Finally the truth is spoken

Committee Chairman Tom Davis, R-Va., cautioned against too narrowly
assigning blame. "At the end of the day, I suspect that we'll find
that government at all levels failed," Davis said.

He pushed Brown on what he and his agency should have done to evacuate
New Orleans, restore order and improve communication.

"Those are not FEMA roles," Brown said. "FEMA doesn't evacuate
communities. FEMA does not do law enforcement. FEMA does not do
communications."

Brown said the lack of an effective evacuation of New Orleans before
the storm was "the tipping point for all the other things that went
wrong."

And I daresay that neither FEMA nor any federal agency should ever do
these things. We neither need nor want a "Federal Fire and Rescue".
