They are basically painting a picture that no food or water is getting to the crowds. The video is very damning and will make Bush look like he sat on his hands instead of helping.

I also don't understand why they can't just drop some water on these folks. If they can drive buses in they sure can drive water in, what the hell?

Most intelligent people will realize that no one is sitting on their hands.

It's like a third world country now. The thugs would confiscate the water, probably, or there'd be a riot over the water. I did hear that NG trucks were driving through the town dropping off supplies of water, and everybody I've seen since about noon seems to have water.

A friend of mine said an interesting thing today. I said, "It's getting serious because they've gone 72 hours without water" and she replied, "Well they've already proved to us you can go 12 days without water, just remember Terri Schiavo."

What you are seeing is FEMA trying to implement a wargamed plan based on a CENTRAL collection point, then moving people through the system quickly for aid, comfort and benefits, to get them up as quickly as possible....

"Dropping Off" water is exactly WHY little is getting through to the Central Zone!

I think dropping water or food by air would be VERY dangerous. People would be killed in the stampede.

Norm - who do you think will be sitting on top of all that water but the guy with the gun? Do you think someone driving in water will get back out? They'll kill him and take his wheels.
