The new GOP talking point is "there will be time enough to ask what went wrong. But now is not the time"
So when is the time? When the Karl Rove and the rest of the Administration is able to get it's story straight? When they figure out a way to blame it on liberals? No, we did that 4 years ago after 9/11. We went along for the sake of the country and look what it got us? (I don't mean us as Democrats I mean us as a nation.)
An out of control Administration that we are now discovering is grossly incompetent!
No, the time is now. We can do both. We can save the victims while asking what happened. The victims of this disaster and the country demand it!
In the last 5 years our country has had 3 bungled National security events.
- 9/11. This president was on vacation when he received the August 6 PDB. This President FAILED to act upon it. A month later 3000 Americans paid the price.
- Iraq War. This President acting upon FAULTY Intelligence launch our nation into war and has badly managed the execution of that war. From lack of armor to troops strength. We have no exit strategy and our military is now stretched to the limit.
- Katrina. This president AGAIN was on Vacation when he received more then enough warning to mobilize our nation, for what EVERYONE knew would be a major catastrophic event. Everyone knew what a class 5 Hurricane could do to New Orleans. Yet, he chooses to stay at Crawford and let his cronies run the Federal effort. At the cost of possibly THOUSANDS of dead Americans!
That's 3 strikes! At what point do we begin to question the competence of this President?
We cant afford to wait years down the line to wonder what happened? Our nation's security is LITERALLY at risk.
Katrina was a major event. A National security crisis and we have failed. This president who prides himself on being able to best protect us has failed again.
The time to ask questions is now.
