Commander in Chief.
The challenges that we face on the ground are unprecedented... But there's no doubt in my mind we're gonna succeed.
That was George W. Bush speaking today, not about Iraq, but about New Orleans. The man is optimistic, I'll give him that. If only he had the competence to back it up. I also saw the head of FEMA saying that they had done a simulation last year of the rescue efforts needed, were a category 5 hurricane to hit New Orleans. This is how FEMA responds when it's prepared for such an event? Christ, I don't want to know how poorly they'd respond if the disaster came as a complete surprise.
