NEW ORLEANS (Reuters) - Top officials from the Bush administration, smarting from criticism their slow response compounded the suffering from Hurricane Katrina, were touring the devastation on Sunday as storm survivors finished evacuating New Orleans.

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff planned to spend several days helping oversee relief efforts in New Orleans, where thousands are believed dead from floodwaters that breached protective levees after Katrina struck on Monday.

Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld also planned to visit the city, while Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was touring the Mobile, Alabama, area, in her native state.

President George W. Bush, who in a rare admission of error, conceded on Friday that the results of his administration's relief efforts were unacceptable, said he would send 7,200 more active-duty troops over three days.

1. RARE ADMISSION OF GUILT? All I heard Shrub say was " Efforts.

will not be thwarted by rioting"

[maddezmom]

2. headline is misleading...they are planning visits

haven't visited yet.

[Demeter]

3. If They Are Smart, They Won't Go

No amount of security could protect them from what's owing them.

[UpInArms]

11. only going after most of the poor folks of NO have been

evacuated.

:eyes:

[Demeter]

18. Or Drowned, Or Starved, Or Shot, or Neglected to Death

4. I think it's deliberately misleading...

Rumsfeld "planning" a visit, Condi in Mobile...

I just hope that the media keeps tacking on the "in response to criticism" line every time Bush or one of his goons "takes action."

:patriot:

[greekspeak]

5. The question on everyone's mind

Will they spin Condi's trip to the shoe store for Feragamos (spelling?) as part of her preperations for trip to Mobile? A lady needs some new pumps when she is going to town, after all. :eyes:

[andyarundel]

6. getting my mud Prados out of my shoes closet

Then maybe I will be in the same fashion curve as The Secretary of State

[greekspeak]

13. LOL...welcome to DU

:hi:

[symbolman]

7. SHIT!

My son is supposed to be flying out of Mobile Airport on Monday, if that Bucktoothed Laura Van Dyke haired, skank Traitor has the airport tied up with Security it'll cost me money, and make me miss my son..

Go to NO Rice, they used to serve "dirty Rice" there, tho she's a little stringy, with a little ketsup someone might be able to choke her down :)

[tanyev]

8. If you see Condi, compliment her shoes.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

9. How about 7,200 pallets of food and water?

[soupkitchen]

10. Rice's review "Funnier than Spamalot"

[baldguy]

12. Don't get those new shoes wet, Condi.

[donsu]

16. I hope she breaks a sweat - has sweat rolling down between her

breast

[0007]

14. All of junior's bungling, clumsy and incompetent political appointments

are coming home to roost.

I don't think I can even watch that whore Tim Russert interview that lying smelling stupid son of a bitch, Chertoff, on "Meet The Press", this morning, I'm so pissed.

[Mnemosyne]

15. I still don't understand why Rummy would

be going to LA.

[amandabeech]

19. He's already been there with Gen. Myers.

He's looking out for the military mission. And I don't think that it will be delivering food.

[BiggJawn]

20. He heard there's Devastation and Death there

And Rumsferatu is looking for a new experience in masturbation, since the videos of shredded Iraqi chlidren doesn't put the lead in his pencil like it used to....

17. Rumsfeld has no heart

' Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld toured a medical facility at New Orleans' international airport on Sunday. He spoke and shook hands with military and rescue officials but walked right by a dozen refugees lying on stretchers just feet away from him, most of them extremely sick or handicapped.'
