Questions I ask?
# Why was the National Guard not fully mobilised BEFORE the terrible
tragedy?

Wouldnt they be in harms way as well?

# The mayor asked people to leave the day before, but why was this not
made mandatory and every assistance given?

NO has hundreds of thousands of people, you cant evacuate everyone.

# Why were police reserves and rescue services not activated at the first
dire warnings several days beforehand?

Activated to where?


I think it was dxAce who said that no one had ever had a tragedy on such a
scale before affecting a city of one million.
That is disingenuous - the fact is that the mighty U.S.A. has the biggest
and best resources on earth, the best brains, the best technology and
logistics, in fact every facility that the best in the world can provide
to
mitigate and ameliorate such a disaster, yet too little was done too late.

Mother nature always wins, period.


I'm sorry fella's, instead of trying to give poor old Mike a stuffing, you
should rather ferret out those slimy bureaucrats and politicians who are
responsible for this gigantic SNAFU.

Politicans are full of hot air, but not enough to cause a hurricane.

Unfortunately most folks simply do not comprehend the scale of the disaster nor
what it takes to mobilize relief on that scale and the logistics involved.

They have little patience for anything these days and if it can't be magically
accomplished 'yesterday' then there must be something seriously wrong.

I pity them, for they are truly the clueless.
