Debate:Was the shooting at Virginia Tech somehow President Bush's fault? (view source)

The federal government was not very efficent during the aftermath of Katrina, but as the size of the organization increases, the inefficiency decreases. Irresponsibly, however, must be laid at the feet of local and state government.
Why didn't Mayor Nagin have an effective evacuation plan in place? Why weren't the school buses used for evacuation, or at least moved to higher ground? Nagin failed badly, but in his defense I suppose one does grow complacent after awhile. A real leader would have accepted rsponsibility for his failure.
Now to the state level. I heard the telepnone call between Blanco and GW. Yes, she really did say "give me all you've got". That is terrible substitution for a documented request from her emergency coordinator. Why did she forbid the military from coming in for so long. Why was the state guard not on alert. Yeah, I heard the press say they were all in Iraq, but they dropped that line pretty quick. I'd like to know the real figures on what per cent were actually unavailible due to service in Irag. Blanco was either incompetent, playing poitics or both.
And does anyone really believe that a failed infrastucture, in an Democratic state which boasts (or at least used to) the most corrupt state government in the history in the US, is somehow GW's fault? If so, I'd like to hear the logic.
Not so much that the Bus was to blame for Katrina, but the bush family acted racist and irresponsibly after the event, and the government did very little to prevent it from becoming the huge disaster it was. Example, Bush said nobody knew the levys would break, but actualy, all that prevoius week it said they would. [[User:Delamancha|Delamancha]] 08:36, 30 October 2007 (EDT)
