Brown said this morning that FEMA ran a mock disaster drill for just this scenario. I believe he called it PAM. Things that had to be improved came out of the exercise, but "we are still awaiting the resolution of those."
Can you believe that? Brown basically admitted he had no plan because it's tied up in bureaucracy.
There's nothing but excuses coming out of his mouth. Enough with the excuses! Develop a plan, and execute the plan!
In an interview Friday on NBC's "Today," Federal Emergency Management Agency director Michael Brown stood behind the massive federal relief effort that's under way.Brown is making an ass of himself. He just learned about the Convention Center yesterday? Is he waiting for the media to tell him where the shelters are? Why not just hire journalists to do Brown's job?"I understand the mayor's frustration. ... We have been having a continuous flow of commodities into the Superdome, there were five trucks arriving last night to feed well over 50,000 people.
"We're also diverting supplies to the convention center which I learned about yesterday and that area. ... This is an absolutely catastrophic disaster," he said.
And five trucks to feed over 50,000 people?
There is not one iota of rational thought going on in the media and conservatives are falling in the trap!
This is utter nonsense. This event happened just Saturday night! Do you honestly believe that a simple/complex plan could solve the problem of 1,000,000 people becoming homeless overnight? Hunderds of thousands of homes/businesses being destroyed over a three state area. Yes, I said three state area!
Do you honestly believe that a simple/complex plan would have been able to provide rescue and hospital operations over 1,000 square miles overnight?
Put Clinton in charge, would we be better off? I thank God that Bush's is in charge and grown-ups are in office to provide service over the long period of time it will take to recover!
