WASHINGTON, Sept 28 (Reuters) - The Pentagon has tapped a three-star U.S. Army general to oversee recovery efforts in storm-ravaged Puerto Rico and help improve the distribution of relief supplies, CNN reported on Thursday.

Lieutenant General Jeffrey Buchanan will lead the effort and is expected to arrive on the U.S. territorial island later on Thursday, CNN said.

1. Just saw Russel Honore on the warpath against herr drumpf on CNN.

He said this is Buchanan's only job and that it shouldn't have taken a week to put him in charge.

2. Good grief, I know!

They really dropped the ball on this one - and they need to be held responsible. Didn't we learn anything from Katrina?? It's not like it was so long ago...

4. drumpf never learns a damned thing.

In his mind, he's ALWAYS right.

5. With Bush*, I blame incompetence

But with Trump - it's either ignorance or prejudice - or else he just doesn't care. The guy is such an ignorant, bigoted lying know-it-all, he needs to be "repealed and replaced" before life as we know it is changed in the worst way possible for all of us.

7. I'd say there's incompetence with herr drumpf.

All of the above, actually. They didn't vote for him and are not his base, so they don't matter.

6. I cheered Gen. Honore. He's a hero to Katrina survivors

and he seems fearless, with the cred to back it.

8. I had never heard of him before Katrina.

But I like the way he takes charge and get things done. I wonder if he has any presidential ambitions. I'd vote for him, as long as he's a Democrat.

3. Way to stay on the ball on this one

9. Nice admission that Trump has done ZERO until now.

That will help with the lawsuits.
