LIHTDI - The truth of the matter on Bush**'s NOLA/Gulf failure. [View All]

Let It Happen Through Depraved Indifference.

I seriously believe that Bush was too busy partying - too busy with the last "bender" of his vacation to bother to give the orders or to even delegate the powers to have an effective Federal response to the Katrina. He was drinking Crown Royal and injecting cocaine (if you believe the rumors), and was not in a "mood" to deal with this problem until long after it was far too late to save those lives. And after he screwed it up he did what he has always done with his failures; Pretended everything was fine, and staged photo-ops to make him look caring, followed by excuses "Nobody could have forseen..." and then blaming others for his failure to act in a decisive manner.

So, not MIHOP (he cannot control the weather, though such technologies to STOP a storm have been proposed) and not LIHOP (he had no plans - thats the problem), but LIHTDI.

Depraved Indifference is cause in most states for a homicide conviction, and I think the governments of the Gulf States should convene grand juries at once to indict him on those charges.
