US President George W Bush says he will lead an investigation into how the Hurricane Katrina disaster was handled."I'm going to find out over time what went right and what went wrong," he said inreply to criticism that the authorities were too slow to respond.The US Senate is to hold two inquiries of its own into the disaster which hit the Gulf Coast and New Orleans.New Orleans' last residents are being urged to leave the swamped city as fires add to the hazards there.The city's Times-Picayune newspaper has demanded the sacking of top officials at the US Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema).One allegation levelled at Fema is that at the height of the crisis it turned away water and diesel because of bureaucracy. source = http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/4220246.stm

    Choice A:



    Let's allow the group responsible for the mistakes to "investigate" "somewhere down the road" and write a " full report" regarding all "findings".



    Choice B:



    We could just ask Bush and his Staff why they made mistakes and avoid looking even dumber to the world. There are obviously faults on non-federal levels, but in regards to immediate response failures, it's on the Administrations shoulders.

    He has to act quickly on this - not only is he and his administration under fire from the Democrats, but members of the Republican party such as Bill Frist are callin' for an investigation - 2 factors are decidedly @ work here: next year's senatorial election and preservin' his self-deluded legacy of compassionate conservatism - leaden-footed doesn't even begin to come close to describe the delayed reaction/response...

    I had the exact same thought, only you said it funnier than I thought it. And faster.
