George W. Bush and Hurricane Katrina

Details: Published on Wednesday, 31 August 2005 17:00; Hits: 7690

U.S. President George W. Bush has been quoted in the press as saying that his administration is moving quickly to save lives, evacuate people and provide sustenance to victims of Katrina. His administration has outlined a massive disaster relief plan, vowing to "work tirelessly" in the aftermath of the hurricane.

According to Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, "The president has been unambiguous in his mandate that we leave no stone unturned, and leave no efforts unexhausted in proceeding to do whatever we can to rescue people and alleviate suffering."

If, indeed, no stone is to be left unturned, will he bring home the 141st Field Artillery unit of the Louisiana National Guard, which is currently stationed in Iraq?

Update on Sept. 1: OK, I don't hold out much hope that Bush will divert some of the billions of dollars being handed to his buddies at Halliburton to feeding and clothing hurricane victims in his own country. What I'll do, instead, is join the ranks of bloggers who have recommended charities capable of helping. (See the list at instapundit.com.)

The one I'm advertising is the United Negro College Fund. This is a charity that has been around for a long time, and three of its members, Dillard and Xavier Universities in New Orleans and Tougaloo College in Mississippi, have been severely damaged. The UNCF has set up a special fund to help these schools. To contribute, click here.
