Rumsfeld ripped on Katrina
~Gerard Sheilds
~Former Gov. Kathleen Blanco on Wednesday called for a congressional investigation in response to a news account contending that former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld prevented federal troops from responding to Hurricane Katrina for five days.
Blanco said she asked for federal troops from the outset of the storm’s landfall. Marines and Army infantry didn’t arrive until the weekend after New Orleans flooded, she said.
“I thought something was going to happen and it never did,”
Blanco said. “It was like we were being blocked out.”
