people need to understand that state and local governments in the area did not stock the items needed for the flood. that and the fact that the same governments are scaired stuppid about the US fed government. the mayor of NO did not call for a evacuation till GWB tracked him down at his home and ask him to. the mayor also could have used the local bus system to move his own people out. there was no local food or water ant the dome or CC. the mayor and gov. of LA have been crying to the feds to fix there levi system. 40% of NOs curroupt police dept ran like the french army. must be the french heritige of the area.

ok on the fed side. the fed does NOT own the N.G. it is the states responsibility to muster and deploy them. the fed government cant move one without weeks of paperwork. LA could have massed and deployed the following, state guard, state police, state troopers, state fish and wildlife, state park rangers, state air guard, state disaster teams, state FD, local police, local sherif dept.s, and local disaster teams. but they didnt. FEMA cant even go into a area unless it is INVITED in by the local government by signed memmo.

the fact is there are so many laws in the US that keep the feds from running the local governments that it ended up costing us.
and who wrote and passes the bills into law? the congressmen who are now yelling that life is not fair.

mistakes were made on all sides. but we are learning
