1) bush called the Gov. and Mayor on Friday, urging them to take action, and they failed to do so. 2)It took the Gov a couple of days to call the feds for help, that she should have called sooner, the feds don't just get up and go, also the Gov would not go for the NG being under fed control, she was playing politics, and on a power trip. 3) The city had a pre incident plan and didn't follow it, which was the main cause for the loss of life, and so many un evacuated people. 4)fema and the feds say in pre incident plans, that cities are on their own for 72 hours, the cities are supposed to make provisions ie.. water, food, and shelter,for that amont of time, the city didn't do that. 5) That the guard and fema were ready to enter the city and give relief to the people at the convention center and superdome, but they were stopped by NO officials who didn't want the people fed or given water there, because they were afraid they would stay and they wanted them to leave. 6) Spike left this out of his movie, and is trying to rewrite history with his own agenda
These are not my opinions, these are things I have actually heard them say. I also heard these statements made in incident debriefings from fema people(freepers) after we returned from Gulfport. I was there for 7 days working with a task force of first responders sent by our city on fema's request. fema will tell you all went smooth in every area except NO, and that it was all the fault of NO and State officials. Regardless of any of the above, the response after the initial event was over, and "the rebuilding" started, the government and fema's response and treatment are an absolute disgrace and shameful, add to that the insuarnce companies actions ( who have bush in their pockets), and the whole treatment is almost evil. Again, you asked what are they saying, or what have they said. This is what they have said and the same BS they will continue to say. Not me, I'm not in a get flamed mood today, our baby has an ear ache, he is sleeping now, so I want to enjoy some reading, maybe a post or two, I don't want to explain 100 times that these responses are not mine. Thanks AC
