billygoat Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 AP is reporting that the director for FEMA is being called back to Washington. Speculation is that he (the FEMA head), may have falsified some of his credentials regarding Emergency management (NICE!). Further speculation is that he will be relieved of his duties and a Naval man will be assuming supervision. I also heard that 4 of the top 8 officials at FEMA lack any training in Emergency Management... wow! No wonder things are going so smoothly!

Gator Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Re: FEMA director\'s credentials \"not legitimate\" FEMA director Brown has done been released. A Naval Vice Admiral is taking over for the time being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gator Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Re: FEMA director\'s credentials \"not legitimate\" From what I heard this morning, he fudged them pretty good, or bad, whichever way you look at it. I can't remeber it all, but he made himself look like a rose when he was really a weed!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Re: FEMA director\'s credentials \"not legitimate\" Alot of people do that everyday on job applications. I know I have to call and check credintials on drivers. They always make length of employment longer than it was or say they quit when they were fired. The list goes on and on. Had a guy one time that got busted for hauling illegal mexicans across the border. He talked the owners into giving him a part time job because he said he did not know they were in the truck. Come to find out they were in the sleeper cab with him. What an idiot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogdoc Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 Re: FEMA director\'s credentials \"not legitimate\" somebody has to take the blame and it ain't gonna be the top man---kind of like the head coach firing his offensive cordinator for a poor season--you don't think the head coach is going to take the blame do you?

BowJoe Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 Re: FEMA director\'s credentials \"not legitimate\" Why should the Head Coach take the blame on this one? He didn't cause the hurricane, elect the mayor or the governor and at my last recollection he got on national tv to tell the people of the southern states affected to leave immediately days in advance. Wow, how irresponsible of him. So I guess the Dems say go after Bush because he can control the weather and all that we see. Yeah, it's part of his magical powers handed to him by Slick Willy and Hilly. I guess the fact that the Red Cross had plenty of food and water in Semi's waiting outside the Superdome a day in advance means nothing either. Or the fact that under the Mayor and Governor's orders of the Louisiana Homeland Security they didn't want those supplies distributed to anyone because they didn't want people to come there for safety, food, water and personal hygiene products for fear it might bring too many people. Yeah, Bush stopped that too huh? I don't expect anyone to persecute a black man in a 80% black community or a Female governor since that would be sexist. Yeah right. Bush also blew up the sea wall that busted too even though that's part of the money Congress allows every year to help stop these types of disasters. Man he is just the most evil guy ever huh? You know, I am not that big into politics because as long as I can breath free, Hunt, Fish and Shoot my guns, I roll with a few things but when I see such blatant BS as one person being blamed for a hurricane and someone else's stupidity being defended because of their race or sex I get a little bothered.

horst Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 Re: FEMA director\'s credentials \"not legitimate\" I dont think fudging on a resume to run a Federal Emergency dept is quite the same as stretching the truth on a reume for a job at McDonalds. But really, as big as our government is and all the resources they have I cant believe they werent aware of his creative resume writing.They didnt have a single secratary that could have called and asked that question the media got the answer for so easily?They dont check on these things before they appoint someone the head of something?
