VMC SURVEY BOARD

Nagin said on TV the other nite that when he and the governor and president were on AF One, they were discussing what to do, and Bush supposedly said he could order troops in now, but govornor said something like "give us 24 more hours", so she will probably get some bigtime blame down the road.

Despite my own sentiments, Bush is not the only boob involved in this screw-up. Turf issues and questions over whether to just use National Guard or bring in the Regular Army seem to have cost many lives that could have been saved with a faster response.

It's a true tragedy; we will eventually know what should have been done better, but only too late, that is, when the investigations are complete.
