FEMA Chief Sent Help Only After Storm Hit
By TED BRIDIS, Associated Press WriterWed Sep 7,11:48 AM ET
The top U.S. disaster official waited hours after Hurricane Katrina
struck the Gulf Coast before he proposed to his boss sending at least
1,000 Homeland Security workers into the region to support rescuers,
internal documents show.
Part of the mission, according to the documents obtained by The
Associated Press, was to "convey a positive image" about the
government's response for victims.
Acknowledging that such a move would take two days, Michael Brown,
director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, sought the
approval from Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff roughly
five hours after Katrina made landfall on Aug. 29.
Before then, FEMA had positioned smaller rescue and communications
teams across the Gulf Coast. But officials acknowledged the first
department-wide appeal for help came only as the storm raged.
Brown's memo to Chertoff described Katrina as "this near catastrophic
event" but otherwise lacked any urgent language. The memo politely
ended, "Thank you for your consideration in helping us to meet our
responsibilities."
The initial responses of the government and Brown came under
escalating criticism as the breadth of destruction and death grew.
President Bush and Congress on Tuesday pledged separate investigations
into the federal response to Katrina. "Governments at all levels
failed," said Sen. Susan Collins (news, bio, voting record), R-Maine.
Aid from Canada three warships and a coast guard ship departed for
the Gulf Coast on Thursday, more than one week after Canada first
offered to send military support. Ottawa has been careful not to
criticize the slow U.S. response and simply repeated their willingness
to help when Washington finally accepted its offer of assistance.
Several Sea King helicopters and about 1,000 personnel were aboard the
Canadian ships, which will take several days to arrive off Louisiana.
The ships were loaded with medical supplies, 1,200 cots, body bags,
assault boats, lumber, pollution cleanup equipment even diapers,
baby wipes and teddy bears.
Navy divers were also dispatched to New Orleans from Halifax and
British Columbia to inspect damaged levees and help U.S. officials
clear navigational hazards.
In the U.S., Homeland Security spokesman Russ Knocke said Brown had
positioned front-line rescue teams and Coast Guard helicopters before
the storm. Brown's memo on Aug. 29 aimed to assemble the necessary
federal work force to support the rescues, establish communications,
and coordinate with victims and community groups, Knocke said.
Instead of rescuing people or recovering bodies, these employees would
focus on helping victims find the help they needed, he said.
"There will be plenty of time to assess what worked and what didn't
work," Knocke said. "Clearly there will be time for blame to be
assigned and to learn from some of the successful efforts."
Brown's memo told employees that among their duties, they would be
expected to "convey a positive image of disaster operations to
government officials, community organizations and the general public."
"FEMA response and recovery operations are a top priority of the
department and as we know, one of yours," Brown wrote Chertoff. He
proposed sending 1,000 Homeland Security Department employees within
48 hours and 2,000 within seven days.
Knocke said the 48-hour period indicated for the Homeland employees
was to ensure they had adequate training. "They were training to help
the lifesavers," Knocke said.
Employees required a supervisor's approval and at least 24 hours of
disaster training in Maryland, Florida or Georgia. "You must be
physically able to work in a disaster area without refrigeration for
medications and have the ability to work in the outdoors all day,"
Brown wrote.
The same day Brown wrote Chertoff, Brown also urged local fire and
rescue departments outside Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi not to
send trucks or emergency workers into disaster areas without an
explicit request for help from state or local governments. Brown said
it was vital to coordinate fire and rescue efforts.
Sen. Barbara Mikulski (news, bio, voting record), D-Md., said Tuesday
that Brown should resign.

Once again, Bush's regime has failed in its mission.
Dead, bloated, black corpses don't convey a positive image about anything.
Or white corpses. But then ShrubCo doesn't give a damn about anything
other than power and increasing his stock portfolio.

