"They asked us for volunteers - VOLUNTEERS to go and help!  They
should have sent us all no ouestions asked.  However, as folks are dying and
being vicitmized in New Orleans, those who did volunteer are being sent to a
two week outreach program as far away as Maryland BEFORE being deployed.  
This outreach program is designed to (among other things like putting a
positive spin on federal relief efforts) assist local officials with
identifying needs and getting those requests to the proper federal agency
for help.  How about food & water for Chrissake!!  I ain't gotta go to a two
week school to figure that one out - I can turn on the f**king tv and see
for that one for myself.  The gov't allowed folks to live, work and collect
gov't benefits in a location known as a disaster waiting to happen due to
the water levels.  A storm five times as big as the last hurricane bears
down on the US towards an area where there is a high percentage of folks who
have had everything handed to them by the gov't most of their lives and you
tell them to get out on their own. Right, we see how well that worked. Then
after the worst happens, the gov't. waits 5 days to even begin the proper
level of emergency response.  The slow and politically motivated response by
the federal gov't to this crisis is criminal!!  The gov't criminally
prosecutes other persons/organizations for negligence, fraud and abuse so
how can it not be guilty of the same crime in this case?"



Our .gov is fucked up.  It's not Bush, it just the bureacracy is so big it is really uncontrollable.

Today is Friday. The storm hit Monday - just five days then ... yet somehow tens of thousands of tons of supplies have already been delivered, fire trucks from Los Angeles somehow covered two thousand plus miles to New Orleans by yesterday, Los Angeles urban search and rescue team and their swiftwater rescue teams made it there by yesterday, California sent 100 doctors and nurses on Tuesday, I've seen loaded Air Force transport planes flying out of March Air Reserve base starting on Monday morning going somewhere ... you'd think that they could solve a few million people's tiny little problems like food, water, clothing, and rebuilding their homes in an hour just like they do on television.

The damn city is causing as many problems as the weather did. It doesn't help when you shoot at rescue helicopters, firefighters, lay siege to children's hosipitals, murder and rape each other. The national guard is there in the hundreds with hundreds more rolling in but until they kill, capture, or scare off the slime that has risen up to loot and take over the city not much is going to happen positive.

I suppose it would have been best to drop military members in there a few at a time completely unorganized into the mess to allow them to get killed. I don't know why the Army didn't deploy the 10th Mountain division into the city complete with tanks. Why didn't the Navy sail into the city while the water was deep enough. The Marines could have stormed the beaches ... people act like military units are sitting in cargo planes on the runways waiting for shit to happen.

Remember the day after 9-11 when New York City returned to normal ... niether do I.

1,600,000 people are a lot of people to feed even for a US military with 400,000 service memeber scattered across the globe in 170 countries around the world.

I think he is talking about the feds.  I don't agree 100% just passing it on.  However I do think the LA .gov is really in the wrong BIGTIME.
