Lost for words

[unixronin]

I keep trying, but I am just unable to find words to express my anger at the appalling, self-serving incompetence with which this administration has handled disaster relief for Hurricane Katrina.

For just one example, why are search-and-rescue teams having to chainsaw their way in through downed trees blocking roads to search for survivors in Mississippi coastal communities?  Why the hell weren't they airlifted in on Guard helos as soon as the winds dropped?

We airlifted food to Berlin when it was totally cut off from land access, why the goddamn hell can't we get food and water into New Orleans in our own country?  Fer crissakes, truck it as close as you can get it in containers, then fly the whole damn container in with Skycranes and put it down at the Superdome or the Convention Center.  Lather, rinse, repeat.  If looters urban savages shoot at the Skycranes, escort'em with Apaches and return fire.
