IMHO they all share the responsibility for the lack of a plan and a lack of response.
Ditto - Beach Runner. There is enough personal responsibility to go around.

You are right about the levees SJ, but when was anyone going to ante up with Bush spending a billion plus a week for the circle-jerk Iraq war. One month in Iraq would pay to upgrade the levees. NO is a one of a kind situation. Unless your going to start berming all major coastal cities. Andrew just missed the heart of Miami, and Hugo went just to the north of Charleston SC. Sooner or later, another major city is going to get smacked hard.

The problems in NO have been around alot longer than the Iraq war. A close look at our Federal Budget would find lots of spending on ridiculous programs -money that could have been used to fix the levees. I don't share your view on the Iraq war but that is probably a discussion for another thread.

It would be a great debate, because hindsight is clearest.

What do you think of Michael Brown's resignation today? Will this action make him the scapegoat for the failure of the rescue and recovery process? Just wanted to hear your thoughts.

:clap_1: :clap_1: :clap_1: Wonder if he'll go back, to Horse Duties? Hopefully, this new man will have more spine! Wow, I just knew the first time that I saw him on TV, that he wasn't a very strong man! I can generally spot them, from a mile away! :dunno: :dunno: :dunno: I qualified that by saying "generally"! We've all had some nightmares :bang: :bang: :bang: , unfortunately! Hmm... :lolabove: I think that's why I've chosen not to date, for over a year! Though, this board and the seemingly interesting men on it, give me hope! :clap_1: :clap_1: :clap_1: This board and the people on it are fun interaction, without the CRAP! :welcome: :clap_1: :welcome: :clap_1:
