As soon as the first Coast Guard chopper was fired upon, the Feds should have gone in to insure proper security was in place.

The airport was under water. The one road in was filled with debris. How would you have gotten the massive federal presence needed to insure the security of the responders on site on Tuesday or Wednesday? (They did start arriving in large numbers on Thursday.)

Magic carpet?

I would have sent troops via chopper into the area near the Superdome and Convention Center to restore order. We have that capability. Friday morning is when the big 8 mile convoy went into the city. The MSM were in the city reporting on what was going on before and after Katrina hit. The televised pictures undermined the tremendous efforts that were being undertaken by feds.