FEMA can move in under any one of several circumstances, without being

order it, with sign-off from the Attorney General. They didn't need the

An Unnatural Disaster: A Hurricane Exposes the Man-Made Disaster of
the Welfare State
Robert Tracinski
It has taken four long days for state and federal officials to figure
out how to deal with the disaster in New Orleans. I can't blame them,
because it has also taken me four long days to figure out what is
going on there. The reason is that the events there make no sense if
you think that we are confronting a natural disaster. If this is just
a natural disaster, the response for public officials is obvious: you
bring in food, water, and doctors; you send transportation to evacuate
refugees to temporary shelters; you sendengineers to stop the flooding
and rebuild the city's infrastructure.
For journalists, natural disasters also have a familiar pattern: the
heroism of ordinary people pulling together to survive; the hard work
and dedication of doctors, nurses, and rescue workers; the steps being
taken to clean up and rebuild.
Public officials did not expect that the first thing they would have
to do is to send thousands of armed troops in armored vehicle, as if
they are suppressing an enemy insurgency. And journalists--myself
included--did not expect that the story would not be about rain, wind,
and flooding, but about rape, murder, and looting.
But this is not a natural disaster. It is a man-made disaster.
The man-made disaster is not an inadequate or incompetent response by
federal relief agencies, and it was not directly caused by Hurricane
Katrina. This is where just about every newspaper and television
channel has gotten the story wrong.
The man-made disaster we are now witnessing in New Orleans did not
happen over the past four days. It happened over the past four
decades. Hurricane Katrina merely exposed it to public view.
The man-made disaster is the welfare state.
For the past few days, I have found the news from New Orleans to be
confusing. People were not behaving as you would expect them to behave
in an emergency--indeed, they were not behaving as they have behaved
in other emergencies.
That is what has shocked so many people: they have been saying that
this is not what we expect from America. In fact, it is not even what
we expect from a Third World country.
When confronted with a disaster, people usually rise to the occasion.
They work together to rescue people in danger, and they spontaneously
organize to keep order and solve problems. This is especially true in
America. We are an enterprising people, used to relying on our own
initiative rather than waiting around for the government to take care
of us.
I have seen this a hundred times, in small examples (a small town
whose main traffic light had gone out, causing ordinary citizens to
get out of their cars and serve as impromptu traffic cops, directing
cars through the intersection) and large ones (the spontaneous
response of New Yorkers to September 11).
So what explains the chaos in New Orleans?
To give you an idea of the magnitude of what is going on, here is a
description from a Washington Times story:
"Storm victims are raped and beaten; fights erupt with flying fists,
knives and guns; fires are breaking out; corpses litter the streets;
and police and rescue helicopters are repeatedly fired on.
"The plea from Mayor C. Ray Nagin came even as National Guardsmen
poured in to restore order and stop the looting, carjackings and
gunfire....
"Last night, Gov. Kathleen Babineaux Blanco said 300 Iraq-hardened
Arkansas National Guard members were inside New Orleans with
shoot-to-kill orders.
"'These troops are...under my orders to restore order in the streets,'
she said. 'They have M-16s, and they are locked and loaded. These
troops know how to shoot and kill and they are more than willing to do
so if necessary and I expect they will.' "
The reference to Iraq is eerie. The photo that accompanies this
article shows National Guard troops, with rifles and armored vests,
riding on an armored vehicle through trash-strewn streets lined by a
rabble of squalid, listless people, one of whom appears to be yelling
at them. It looks exactly like a scene from Sadr City in Baghdad.
What explains bands of thugs using a natural disaster as an excuse for
an orgy of looting, armed robbery, and rape? What causes unruly mobs
to storm the very buses that have arrived to evacuate them, causing
the drivers to drive away, frightened for their lives? What causes
people to attack the doctors trying to treat patients at the Super
Dome? Why are people responding to natural destruction by causing
further destruction? Why are they attacking the people who are trying
to help them?
My wife, Sherri, figured it out first, and she figured it out on a
sense-of-life level. While watching the coverage last night on Fox
News Channel, she told me that she was getting a familiar feeling. She
studied architecture at the Illinois Institute of Chicago, which is
located in the South Side of Chicago just blocks away from the Robert
Taylor Homes, one of the largest high-rise public housing projects in
America. "The projects," as they were known, were infamous for
uncontrollable crime and irremediable squalor. (They have since,
mercifully, been demolished.)
What Sherri was getting from last night's television coverage was a
whiff of the sense of life of "the projects." Then the "crawl"--the
nformational phrases flashed at the bottom of the screen on most news
channels--gave some vital statistics to confirm this sense: 75% of the
residents of New Orleans had already evacuated before the hurricane,
and of the 300,000 or so who remained, a large number were from the
city's public housing projects.
Jack Wakeland then gave me an additional, crucial fact: early reports
from CNN and Fox indicated that the city had no plan for evacuating
all of the prisoners in the city's jails--so they just let many of
them loose. There is no doubt a significant overlap between these two
populations--that is, a large number of people in the jails used to
live in the housing projects, and vice versa.
There were many decent, innocent people trapped in New Orleans when
the deluge hit--but they were trapped alongside large numbers of
people from two groups: criminals--and wards of the welfare state,
people selected, over decades, for their lack of initiative and
self-induced helplessness. The welfare wards were a mass of sheep--on
whom the incompetent administration of New Orleans unleashed a pack of
wolves.
All of this is related, incidentally, to the apparent incompetence of
the city government, which failed to plan for a total evacuation of
the city, despite the knowledge that this might be necessary.
But in a city corrupted by the welfare state, the job of city
officials is to ensure the flow of handouts to welfare recipients and
patronage to political supporters--not to ensure a lawful, orderly
evacuation in case of emergency.
No one has really reported this story, as far as I can tell. In
fact, some are already actively distorting it, blaming President Bush,
for example, for failing to personally ensure that the Mayor of New
Orleans had drafted an adequate evacuation plan.
The worst example is an execrable piece from the Toronto Globe and
Mail, by a supercilious Canadian who blames the chaos on American
"individualism." But the truth is precisely the opposite: the chaos
was caused by a system that was the exact opposite of individualism.
What Hurricane Katrina exposed was the psychological consequences of
the welfare state.
What we consider "normal" behavior in an emergency is behavior that is
normal for people who have values and take the responsibility to
pursue and protect them. People with values respond to a disaster by
fighting against it and doing whatever it takes to overcome the
difficulties they face. They don't sit around and complain that the
government hasn't taken care of them. They don't use the chaos of a
disaster as an opportunity to prey on their fellow men.
But what about criminals and welfare parasites? Do they worry about
saving their houses and property? They don't, because they don't own
anything. Do they worry about what is going to happen to their
businesses or how they are going to make a living? They never worried
about those things before. Do they worry about crime and looting? But
living off of stolen wealth is a way of life for them.
The welfare state--and the brutish, uncivilized mentality it sustains
and encourages--is the man-made disaster that explains the moral
ugliness that has swamped New Orleans. And that is the story that no
one is reporting.

