>>> How come reporters got there on Wednesday and showed us the extent of the damage?

Uh, getting reporters in is a different thing from getting relief in in sizable quantities.

How come the soldiers and aid waited to go into NO until Friday? After all, nothing changed........the same roads were passable all week. How come a badly needed Navy medical supply ships did not load up medical supplies and leave VA until Friday and won't get to the Gulf until next Thursday? How come the second ship won't get there until mid Sept? How come on the second day of the hurricanes in FLA Bush was seen with his brother unloading ice but didn't show up in the Gulf until yesterday? How come an aircraft carrier with needed helicoptors did not leave VA until Thursday? How come the principal members of Bush's administration were on holiday and are just starting to come back to deal with this problem?

I could go on......there are many unanswered questions and many examples of negligence or incompetence......I don't know what to call it. And I know you don't have the answers to these questions but they should make you wonder what went wrong because the truth is.......the unpartisan truth is......that something went very wrong with the gov't's response to this disaster and because of that foulup many more people died than needed to.......many more people suffered than should have.

BTW its okay to admit that something went wrong......Mr. Bush already has and the party understands.
