From TFA:
quote:
"We still live in an unsettled world. We want to make sure we can respond properly if there is a WMD (weapons of mass destruction) attack or another major storm."


...Well, he's sticking to message. In the wake of the hurricane, it's good to know our fearless Dear Leader knows to keep our attention on WMDs, too.

Ebbers is the guy who ran WorldCom and used it as his piggy bank.

First you whine because Bush isn't self-aware and therefore underevolved, and then you whine when he tries to do a little self-reflection.

"A little self-reflection"? I hope you're trying to be ironic, Sikander, 'cause otherwise you're either very dumb or very dishonest.

Based on the history of the administration so far, we can assume that the investigation will conclude that:

1) New Orleans had WMD
2) Okay, it didn't, but the British told us it did.
3) There was no systemic problem, just the actions of some "rogue water."
4) If an actual count of the dead ends up being higher than the rough estimate, such a count is unconstitutional.
5) Everyone responsible for this debacle will continue to be held responsible up until the very moment they are actually identified.
6) We're going to Mars!

I thought I was doing more than trying to be ironic.

Aside from the obvious problems with Bush investigating himself, is this a sign that he's also no good at delegating?

"The President's action authorizes the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), to coordinate all disaster relief efforts...in the parishes of Allen, Avoyelles, Beauregard, Bienville, Bossier, Caddo, Caldwell, Claiborne, Catahoula, Concordia, De Soto, East Baton Rouge, East Carroll, East Feliciana, Evangeline, Franklin, Grant, Jackson, LaSalle, Lincoln, Livingston, Madison, Morehouse, Natchitoches, Pointe Coupee, Ouachita, Rapides, Red River, Richland, Sabine, St. Helena, St. Landry, Tensas, Union, Vernon, Webster, West Carroll, West Feliciana, and Winn."

Conspicuous by their absence are Orleans, St. Bernard, St. Tammany, Plaquemines, Jefferson and basically every coastal parish, and the next parishes closest to the coast. So then, let me understand this: Team Bush saw by 26 August that Katrina would be sufficiently dangerous to warrant a preemptive disaster declaration for what looks like about 65-70% of the land area of Lousiana, and he declares it for the _landlocked_ parishes?
