Were you here on this board during and after Hurricane Katrina? You never heard such screaming on this baord about "personal responsibility" as those stranded people stood in front of the Convention Center in New Orleans, bodies floating in the water, babies crying for food and water. According to many people on this board, it was their own fault. Those sick, elderly, pregnant, etc., people should have got out of town. They didn't specify how, of course, but it was their own fault that Mike Brown didn't get to them for days. But when it comes to the FBI not getting a warrant to search a possible terrorist's laptop, or Carl Rove outing a covert CIA agent, or FEMA allowing no telling how many Americans die, they don't utter a peep about responsibility. Not a single person has been held accountable for the mistakes in Iraq. Rumsfeld who said he expected the war to last no more than a few weeks is still SecDefense. Michael Bolton was promoted to UN Ambassador; Paul Wolfowitz is heading the World Bank; Bush gave George Tenent the Presidential Medal of Freedom! The highest civilian award possible! Mike Brown, FEMA, was not fired. He stayed on the payroll for seveal weeks and retired. Tommy Franks followed up a great battle plan by taking his headquarters, including linguists and intelligence people, to Florida, leaving the Americans in Iraq short of both specialities. Rove still sets at Bush's right hand, even as Bush demands an investigation into the leak about his secret wiretapping and ignores his earlier promise to fire anyone in the White House involved in Valarie Plame's outing. In my opinion, Bush has gone past the point of being "bad" to the point of being dangerous.
