New Orleans

This is a truly awful disaster. I can only echo Andrew Sullivans words:

"I have no confidence in this administration to deal with the kind of calamities that 9/11 proved we may have to deal with. After four years, they are still incompetent, unprepared, unable to have made the real changes that we need to have made. In the case of New Orleans, criminally negligent. People have died because of their inability to plan, to spend wisely, to set real priorities, to respond quickly. That goes for New Orleans. And it also applies to Iraq."

Listen here to the words of the New Orleans mayor. At the end of the interview he brakes down in tears. He explains the gastronomic cock-up that is the relief effort and the administrations reaction to the crisis.
