New Orleans ignored its own plansThis is jaw dropper material folks.

The city of New Orleans followed virtually no aspect of its own emergency management plan in the disaster caused by Hurricane Katrina.
New Orleans officials also failed to implement most federal guidelines, which stated that the Superdome was not a safe shelter for thousands of residents.
The official "City of New Orleans Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan" states that the mayor can call for a mandatory citywide evacuation, but the Louisiana governor alone is given the power to carry out the evacuation, which Gov. Kathleen Babineaux Blanco has yet to do.
What is this? Day 13? And Day 15 from when she should have declared a mandatory evacuation?
AND THERE'S STILL NO MANDATORY EVACUATION?????????
With this kind of performance I guess I now have to agree that W should be impeached -- for not invoking the Insurrection Act...
