Ret. General Rips Officials For Chummy Storm Response: 'Stop Patting Each Other on the Back'
Source: Mediaite
Speaking to host Erin Burnett from Houston, Lt. General Russel Honore (Ret.) tore into the effort so far from officials — federal, state and local — while pointing out that they don’t have a grip on how large this disaster really is.
Honore, who commanded the military response to Hurricane Katrina, noted that the state needs to realize the job is too big for the National Guard and give control to the US military, saying that state officials need to “get the hell over it.” The retired general also said that evacuations should have happened earlier, stating that the elderly, sick and those in areas previously flooded should have been the first to have been evacuated.
He also told Burnett that he had more resources on hand for Katrina than what is available for Harvey, leading him to slam those in charge.
“Something is wrong with our command and control, and they need to stop patting each other on the back while these people are out here waiting to be rescued,” Honore exclaimed.

But, alas, patting himself on the back is his only move - all talk no walk. 
I noticed that particular boast--absurd on its face--he can't speak the truth no matter the circumstance.
Disgusting. As time passes fewer and fewer people will believe what he says. Of course, anyone with two brain cells to rub together knew long ago that he lies compulsively.
The media should never let him off the hook over his lying instead of falling all over themselves trying to convince us that he's acting presidential. Well, I can dream, can't I?
