The outcry over FEMAs Katrina response was then and always will be purely political. FEMA was on the ground the day of the disaster in 4 states. They were in New Orleans as soon as they were able to be (you know...after the water receeded somewhat and people stopped shooting at relief workers. Jessie Jackson interviewed James Witt, Clintons FEMA director following Hurricane Andrew and was told Clintons FEMA couldnt engage for 28 days because of the remaining ground conditions and that response was deemed acceptable. But since FEMA couldnt un**** New Orleans after their Mayor Governors utter failure in 3 days liberals used yet another natural disaster to launch attacks against Bush. It worked, primarily because most people lack the will to truly examine anything beyond a 15 second sound bite.
