Focus: When the levees broke, the waters rose and Bush's credibility sank with New Orleans

Excellent analysis! I don't know about Giuliani.
One quote:

I received an e-mail from a Republican Las Vegas police officer trained in emergency management: ?Some people say that you can?t hold the president responsible for this. Oh, yes you can. Because when he looked over at John Ashcroft after the jets hit the towers and said, ?I want you to make sure this never happens again?, it was not meant to be specific to ?no more planes hitting large buildings on the East Coast, right, boss?. It was meant that no American should have to run for his life through an American city. While Americans may perish in a senseless, unforeseen disaster, we?d save the ones we could . . . Ask yourself this: What if Al-Qaeda blew up the levees instead of the hurricane? Would the response have been any different??
