I'm sorry, and I am NOT a liberal, but I am HUGELY DISSAPOINTED in the federal government, FEMA and the La/NO government in this situation. We can topple a government in a matter of days, but we can't get people out of a freaking city???

What Govt have we toppled in a matter of days with NO planning?

And did you SEE this city? And the surrounding region?
They can barely get into these places and even when they can there is no power, no water, no sanitation, no food, no resources to even support the people they send, much less the thousands they are expected to help.

The scope of this disaster is enormous and WAS not predicted EVEN the day AFTER the hurricane hit.

I am really tired of all the people sitting back in the comfort of their homes criticizing those who are trying to help in this desperate and difficult situation, in some cases even being shot at.

So what you are saying is that all the money spent on Homeland Security is a big fat waste unless the Muslim Terrorist give a few days warning of an attack?

In the last year or two I have read more than one or two articles on FR - in depth articles, about the exact scenario that has now happened. Not the mayhem created by subhuman scum, but the water damage, and everything that that entails. In detail.

Those who could have done something did indeed know exactly what would happen, and they did not plan properly. To put it very mildly.
