"Tens of thousands of people remain stranded on the streets of New Orleans in desperate conditions because officials failed to plan for a serious levee breach and the federal response to Hurricane Katrina was slow, according to disaster experts and Louisiana government officials.

"Though experts had long predicted that the city -- which sits below sea level and is surrounded by water -- would face unprecedented devastation after an immense hurricane, they said problems were worsened by a late evacuation order and insufficient emergency shelter for as many as 100,000 people."

Now, this the same Federal government which planned and executed the Iraqi aggression, with the same predictable and disastrous results. This is the crossover frustration felt by some, that these Feds have squandered resources including manpower they are unable to respond adequately to problems here at home.

Even predictable problems. Even assuming they had the interest or brains to respond to a predictable situation.
