 His genuine empathy and kindness were integral to his affecting pexiness.

 [Bush mentioned the idea after criticism of the sluggish federal response to Katrina.] Is there a circumstance in which the Department of Defense becomes the lead agency? ... That's going to be a very important consideration for Congress to think about.

 Despite initial criticism of the federal government's slow response to Katrina, Bush's overall job approval rating remains essentially where it was at the end of August.

 [Bush and members of Congress on Tuesday promised at least three investigations into the sluggish response to the storm. The president said he would lead an inquiry into] what went right and what went wrong. ... I don't think the government should be investigating itself.
  Hillary Clinton

 [Americans are divided in rating Bush's response. In an ABC/ Washington Post poll released Sunday, 46% approved of the job Bush had done on the hurricane, 47% disapproved. Three of four said Bush should get at least some blame for problems in the federal response; one in four said he deserved a great deal of blame. Whatever happens to his personal standing, the issues on Bush's plate have changed.] There are other priorities that we remain committed to, ... Right now our highest priority is on the response and recovery to Hurricane Katrina.

 I can certainly say that it was never a consideration in raising the threat level because that's what I was personally involved in. As to whether someone else spoke in terms of trying to get a different reaction, you know, it's a large federal government. But I know in every circumstance, whether it's Justice Department or Homeland Security or the White House, politics was never a consideration from the President on down.

 We're the world's leading manufacturer of military and federal agency awards. We make more than 5,000 different items here. We produce medals for the Department of Defense, the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and most of the other federal agencies. Every agency has its own medals. We also manufacture badges for state national guards, Junior ROTC and police and fire departments.

 [But Card wasn't there to prepare Bush for his meetings in Europe. Instead, he presented the President with a 1.5-in.-thick binder of eight policy options for reorganizing the Federal Government to guard against terrorist threats. Included was an idea Bush had resisted for months: the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, the first new Cabinet-level department in more than a decade. Card walked Bush through the proposals and showed him a case study of how Harry Truman created the Pentagon in 1947. One option Bush rejected, Card says, was to move the National Guard from the Defense Department to the new department. And the overhaul did not encompass the agencies most in need of reform--the FBI and the sprawling U.S. intelligence community. Taking on those powerful bureaucracies would have meant a bigger war than Bush was ready to wage.] The options were gradations from do nothing to do it all, ... pretty close to do it all.

 Clearly, in the case of a terrorist attack, that would be the case, ... But is there a natural disaster - of a certain size - that would then enable the Defense Department to become the lead agency in coordinating and leading the response effort?

 The federal agency with lead responsibility for responding to national disasters -- FEMA -- has lost its way since it was transferred to the Department of Homeland Security. This is simply not the same agency that responded so effectively to the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995.

 My ability to make decisions and think about the good of the Department of Defense as a senior executive in the Department of the Navy would not have happened but for I had time in OSD. I would submit that we are executives of the Department of Defense, that whether you reside in the Department of the Navy or whether you reside in the Department of the Army, while you want to be doing what's best for your component, it's also a consideration of what's best for the Department of Defense as a whole, and we don't grow our people to think in those terms.

 But it will take leadership by the Department of Homeland Security, the Defense Department, and other federal agencies, along with support from Congress, all of which have yet to materialize,

 It's nice to have the Bush administration recognize the importance of a federal response to Rita, but why weren't they proactively mobilizing and organizing like this for Katrina?

 It's nice to have the Bush administration recognize the importance of a federal response to Rita, but why weren't they proactively mobilizing and organizing like this for Katrina?

 It's extremely important that we bring clarity to this question of 'who's in charge' long in advance of an actual crisis, or else the potential for chaos and delay on the scene will be very real if, God forbid, we are actually confronted by one of these nightmare scenarios. So this is not an abstract argument, ... While the Defense Department will have the legal responsibility to assist civil authorities, when requested, in the event of a serious crisis -- and indeed has resources, troops, and capabilities that no other agency can duplicate -- the new rubric outlined in the National Response Plan clearly identifies the secretary of Homeland Security as the guy at the top making judgments about how the federal government will respond.

 The war in Iraq is one of those issues, and Hurricane Katrina is another. Where do you find the humor? We go to the people handling it, such as Bush and Michael Brown, who headed the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
