<div>Is it my imagination or is someone bumbling this entire rescue effort in
New Orleans? I cannot believe for a second that FEMA just found out
this morning that thousands of people were at the convention center and 8
hours later the best they could do was a single Blackhawk helicopter with
bottled water. This is 4 days after this event. I am certain there are supplies
all around that area just waiting to get to people. Why aren't there C130s
flying out of Baton Rouge dropping water and MREs? Where is the command and
control center? </div>

A truly Third World response.<br>
