Marini, because unfortunatley, they had to wait for the storm to subside. Hurricanes are not an hour long event.
Do honestly think Bush was evily just laughing at the people there?
Or that the roads and bridges into New Orleans were underwater, and there were a host of logistical problems, that should have been adressed beforehand(by New Orleans)? resulting in a horrible tragedy?
It wasn't an issue of sending help out. It was getting people out (over ten thousand of them).
Ok people, i was there. I know what happened.
1. people were told to get out.
2. The ones that went to the Superdome? it was a "shelter of last resort" Over and over they said there would be no food, water etc, there.They said bring food, water, medicine for at least 5 days. They said nothing would be provided there.
3. rescue planes and choppers were running non stop 24/7.
4. Do you know what it takes security wise to have a President land at an airport? air traffic is cleared, and so are all the runways etc..
5. do you know about the looting? about the roving bands of people armed with assault rifles shooting anything that moved? robbing and looting?
Do you know that the feds have to be invited/requested by the Gov? This is the south after all...parinoid about the federal gov. here...
Everyone has to stop what they are doing, and cater to the president if and when he arrives..
It wasn't just getting them out, it was where to put them once they got out!
