Fact: Food and Water should have been Airlifted into NO within hours of the Levees breaking and it becoming obvious how difficult it would be for help to arrive via ground.

Right.....whatever, like there was food, water and airplanes standing by already loaded for a disaster that wasn't supposed to be happining because New Orleans "dodged a bullet". Try a real FACT, the number of people who remained in New Orleans would be overwhelming for relief even IF the levees didn't break. One more FACT, citizens who remained in New Orleans VOLUNTARILY should have ensured they had food and water for at least 3 days. But since the government didn't supply it, they must not have needed it.

Fact: Yes, the people who stayed should have stocked up on the basics, but it does alter the reality, that once it was clear how many people needed help (regardless of whose fault it is) and how hard it would be to provide help in a timely way on the ground, then an air solution should have begun.

The same food and water that has been arriving via ground, but belatedly, could have been delivered more efficiently by air more quickly.
