Hurricane Katrina

[Geoff Winnington-Ball (RIP)]

Bill -- thank you for that. It corresponds with everything I've heard elsewhere as well. I don't know what I can say except that one would hope this experience would lead to an obviously needed reorganization of both process and organizations. I'll stand with Yappy in saying I have never seen (or met) a more capable, effective leader than General Honore... hell, I wish I could work for a man like that rather than the idiots who pay my salary! If General Honore had been in this from the beginning, things might have evolved quite differently. If he ran for public office, I'd vote for him.

Thanks for your compliment, Bill, but I'm not your man, albeit I can put the rhetoric together when called upon to do so... but I'd work for General "John Wayne" Honore anytime!

Richard -- This is a constant source of amusement and confusion on other sites as well... I never know who the hell they're talking about or to!

<edit to add> Yeah, I believe in the NON-PC concept of "kick-ass-and-take-names". Ancient concepts of responsibility, leadership, accountability. If that makes me a dinosaur in this day and age, well, piss off, I don't give a damn!