FACT:
quote from Scott McClellen, Whitehouse spokesman
MR. McCLELLAN: If you go back to that time period, we were in close
contact with governors and local officials. And if you recall, that
the request for -- and the disaster declaration is issued by the
President, but it comes at the request of the state. And that's why we
were consulting closely, and I think we mentioned this at the time,

time so that we could issue that disaster declaration.
Not to mention, that you obviously don't even know what socialism is.

FACT.
FACT:
quote from Scott McClellen, Whitehouse spokesman
MR. McCLELLAN: If you go back to that time period, we were in close
contact with governors and local officials. And if you recall, that
the request for -- and the disaster declaration is issued by the

Well, stupid socialist, the declaration that the Gov did issue was not
the one required to give FEMA the authority it needed to enter.

Frustrated and grieving, Mayor Ray Nagin on Sunday again ripped
the painfully slow response of state and federal
authorities to the plight of tens of thousands of
stranded New Orleanians in the days following
Hurricane Katrina, saying their inaction cost lives
and caused needless misery.
Nagin singled out Gov. Kathleen Blanco for criticism,
saying that the governor had asked for 24 hours to
think over a decision when time was a luxury that no
one, especially refugees, had.
When the president and the governor got here, I said,
'Mr. President, Madame Governor, you two have to get
in synch. If you don't, more people are going to die.
Blanco and Bush met privately at his insistence, Nagin
said, after which Bush came out and told Nagin that he
had given Blanco two options, and she requested a full
day to decide.
It would have been great if we could have walked off
Air Force One and told the world we had it all worked
out, Nagin said. It didn't happen, and more people
died.

Interestingly enough, I saw that exact interview - with a headline
that stated that Nagin singled out Bush for criticism.
In the interview, Nagin specifically said Bush told him were the two
options, but he didn't remember what they were. He did not say that
the Govenor had not given authority for FEMA to come in. He said that
President Bush would not go ahead and give help to all those dying
people without a decision from the Govenor on those two options.
Nagin did not say Bush could not, just that he would not. The white
house admitted Bush had proper authority as of the Friday before.
Sounds to me, like Bush was pushing something stupid and cost people
their lives. And this after he declared that he would not let
beauracy stand in his way of helping people. If it wasn't beauracy,
then it must have been Bush's ego getting in the way.

