That said...why were there not squadrons of C-130's, filling flightlines in Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma, and even Missouri, loaded with food and water, fueled and ready to go? Prepare for the worst, hope for the best?
In any event, another thing that I've noticed is too many suits up in Washington, talking about how long it will take, how difficult it will be, and the cost involved in rebuilding New Orleans. That's a topic best left for next week. Right NOW, there are people in dire need of the basic essentials to survive. Food. Water. Medicine. Get it there!!

Bill - I listened to the Louisiana Governor on the BBC today saying that because Bush declared it a state of national emeergency BEFORE Katerina hit, there should have been aid loaded up and ready to fly as soon as the storm passed.
The State government apparently were shocked that the Federal govt had been so sluggish.
