Help Lizard Breath Save Bush from Hurricane Katrina

Tal you said:Bush declared the emergency before Katrina hit, but can’t intervene until the Governor asks.Please tell me what she is doing in this letter to Bush two days before landfall.404Pay attention to this part of the letter.Pursuant to 44 CFR 206.35, I have determined that this incident is of such severity and magnitude that effective response is beyond the capabilities of the State and affected local governments, and that supplementary Federal assistance is necessary to save lives, protect property, public health, and safety, or to lessen or avert the threat of a disaster. I am specifically requesting emergency protective measures, direct Federal Assistance, Individual and Household Program (IHP) assistance, Special Needs Program assistance, and debris removal.“supplementary Federal assistance is necessary to save lives.” is a broad statement and can have different meanings, like what do you need, how much, and when. It is pretty vague, but it could mean “Intervene right now with everything you’ve got to help evacuate people and rescue survivors after the fact.”In time we will find out what she asked for, but she asked Bush for something. I think it was immediate intervention.Edit: Changed recover survivors to rescue survivorsThis message has been edited by Peal, 09-08-2005 04:18 PM

For those of you that are interested, this is the timeline for Hurricane Katrina.
Bush Button NewsHannity and Limbaugh were both saying that Louisiana state homeland security officials blocked the Red Cross
from entering into New Orleans and this prevented them from helping the victims of the hurricane. The link below shows what really happened and why. They spin half truths and people buy it as fact.
