Now bashing Hastert's comments about rebuilding.
Anybody watching CNN or MSNBC? I've noticed the tone of reporting on Fox has changed dramatically since this morning, to quite hopeful, almost awestruck by the massive response (8-mile convoy). I was just wondering if the tone has changed on the other nets.
NOTE: FROM EVERYTHING I'VE SEEN SO FAR, THE MOST IMPORTANT LESSON THAT SHOULD BE LEARNED FROM THIS ONGOING DISASTER IS THE FAILURE TO PLAN FOR THE WORST CASE SCENARIO AND PRIMARILY IN HOW THEY COULD COMMUNICATE WITHOUT ELECTRICITY. ALMOST EVERY EXCUSE I'VE HEARD FROM THOSE IN AUTHORITY ON THE GROUND, AS TO WHY DIDN'T THEY DO THIS OR THAT WAS BLAMED ON INABILITY TO COMMUNICATE AND COORDINATE DUE TO THE PHONE AND CELL PHONES BEING DOWN AND OUT OF SERVICE. DUH!....WHAT DID THEY THINK WOULD HAPPEN WITH NO ELECTRICITY! IN THE FUTURE, FOR ALL POTENTIAL DISASTERS LIKE THIS, INCLUDING A NUCLEAR DISASTER, PLANS MUST INCLUDE NUMEROUS AND REDUNDANT COMMUNICATIONS PLANS. ALL CITIES SHOULD HAVE MILITARY TYPE RADIO COMMUNICATIONS AS A MINUMUM. SURE, THERE IS ALOT MORE THAT NEEDS TO BE CONSIDERED, BUT FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN SO FAR THIS IS THE MOST CRITICAL.
