But instead, all these buses now sit in 6 feet of water, wasted, useless, and leaking tons of diesel fuel. What say ye Mr. Mayor? Mr. Jesse Jackson? Anyone? [/qb][/QUOTE]i will admit that is an awesome find, iron,, send that to msnbc, cnn and fox... and I dont have any response to that,, im really speechless on this one,,all I can say is that i hate politics [/qb][/QUOTE]Finally, a voice of reason amongst the hating population :patriot: . The answer you're looking for is that there is no explanation. The Mayor fucked up and grossly underestimated the severity of this storm or didn't feel it was required to remove all of these people, not sure which one. Either way, he had a chance to minimize the loss of life and didn't. Now, he's sitting here pointing fingers to deflect critisism. The local government is the first thing citizens look to for help in a situation like this. Either he did nothing or couldn't do anything. I think a little of both. He did the exact OPPOSITE of what Mayor Guilianni did in NY after 9/11. Read my post before this one again and it'll explain more. [/QB][/QUOTE]
