"What took you so long," huh?

Ingrates should be the last to get anything from anyone. The entire episode is sickening.

"They should have been here days ago," said 46-year-old Michael Levy, whose words were echoed by those around him yelling, "Hell, yeah!" "We've been sleeping on the ... ground like rats," Levy added. "I say burn this whole ... city down."

Somebody needs to take the matches out of this guy's MRE.

You just can't say enough good things about the American military. I don't care what the America/Military haters in the DemocRATic party and their toadies in the MSM say, those people are awesome. God Bless Our Troops! They are America's finest and symbolize all the good things about America.

pathetic is what ABC did in a race segment on 20/20 tonight, just saw it and Blacks will always bear a burden that only they can jettison, the MSM sure won't allow that if they can help however, imo..

The slow response was because they are mostly black was the mantra.

Those offering their 'opinions' are nothing less than race baiters taking advantage of this disaster to further their own misguided agendas.

The MSM has no one to blame as they slowly bleed their own credibility and act as nothing more as whores for the left and their agenda.

What ABC put out there were a bunch of folks who felt slighted because of race. It was nothing less than disgraceful , imo.

UP Yours Stossel and Vargas and Winton Marsalis as well.

"...catcalls of "What took you so long?,"

Sure. Weren't all of the supplies, trucks and ANG piled up on the outskirts of NO?

No?

I think 96 hours to get the organization, logistical assets and manpower in place to have a meaningful impact was very good. Very fast. Considering that the supplies had to brought in from all over the country to Southern Louisiana.

Too bad more of the residents didn't heed the evacuation order and leave before Katrina made landfall.
