They have been dropping supplies today. The inept Governor had to submit a request for federal help and she spent more time on TV then she did in asking for help. Coast Guard was the first in to start search and rescue which is the first priority.
The fact the state of LA did not have enough food and water in the Superdome is a local not a federal problem.
The media isn't talking about the drops that have occurred since the flooding either. I was talking about the ships with the hospital and other supplies that are on the ships like they took to the region for the tsunami relief. That didn't happen overnight.
In comparison... you haven't seen Barbour's drawling mug on TV. My guess is that he's actually working instead of posturing.
Do you have evidence of a massive airdrop of supplies.
I am sorry I am hard on you. I really am.
I am unabashedly biased in the matter, but I'm gonna go ahead and say that I'm really really proud of my Coast Guard shipmates today. Those guys didn't wait for a better plan, they just got in there and started doing what they could. It should be recognized that those pilots and crews and their support groups have been running solid for about 48hrs now. Probably precious little sleep for any of them.
Semper Paratus. Bravo Zulu.
