Katrina Aftermath II

It's also naive, foolish or worse not to make the connection between the quagmire in Iraq and how it has depleted our ability to respond to these types of disasters here at home, in terms of both financial and human resources (Army Core of Engineers, National Guard, Louisiana flood control projects).

Emergency Preparedness? Yeah, right.
