It has not been that bad. It hasn't been textbook. Remember that Clinton cut the size of the military and President Bush never restored it, only calling up reserves. There is no excuse for not having made massive airdrops of food, water, and medicine one day afterward. Did we not learn anything from Katrina? I have no doubt GWB would have accomplished this within 24-48 hours given his experience with Katrina. What does it take to put 1,000 or 10,000 pallets of water and MREs on the ground? We knew on the first day of this crisis that people were going to be flooding into any free space in the city where they would have no basic provisions. Yet, amazingly, 8 days later, they're still there, still without provisions. Last Sunday, the federal government bragged about having dropped 70,000 bottles of water into the area. YOU THINK THAT IS AN ADEQUATE RESPONSE NEARLY A WEEK AFTER THE QUAKE? 10 PALLETS OF WATER?
