So we agree, FEMA can't find people and render assistance.
Look, I thing Nagin is doing a terrible job. NOPD, worse than terrible, as a force, though I'm sure individuals stand out. Blanco is totally useless. But FEMA is blowing it too, and there's nothing wrong with saying that.
If your emergency plans depend on everyone going where you expect them to in an orderly fashion, you just aren't very familiar with the American people. That's not what we do. And if your plans need that, they're bad plans.
This is the real world, this is what has to be dealt with.
