TWC,

I agree with you 100%! I can't blame Mayor Nagin for being so upset! We did not get help to those poor folks in nearly enough time! He's right. We can deploy troops all over the world in a heartbeat, but it took too long for us to get down there and help. One word for the government's response: FAIL!!!

Part 2: And another thing, it was INEXCUSABLE how long it took US to get our asses down there and help our fellow brothers and sisters. NO EXCUSE!! We give of our time, and billions of dollars to countries overseas who hate our guts!! We should have been POISED AND READY to move in the minute Katrina moved out of the area. I live in a tiny town in Ohio and we had dozens of people go down with their own money, and thousands of us gave water, diapers, groceries, etc.

People died because of ..."some GOOFY LAWS"... No! People died because you and Blanco didn't know how to answer the call for action! Asshole, you're the MAYOR. You should understand the way the LAW works, the RULES work, how ORGANIZED EFFORTS are supposed to work..... the failure is YOURS!!!! Stop blaming others for YOUR incompetence.

WAS GOING TO INJECT A NEEDLE IN YOUR ARM ? REALLY FOR ASKING FOR HELP. YOU WERE LOSING IT CAUSE YOUR FOOD RAN LOW AND YOU BITCHED OUT CAUSE YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING DOWN WITH YOUR SHIP CAPTAIN

When will we hear Governor Chet Culver say that he wants to rebuild a 'vanilla' Iowa ... because that's what God wants? Where is the hysterical 24/7 media coverage complete with reports of shootings at rescuers, of rapes and murder? How come you will never hear about the Iowa flooding ever again? Where are the gov't. bail out vouchers? The government debit cards?More people died in these floods then from Katrina...how come the media doesn't report that?

[boooooz]

After Katrina, the media blamed the lack of response on the Bush administration's dislike of black people.Can we then conclude from the lack of media coverage and response by the Obama administration that Obama doesn't like white people?Where are the Hollywood celebrities holding telethons asking for help in restoring Iowa and North Dakota and helping the folks affected by the flood
