I'd say the drastic mismanagement that got a lot of people killed unnecessarily was pretty extreme too, since, you know, their entire job is to prevent that.
This was a direct response to a statement about FEMA. FEMA had nothing to do with the evacuation or the deaths of "millions" of people. They just didn't as several others point out without rebuttal.
actually no it wasn't, it was a statement about how losing money wasn't the worst part of the katrina experience, since the inability to support recovery logistics for days afterwards didn't exist even with all the forwarning. And you're use of "millions" is pure hyperbole and another lame attempt to try and denegrate my post with something I never actually said or in any way implied.



Like I mentioned in the previous post, saying (multiple) times that I blamed the entire thing on bush (when I only actually blamed him for putting an idiot in charge) is another example of you putting words in my mouth and exaggerating claims. I did also say I think he could have done more, but that would also take extremely large assumptions to think I laid all the blame at his feet. Especially when I had already mentioned that the mayor, governor, and mr brown were partly responsible (so how could it all possibly be pinned on Bush?)


Assuming I'm a democrat cause I dared to say anything bad about Mr. GW. (not that I care, but while we're doing this retardedd exercise, it's another point).

or that they should have a civil engineer or logistics guy in charge of FEMA instead of some clueless crony.
This goes along the path of blaming FEMA for the actual deaths associated with the Hurricane. Unless of course you meant an engineer would have helped somehow manage the money doling out. I think you weren't meaning that though.
look at that, you're assuming I blamed FEMA for making the hurricane happen. What I actually said is, someone with a clue as to how to do his job should be put in charge. The people on the ground couldn't work cause the logistics were screwed up. Brown learned from a reporter things were bad. That's stupid, and he should have been in the loop and on top of what his organization was doing. I can't believe that got so misread, cause it seems pretty straight forward.

Blaming Bush or FEMA for the evacuation situation is like blaming Bush for the pothole in front of your house.
please show me where I said "the evacuation is all Bush's fault" cause I couldn't see it. You, once again, are assuming i'm blaming him for more than I actually am (which i've already described twice above now).


then you and cpayne went on to insist FEMA does NO PREPAREATION WORK AT ALL, which i've shown is completely untrue and has been for at least 3 years now (and in case someone is wondering, check wikipedia or fema's website for proof).


I did misspeak when I said FEMA should have taken over the evacuation, but you could of pointed that out without being a j*ck*ss about it. But if you want to say I have no clue, that's fine I guess, but since you didn't understand FEMA's actual role either, that means you're in the same boat (stones, glass house; pot, kettle, black; etc).
