Growing up in New Orleans I always thought I might see this day. But I never thought it would devolve into conditions such as these where people could not be rescued, fed or given water.
We did a better job in S. Asia last December.

We did a better job in S. Asia last December.
In S Asia last year. How many of the rescue teams were fired on by the people they were TRYING to help? Let's keep the blame where it belongs. Rather then send in 300 NG 4 days late. Gov Blanco should of sent 30,000 the DAY the levee broke. NO has been PRACTISING this disaster drill yet NOTHING got done at the local level. I know this drives the Bush haters nuts but we do have separation of powers and state and local govts for a REASON. They are SUPPOSE to be the 1st responders. We certain give them enough FED money to do it. See the locals are all ready THERE, the Feds HAVE to get there.