Dotting the i's and crossing the t's and such.

I guess SHE didn't want to give up her share of the graft.
So wave around a bunch of rumors and wait.
Investigations?

Were you watching CNN? Big surprise. The Communist News Network has
been pushing the socialist agenda. After this disaster runs a few
weeks, their viewership will decline again.
Maybe Time-Warner will shut them down to stem the loss of money.

What else did Nagin "not" say? Did he not say survivors were being
airlifted by unicorns? Did Nagin "not" say Cuba was bringing 100,000
nubian slaves to enforce his "mandatory/non-mandatory" evacuation?
Sounds to me,
Who cares what a Bush-hater says? You are obviously lying.

Everytime you promise proof sometime in the future, you fall flat.
Taking you and your idiot president on your words of honor is a foolish
thing to do.
For a week, people have been dying in refugee camps across the southern US.
Now, pictures of the victims are being censored - just so you don't have to
see the consequences of Bush's failure.
No more proof than that is needed to show that Bush has shown sloppy,
ineffective leadership... where it counts.

Gov. Katheen Blanco stopped the Red Cross from bringing food
and water to Superdome
http://www.redcross.org/faq/0,1096,0_682_4524,00.html#4524
It appears that New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin's manic hysterical
rants should have been directed at his own governor Blanco!
The Red Cross is confirming to Major Garrett of Fox News that
it had prepositioned water, food, blankets and hygiene products
for delivery to the Superdome and the Convention Center in the
immediate aftermath of the hurricane,
but were blocked from delivering those supplies by orders of the
Louisiana state government, which did not want to attract people
to the Superdome and/or Convention Center.
Garrett has no paper trail yet, but will follow up on his verbal
confirmation from sources at the highest levels of the Red Cross.
Hugh Hewitt interviewed Garrett after he broke the story.
Transcript here

http://www.radioblogger.com/
The Red Cross backs up Garrett's story on their website here
http://www.redcross.org/faq/0,1096,0_682_4524,00.html#4524
"...The 'STATE' (of Louisiana) Homeland Security
Department had requested--and continues to request--
that the American Red Cross NOT come back into New
Orleans following the hurricane.
Our presence would keep people from evacuating and
encourage others to come into the city..."

in the Gulf of Mexico when Katrina came roaring ashore. The Bataan
rode out the storm and then followed it toward shore, awaiting relief

hospital facilities, including six operating rooms and beds for 600
patients, are empty." [Chicago Tribune

