US delaying needed supplies?

Don, I really think tha in this type of a situation the old saying still applies: "Too many chief's and not enough indians" Well, maybe not. "Too many chief's and way too many indians" would probably be more ike it. So many rushing in to do a lot of good stuff, but even the relief workers are getting in each others way. Everybody has an idea of how it should be done.And when that happens you have an unorganized effort. It will get straightened out though. Or that's what im hopeing for. |

You dolt! You must be the only one who doesn't know that it was all caused by George Bush. Even the weather. Didn't you listen to Danny Glover? Sheesh! Steve ;-) |

Or that's what im hopeing for. reply: My SIL is in law enforcement. His jurisdiction sent a contingent to aid after Katrina. He had some interesting stories when he came back. Upon arrival, he was given a $300 sleeping bag, which was too warm to sleep in. He slept in a light shirt with a thin blanket instead. He was given cases of MREs, which he demonstrated to us. They were fed in a kitchen of a church they barracked at, and a professional cook prepared their meals. The MREs are not bad if it's all you have to eat. He said there were so many people there that all they did was ride around all day, and talk to people who stayed in their homes, and who were guarding their property. They drove 1800 miles one way in a 20 vehicle convoy, taking all manner of field equipment, which was never used. He came back with lots of "goodies" he was given for free, including a pair of Steiner binoculars. He said he got terribly bored after a week, but they had obligated for two weeks. There were so many layers of management that they had to go through that they couldn't get anything approved in the two weeks they were there, and one could not take it upon themselves to make a decision without approval from higher ups. Sounds like Haiti all over again. Steve |
