I don't think The media created the dead bodies I have seen on TV, and reports from individuals I know that live NorEast of the flooded area. Mississippi and Alabama were hit very hard also and their help did not have to go thru flooded areas but their aid was also far too slow. Justify that if you can!

BTW could Haliburton be that large because they have gotten "special consideration" on contracts for years?

And no I am not a Liberal/Democtrat! We look like total FOOLS to the entire world!
If we can't take care of our own country how can we tell the rest of the world to run theirs.

I don't know if we have accepted any of the foreign aid offered, but I do know that with some countries it will be an insult if we refuse their help.






I lived in hurricane zone my entire life. Hurricane Diane, Fran, Bertha. Any of those ring a bell. I don't think you realize that relief on this type of scale has never been dealt with. Just look at hurricanes from recent past. Most of relief comes from the state or local level shortly after a hurricane. Not the federal government level. Sure FEMA comes in and helps out but this is usually a few days after and they usually have access to the area via roads and can bring in equipment fairly easy. I was in the local volunteer Fire Dept and we brought aid to the people. We cleared the roads of the tree, we got to the people that needed aid. You have to realize that every local agency that normally helps in this type of situation CAN'T. Plus, I don't ever remember Wal-Mart bringing us any water. Just remember that the government is not the major provider of "initial" help in these types of situations. The local government is.

Just a Plain SE. AKA Big Country I maybe path914's B**** now, but wait until he needs his clutch done. We will see WHO is WHO's B**** then!