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/blog/2005/09/01/BL2005090100915.html
]
CONDOLEEZZA RICE VISITS U.S. OPEN: "Rice, [in New York] on three days'
vacation to shop and see the U.S. Open, hitting some balls with retired
champ Monica Seles at the Indoor Tennis Club at Grand Central." [New
York Post http://www.nypost.com/gossip/52748.htm ]
STILL NO COMMAND AND CONTROL ESTABLISHED: Terry Ebbert, New Orleans
Homeland Security Director: "This is a national emergency. This is a
national disgrace. FEMA has been here three days, yet there is no
command and control. We can send massive amounts of aid to tsunami
victims, but we can't bail out the city of New Orleans." [Fox News
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,168112,00.html ]
2PM - MAYOR NAGIN ISSUES "DESPERATE SOS" TO FEDERAL GOVERNMENT: "This
is a desperate SOS. Right now we are out of resources at the convention
centre and don't anticipate enough buses. We need buses. Currently
the convention centre is unsanitary and unsafe and we're running out
of supplies." [Guardian, 9/2/05
http://www.guardian.co.uk/katrina/story/0,16441,1561314,00.html ]
2PM - MICHAEL BROWN CLAIMS NOT TO HAVE HEARD OF REPORTS OF VIOLENCE:
"I've had no reports of unrest, if the connotation of the word unrest
means that people are beginning to riot, or you know, they're banging
on walls and screaming and hollering or burning tires or whatever. I've
had no reports of that." [CNN
http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/09/02/katrina.response/index.html ]
NEW ORLEANS "DESCEND[S] INTO ANARCHY": "Storm victims were raped and
beaten, fights and fires broke out, corpses lay out in the open, and
rescue helicopters and law enforcement officers were shot at as
flooded-out New Orleans descended into anarchy Thursday. 'This is a
desperate SOS,' the mayor said." [AP
http://customwire.ap.org/dynamic/stories/H/HURRICANE_KATRINA?SITE=1010WINS&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2005-09-01-17-08-53
]
CONDOLEEZZA RICE GOES SHOE SHOPPING: "Just moments ago at the Ferragamo
on 5th Avenue, Condoleeza Rice was seen spending several thousands of
dollars on some nice, new shoes (we've confirmed this, so her new
heels will surely get coverage from the WaPo's Robin Givhan). A
fellow shopper, unable to fathom the absurdity of Rice's timing, went
up to the Secretary and reportedly shouted, 'How dare you shop for
shoes while thousands are dying and homeless!'" [Gawker
http://www.gawker.com/news/condoleezza-rice/index.php#breaking-condi-rice-spends-salary-on-shoes-123467
]
MICHAEL BROWN FINALLY LEARNS OF EVACUEES IN CONVENTION CENTER: "We
learned about that (Thursday), so I have directed that we have all
available resources to get that convention center to make sure that
they have the food and water and medical care that they need." [CNN
http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/09/02/katrina.response/index.html ]
On Friday, September 2, these events happened...
ROVE-LED CAMPAIGN TO BLAME LOCAL OFFICIALS BEGINS: "Under the command
of President Bush's two senior political advisers, the White House
rolled out a plan...to contain the political damage from the
administration's response to Hurricane Katrina." President Bush's
comments from the Rose Garden Friday morning formed "the start of this
campaign." [New York Times, 9/5/05
http://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/05/national/nationalspecial/05bush.html?adxnnl=1&adxnnlx=1126202579-tu0VOjRhyUzqFKNZiuYymw
]
9:35AM - BUSH PRAISES MICHAEL BROWN: "Brownie, you're doing a heck
of a job." [White House, 9/2/05
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2005/09/20050902-2.html ]
10 AM - PRESIDENT BUSH STAGES PHOTO-OP "BRIEFING": Coast Guard
helicopters and crew diverted to act as backdrop for President Bush's
photo-op.
BUSH VISIT GROUNDS FOOD AID: "Three tons of food ready for delivery
by air to refugees in St. Bernard Parish and on Algiers Point sat on
the Crescent City Connection bridge Friday afternoon as air traffic was
halted because of President Bush's visit to New Orleans, officials
said." [Times-Picayune
http://www.nola.com/weblogs/print.ssf?/mtlogs/nola_Times-Picayune/archives/print076556.html
]
LEVEE REPAIR WORK ORCHESTRATED FOR PRESIDENT'S VISIT: Sen. Mary
Landrieu, 9/3: "Touring this critical site yesterday with the
President, I saw what I believed to be a real and significant effort to
get a handle on a major cause of this catastrophe. Flying over this
critical spot again this morning, less than 24 hours later, it became
apparent that yesterday we witnessed a hastily prepared stage set for a
Presidential photo opportunity; and the desperately needed resources we
saw were this morning reduced to a single, lonely piece of
equipment." [Sen. Mary Landrieu
http://bellaciao.org/en/article.php3?id_article=8040 ]
BUSH USES 50 FIREFIGHTERS AS PROPS IN DISASTER AREA PHOTO-OP: A group
of 1,000 firefighters convened in Atlanta to volunteer with the Katrina
relief efforts. Of those, "a team of 50 Monday morning quickly was
ushered onto a flight headed for Louisiana. The crew's first
assignment: to stand beside President Bush as he tours devastated
areas." [Salt Lake Tribune; Reuters
http://www.sltrib.com/utah/ci_3004197 ]
3PM - BUSH "SATISFIED WITH THE RESPONSE": "I am satisfied with
the response. I am not satisfied with all the results." [AP]
On Saturday, September 3, these events happened...
SENIOR BUSH ADMINISTRATION OFFICIAL LIES TO WASHINGTON POST, CLAIMS
GOV. BLANCO NEVER DECLARED STATE OF EMERGENCY: The Post reported in
their Sunday edition "As of Saturday, Blanco still had not declared a
state of emergency, the senior Bush official said." They were forced to
issue a correction hours later. [Washington Post, 9/4/05
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/09/03/AR2005090301680.html
]
9AM - BUSH BLAMES STATE AND LOCAL OFFICIALS: "[T]he magnitude of
responding to a crisis over a disaster area that is larger than the
size of Great Britain has created tremendous problems that have
strained state and local capabilities. The result is that many of our
citizens simply are not getting the help they need." [White House,
9/3/05 http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2005/09/20050903.html ]
