Yea, but Bush told them to evacuate the city 2 days before the storm hit,
at the same time he preemptively declared the city and region a disaster
area so the Governor could get faster action when she asked for it, *if*
she asked for it ...

Regardless, as I said yesterday, now is not the time to be casting blame
around, plenty of time for that in a few months time when there is less
confusion and obfuscation about the facts, but I can assure you the bulk of
the carefully considered blame at that time will not be at the doorstep of
the White House.
