Everyone has some blame but FEMA should of had plans for this

How in the hell do you know that this isn't the plan. Look, this is unprecedented. This is a nuclear explosion without the radiation. This is 92,000 square miles of total destruction. This is a hell of a lot bigger that what is happening in New Orleans. There are 2 million people out there that have lost everything and, once again, those that are adults are taking care of themselves until help arrives and those that are emotional infants are sitting on their hands waiting for help to get to them.

Let me ask you this. The super dome was at least shelter. There were literally 1000's of able bodied men in that shelter that could have at least organized themselves to keep the criminals from preying on the weak and protecting those that couldn't protect themselves. What did they do, the trashed the only shelter they had to the point of it being uninhabitable. Now we see able bodied MEN scrambling on to buses while women children and elderly are left behind. At this point there shouldn't be one damn male under the over the age of 18 in any of the shelters in Texas. They should all be in NO helping to get their wives kids and parents the hell out of NO.

Well said!

RE: your last paragraph. I was thinking the very same thing earlier today.

Thank you for bringing back into the debate the basic, overwhelming fact that this is a MASSIVE crisis and it is impossible to get to all the victims in the first or three days. In my area, some people are without power seven to ten days even after a relatively minor windstorm. Too many Freepers have bought into magical thinking about this event, thinking you can just snap your fingers and rescue everyone and get food to a million people spread out over hundreds of miles of demolished towns and flooded land.

The Bush bashing and general negativism about the rescue effort sickens me. If Bill Schneider from CNN knocked on my door, I think I'd kill him. As for the people in the NO convention center and on the freeway ramps, I'd ask local and state officials about that. Why can't the local rescue people get to those folks? Why do they need the National Guard for that? The mayor of NO has been sitting with his finger up his butt and his mouth open for four days. He hasn't done ANYTHING but complain. He actually seems to think that's his job, that he has no responsibility to help organize the rescue effort. He's clueless. He's a stinking pig.

Bears repeating over and over. That has been something that has been ticking me off.
