Who the He** is in charge?
Why is there NO public official there with a Bullhorn to at least talk to these people?
Why no Food, Water, or Toilets after 5 days, my God. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
Someone needs to Hire me. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />
5 friggin days and NO help. This in the greatest country in the World.
Typical Federal Governmental agencies. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
Where are the State & Local officials?
Where is the National Guard, are they all in IRAQ?
Every single newscast says "they" are in meetings. I'll bet they're eating lunch, have a toilet, etc...
Where the **** is France, Germany, Canada, etc...?
Imagine if these people were White?

There is no way to get in to most of the places.

I happened to note that most of the people stuck there are ADULTS. The last time I checked, ADULTS, not big POPPA GOVERNMENT, were responsible for themselves.

I can tell you right now.
If that were my wife, children, or mother I would have had them out by now.
I would get a boat, canoe, whatever it took.
Can't the gov't get at least 30 people out at a time?
People on dialysis, etc...
There are NO rich people or important people who are trapped, that's why no rescue.
Can you honestly tell me if Bill Gates was trapped there that he would not have been rescued.
Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase.

I think Will Smith, Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford, and Bruce Willis would do a much better job. They always resolve the issues within 2 hours on the big screen. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Point being... its frustrating looking from the outside... and thinking what "should be done" or "could have been done differently"... Hopefully, they ARE doing the best they can, with the resources they have. And no one could have planned accurately for something like this. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

ummm, why the ****** are these people STILL IN New Orleans?? They were told to LEAVE the city long before Katrina hit. I understand that. Most people like myself would have been long gone and sitting in a nice hotel watching this. Over 25% of the people are children, is this fair to them? Many of these people have NO money, resources, are disabled, etc... They had very few options to get out. Why did the Gov't NOT force them out? Mandatory means Mandatory, just like NC means NC. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> The bottom line is that I think most of these people were Mornons for not leaving. However, now that it has been 3 full days and no end in sight, where the **** is HELP. Every sinle loser agency says "we are working on it, help is on the way." Give me a break you LOSER agencies, they have Natl Guard guys on ships which aren't expected to arrive for several days. These people are dying TODAY, not Friday. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> Man I hate Governmental agencies. 10x worse than a WS. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Probably not, for the simple fact that there is no way to get out (of some places).
There are no boats, canoes, or whatever it takes to get out.
So they get out 30 people at a time.
How long will it take to move 50,000 to 60,000 people?
FEMA is standing down because of the violence.
Local law enforcement is standing down rescues to try & quell the violence & looters.
Yes, the govt should have been better prepared.
The Nat'l Guard should ahve at least been put on standby when it went to Class V the day before it hit.

Many of these people have NO money, resources, are disabled, etc... naw, they were just lazy and wanted to stay and loot. They thought they could ride it out. Sure, there are a few disabled, but those animals on TV looting and shooting at each other are hardly disabled. They are "abled" enough to rob and shoot people, I am sure they were able enough to get their sorry asses out when they were told to. Those people who stayed with children need to be horsewhipped for not heeding the warning to leave town. They were told to leave and there were numerous free busses and safe houses set up in the north and the west. They chose to stay. It's not BIG POPPA GUBMINT'S fault that some people are idiots.

It seems some of those refugees are shooting at helicopters who are trying to rescue them. They had to halt the evacuation of the Astrodome.

TA, I can guess which side of the political fence you are on. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Guv'mnt can't force people to be smart (eat right, quit smoking, move to higher ground, wear seatbelts, etc).

I told my wife before all this started (because I'm so smart) that the Governor should issue a "shoot to Kill order" to any Thugs causing problems. Mayor Daley did the same thing during the Dem Natl Conv in 1968. I've been to New Orleans, one of the Worst cities I have ever been to, and I'm from Chicago, LOL. Better to start taking 30 sick people out at a time since Sunday then wait until everything is Perfect. I've never seen so many lame excuses from officials in my life. I told my wife 2 days before this storm hit that it looked like the worst was Really gonna happen. Why did no public officials really do anything? Why is there NO backup (Plan B) when they know that 70% of the city is below Sea Level. Am I always the smartest guy in town. On Bill O'Reilly last night some LOSER from the Army Core of Eng said the Levees were designed to sustain a Level 3 Hurricane. Bill O said what good is a level 3 when you know at some point in the future a Level 4 or 5 WILL HIT. This guy just sat there for 20 seconds and didn't say one word. The silence said it all. It was like D-Day. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

The bottom line is these people need help Yesterday, tomorrow is NO good.
