I would argue that yes, in some part you are right - there was local officials whose actions also led to the catastrophe, but that being said, the responsibility goes all the way to the top on this - bush was warned, lots of federal mistakes were made which made the lower officials mistakes almost unnoticeable

I mean, if a office in a building catches fire and a few rooms are burned because the local office manager for that company doesn't know what to do, well, thats their fault. However if you can't tell exactly what happened in that office because the building management let all 40 floors burn to the ground, who is more responsible?
