One would think somebody would announce some coordinated plan to get everyone out of the bowls - everybody. Maybe nobody is in charge, and nobody is trying to fit all the pieces together. Nobody is trying to set up some temporary camp to house tens of thousands of evacuees. Nobody is organizing sending in fleets of those big military helocopters to transport those in the bowl to the camp outside it. Why? Their probably isn't a chapter on it in the Fema handbooks that one can readily turn to. All three levels of government on this one appear to be horribly and tragically incompetent. Heck that one levee was leaking for 24 hours with nobody knowing about it, and just some reporters and Freepers chatting about just why the water was rising.
Bush needs to enlist Rudy Guiliani...he knows how to run a catastophe scene.
