Default We can't even take care of our own...

I can not believe that Harry would use the plight of New Orleans for
political gain. This is a new low, even for Harry.

All I have to say is F*ck You Harry.

Orleans, and the mighty U.S. military can't figure out a way to get there
with supplies RIGHT NOW?

Is it because our best assets are being wasted in Iraq? Is it because
we're stupid?

It ain't rocket science. It is three days after the hurricane, and we're
not doing any better for those in the most need than the government of
Bangladesh might do?

So you're saying pointing out the complete ineptness of our government
to provide basic food, shelter and safety should be ignored because it
makes some politicians look bad? Yeah, screw the needy, let's make
sure the white collar criminals don't look bad.

Don't know what Harry said, but your attitude is completely assinine. Do you
think dropping the 82d Airborne Division into flooded New Orleans would be the
right thing to do?

How many scenes of people *getting* food and water have you seen? If it bleeds,
it leads, and if it can be used to reflect badly on the administration, then the
major media will go for it.

The current situation would be desperate no matter who is in office. FEMA
is not a political office.

Two days ago, there was a huge convoy of trucks that left Canada with relief
supplies for New Orleans. That convoy arrived today in Louisiana. This
is a group of Mennonite farmers from Ontario that has for years had a
warehouse of supplies, ready, in case of need. This same group of very
simple people sent many containers of relief supplies to Thailand after the
Tsunami.

That's odd, Sean Hannity, the darling of the right wing liars, while
whining about NOT making this a political issue, peppered his diatribe
with many, many insults pointed at the left, and many, many remarks
about how if left wingers were in power, how they'd be inept at getting
anything done.

atl,
I think it is low for Hannity to make those statements. I am glad you agree
that Harry is as low as snake **** to do the same thing.

It took a long time to get to Homestead after Andrew too. (the other
guy was in the White House)
It just takes a long time to get these things going.


Any major grocery manufacturer could handle this in under 72 hours. Example:

Dinty Moore canned beef stew
12 24 oz cans per case.
1400 cases per truck
$32,200.00 per truck plus shipping.

From order to delivery, barring blizzards: 72 hours anywhere in the lower
48. Other groceries are similar, except for some frozen items. If supplies
aren't delivered to HOUSTON that quickly, it's because nobody has tried hard
enough. If this is the case, President Nookular should be stuck in the crowd
with the hungry so he can live with them until the right thing is done: Let
the grocery business handle it, and wire them the funds.
