Why is Honore saying that. He wasn't in charge until Thursday.
Edited on Sun Sep-04-05 12:42 PM by xultar
Right? When was Honore appointed?

That they were watching the storm since FL and preparing.

They didn't send people into the area because you don't pre position.

They couldn't position within 250 miles of the area.

Well we knew it was in the gulf by Friday. Why not send the USS Comfort down on Friday. IT coulda come up the rear.

I thought Honore was a straight shooter. Something doesn't track.

1. He's a forceful blusterer
His job is to get the press in line. Truth doesn't matter.

5. "we couldn't do any better" is the message I got.
He's an apologist for the administration.

14. Me, too. Had to wade thru several minutes of his earnestness
before what he was saying sunk in.

7. Because he's been told to cover the commander in chief's ass
that's why....and he follows orders, just as Colin Powell did, even if they don't like it.

10. Honore was the one thing Bush did on Tuesday when the Mayor
Edited on Sun Sep-04-05 01:05 PM by applegrove
begged him for help. And Honore knows that city. He can actually get things done. Problem is that there should have been 50 Honores on the ground on Monday morning. And when the mayor begged for an Honore - because nothing was functioning - Bush should have sent 50 like him.

But he only sent one!

12. We know that's not true about prepositioning. According to
Lt. Kelly in that BBC interview US Northern Command was pre positioning and waiting for the go order.

13. "You don't pre-po-si-shun in the eye of a storm....
...uh...cause it...uh....mite git...uh...DE-stroyed!"

Some folks on the board thought this guy was going to do a good job...sorry, but nobody remains at the upper levels of the military that has not sworn an oath of loyalty to Herr Busch and the NeCon Junta.

15. The Pentagon didn't take contol until Wednesday
But Rummie was too busy on vacation at a baseball game to bother assigning anything to anybody.


BTW: Who put the Pentagon in charge?
