WASHINGTON (AP) -- Former disaster agency chief Michael Brown is indicating he is ready to reveal his correspondence with President Bush and other officials during Hurricane Katrina unless the White House forbids it and offers legal support.[/b]
he he . Can ya feel it folks ? A dam of republican sludge , of scum and filth ,little leaks everywhere, the little dutch boy plugs it with his thumb, some republicans kinda helped a bit but now the leaks are spurting everywhere, and they are running for the hills folks .
Of course those too dumb to clue in will defend their party over country like good little nazis, no names mentioned.
Not sure how his admissions will change anything. Disaster relief starts local and works its way up. The Feds are the only ones who got anything accomplished period (whileNagin and Blancoput their heads between their legs and gave up).

You beat me to it Aught. Oh, I keep forgetting Bush has a secret hurricane machine.
Now can some one tell me the difference in Texas and Nawlens???? Could it be the local government took actions in advance to insure the saftey of Houston as well as all the displaced people from New Orleans. Then came Fema, in the same manner as New Orleans. So Kiddies what have we learned? "You got to help yourself during the time it takes the feds to get there." Remember Fema has a 72 hour max response time in an emergancy and it is known by all local government. Even in my little podunk towns.

So, johnnyBgood, when are you and your loony lefty buddies goint to trot Nagin out for Senate or President or something equally foolish? After all, he did a stellar job and the whole fiasco was Bush's fault.
Now can some one tell me the difference in Texas and Nawlens????
Texas came second? Levee's didn't break in Texas? Storm surge wasn't as great in Texas? I don't think local officials had much to do with negating the effects of Hurricane Rita in comparison to Hurricane Katrina.

AndFEMA's response to Katrina after that72 hour response timewas just stellar.
If I were the White House I wouldn't worry about Brown "telling all", does anyone think the man really had a clue?

RE: Ex-FEMA chief: I may tell all about Katrina
I just had a thought. Lets put Kerry in Bushes place on this manner. First the hurrican would not have hit, because we all know it was concocted by Bush to kill the black man. But lets just, for a moment, consider the idea that the hurricane could hit while Kerry was in office:
Kerry would get a call that ahurricane hit New Orleans. He would thenpull Kennedy's hand from his butt so he could face him to ask what to do, Kennedy would simply say, "Awwww no sweat, go get drunk, kill someone, then pass out in a hotel so no one can find you. Then when you sober up, emerge as if nothing had happened. When they start tracing your calls, deny them to the end. Thenplace the blame on the people of New Orleans. We all know the city of New Orleans drove their own car into the eye of the storm. Don't worry Kerry old buddy, you can always spend the rest of your life in the Senate, drunk and obnoxious if it dont work out. Im living proof of that, so you have nothing to worry about, now pass the scotch".
That would be a much prettier picture.

Lol, responders don't negate the effects of the hurricane--they respond to them.
Plenty of people in Texas lost their homes and businesses, and shockingly few waited for a federal handout to get back on their feet.

What are you talking about? Until the feds showed up, New Orleans was worse than Fallujah and Detroit put together on any one day. FEMA did its job--by coordinating public and private relief agencies and addressing the needs of hurricane survivors.
Brown is trying to vindicate his name after being humiliated in public. Despite his own failures as FEMA chief, others around him answered the call and saved a lot of lives and hopes.

I knew someone would take the bait. You are right, Rita did come after Katrina but lets focuse on the differences.
As for Texas, yes there was a threat of flooding, ever heard of lake Livingston??? Why did it not flood? because the local officials opened the flood gates after the storm to releave the pressure. Even if it had breached, the people were in Dallas because of the evacuation demand. As for the storm surge, ever heard of the Galvaston sea walll. Why was it irrected? because ofa hurricane once before. New Orleans was funded to create a sea wall, but pissed away the money. My uncle was on the project when it got canned. Doesnt sound like very good local stewards. Also, The levees were not designed to handle a major storm. Agian local government dropped the ball. Not in the present, but from the past to the presence. Not very good managment there if you ask me.
Now for the fema response time, I have been on a city council. My father inlaw is our city judge, it is in print that fema explains it will take a
minimum of 48 hrs and a max of 72 hrs for them to respond. Local governments are required to have plans for the time laps. If I knewall that and livein small town Texas, Id suspect a major metropolis would have a little clue. [/align][/align]Now explain why so many school busses got flooded instead of on the highway full of people? Oh, I forgot, Bush forced the local government to pop the tires and put sugar in the gas tank.[/align]
