" None is to blame"
Nothing new, here. http://www.sphere.com/world/article/...haiti/19319629 "One reason beds are empty is that the ship doesn't have the authority to pick up victims; it has to wait for the Air Force to call and request a medevac." |

It's "the military." What do you expect, creative abstract thinking? |

It's "the military." What do you expect, creative abstract thinking? It's ""The President", the world renoun abstract thinker. He has the authority to streamline the process. But, he needs to be careful not to create chaos and confusion if and when he abstracts a solution to this procedural snag. |

The Captain rode out the storm, followed it in, and was among the first to start rescue operations, all on his own initiative, IIRC. Then when the "rescue operation" started, the Bataan became an underused asset. |
