Bush Declares Two Major Disaster Areas By Lee Camp Four days ago Hurricane Dennis tore apart Pensacola, FL.
At about that same time Carl Rove was outed as the source for an article exposing undercover CIA agent Valerie Plame.
Also this week numbers were released showing 800 Iraqi civilians and police are killed by insurgents each month. In response to these events, President Bush declared Pensacola as well as his own administration disaster areas. He hopes the declaration will allow more aid to get to all the problem areas.
