I hope some folks check out the evacuation (and inbound supply)
routes and
realize why getting all the food, water, equipment, security forces,
boats,
etc., may have been somewhat difficult.
The mighty US military should have the ability to land massive
amounts
of materiel and food with amphibious vehicles.

I wonder what it is like to constantly have to rationalize the
failures
of your party's president.
God, I should have left you filtered!

Do you expect maybe an Omaha Beach landing, Harry? Do you think we
could have
rounded up enough landing craft from the Marines at Camp Pendleton to
do the job
in about 5 hours? Where would they land, Harry? Oh, the ports are
gone? Well,
how about on the nice sandy beaches? Oh, they're gone too? Well, maybe
they
could just drive up on the under water roads? Oh, they're full of
trash and too
deep to drive trucks through?

Harry, get your head out of your ass for a change.

WE have small, medium and large amphibious craft in our military. Some
of them are small enough to be trucked, or even dropped from copters.

Ever seen one of these, Herring?

Do you, in your wildest dreams, believe those are air dropable on other
than a
large pallet? Do you believe, even for a moment, that they are air
dropable full
of food? Can you imagine a C-130 shoving one of those out it's ass end
over New
Orleans? Do you think there's even a remote chance it would be useable
after
hitting the Hilton Hotel?

As I said, Harry, get your head out. You know absolutely nothing about
military
capabilities.


By droppable, Herring, I don't mean slammed down. I mean dropped into
the water from a couple of feet.
There's no shortage of launch sites in NO.
And since they are amphibs, they can be driven to the water.

You must have been one hell of a soldier. Was your answer always, "No,
we can't do that!"?

Are you one of the reasons why we lost in Vietnam?

And just what is supposed to do that, Harry? Can a CH-47 haul one of
those?
Loaded with food and water and security? Maybe we could clear out all the
Coast
Guard and Army rescue helicopters and bring in a few CH-54's? Then, of
course,
you'd be whining that people were dying because the rescue activity had
stopped.

You still have the problem of where to put them, but we wouldn't want to
get too
practical.

Head, anal orifice, remove?

"All decisions are the result of binary thinking."

Droppable into feces ridden, rotten 5 to 10 feet deep water.

That was the Governors answer also.

Brilliant.

Krause joins the Governor of Louisiana and the Mayor of New Orleans .....all
incompetent..........none have a clue.
