FEMA is the problem

Reports are everywhere that Fema, either due to supreme incompetence, or worse, is hampering rescue efforts, humanitarian help and firefighting. And after the feds took days to show up post Katrina they've entered the city like it was Fallujah.

1000 firefighters kept in Atlanta to hand out fliers - http://www.sltrib.com/ci_3004197

From Wayne Madsen: "Team Bush" still refusing international aid. Russian rescue crews on four cargo planes with helicopters on board sit idle at an airport near Moscow waiting for green light, Cuba has 1500 doctors with 26 tons of medical supplies and Bush is refusing them entry to U.S., Venezuelan disaster rescue teams wait for a "go," Dominican Republic crews with hurricane recovery experience wait and wait and wait. It's the same scene at airports around the world. Meanwhile, FEMA turned back 8 buses from Washington, DC that were to bring 400 evacuees to the DC Armory which has been stockpiled with just about every need. The Bush regime has finally reached the crescendo of evil.
And why is FEMA so incompetent? It was turned into a political patronage agency by Bush for Bush's campaign lickspittles. This from a disaster recovery specialist with inside contacts at FEMA

Fema turned away a rescue convoy - http://bellaciao.org/en/article.php3?id_article=8034

Fema waited until AFTER the storm hit - http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/090705Z.shtml

Preventable deaths continue - "Offers of foreign aid worth tens of millions of dollars -- including a Swedish water purification system, a German cellular telephone network and two Canadian rescue ships -- have been delayed for days awaiting review by backlogged federal agencies, according to European diplomats and information collected by the State Department.
Since Hurricane Katrina, more than 90 countries and international organizations offered to assist in recovery efforts for the flood-stricken region, but nearly all endeavors remained mired yesterday in bureaucratic entanglements, in most cases, at the Federal Emergency Management Agency."
