may be responsable, he didn't do what he was supposed to do, and that was providing aid to the inhabitants of N.O.

And I have to say, you hear more complaints from N.O. than from Biloxi (Mississippi) Apparently the governer there knew what to do.

(Again, correct me if I'm wrong)

Funding to reinforce the flood walls was cut by the Bush administration. The war in Iraq costs $177.000.000 per day. Relate to that.

Yep, and now he ordered an investigation because he wants to know why it took so long before there was any help.

It's gonna be a Katrina-gate. (hopefully he's to step down, and new elections are organized. So there'll be a much better President (of the US)

I'll have to ask my nephuws(?) to vote. (although they live in Belgium, they are both born in the US)

Ironically, the final nail in Dubya's coffin will be the rising price of petrol. Now that everyone and their aunts drive SUVs, this will be too much to bear. Sad, really.
