1. That's why Kerry's "a Katrina foreign policy" needs repeating.
Over and over and over and over and over.....

3. I was reminded of Katrina anew
when my husband and I visited the Gulf Coast between New Orleans and Biloxi in early October. I was stunned by the lack of progress being made down there and very moved by the stories of two DUer survivors I met, Merh and HeeBGBz, a relief worker InTheFlow. Some photos I took are here...

It's good to be reminded of the administration's failures here.

14. There are a couple new books coming out next spring
On the Katrina nightmare. One focuses on the screwups coming from Homeland Security. One little tidbit in the prepub review that bowled me over was the fact that an airlift effort was postponed because DHS was insisting on screening every person and refused to do anything until x-ray equipment could be delivered and installed.

15. They waited??? Poor excuse for people stranded and in need.
Bush could have over ridden this crap outta HOME SECURITY in 1 phonecall.

They didn't help on purpose.

11. K & R. Come on yall, let's recommend this one!
Thanks, OP, that didn't occur to me until I encountered this thread.

"he sez he didn't know because he doesn't watch tv"

I am EMBARRASSED by that remark, embarrassed for the US. It sounds so lame and stupid. If I heard the President or PM or King of another country say that, I'd think s/he was a complete moran(sic).

Of course, the Republican propaganda machine so-called MSM hasn't touched this one. Does anyone doubt that if Kerry had been president, they would be bleeting about this non-stop?
