they played some of that on CNN - he was angry and righteously so. above and beyond all else, the response was the federal government's ball and they dropped it completely. from the
Dept. of Homeland Security website:

In the event of a terrorist attack, natural disaster or other large-scale emergency, the Department of Homeland Security will assume primary responsibility on March 1st for ensuring that emergency response professionals are prepared for any situation. This will entail providing a coordinated, comprehensive federal response to any large-scale crisis and mounting a swift and effective recovery effort.

some response. it's just astonishing that it apparently takes at least five days to put troops, in quantity, to a given point within the US. some Homeland security - we've been hearing nothing but 9/11 this, 9/11 that, 9/11 changed everything, yada yada for the last four years, but at the end of the day, the administration is apparently still unprepared.
edit: btw, where's Cheney? he hasn't been seen in public for a while...
