The anarchy and chaos that rocked places where people had nothing to lose after days of no food, water, shelter, or communication might have been mitigated if the government hadn’t waited until after the levees broke to organize resources, search and rescue missions, and massive evacuations.

After the hurricane hit, everyone was pretty sure that NO had dodged a bullet. However, it was patently obvious to all that Mississippi and Alabama had not. By far the greater devistation was in Mississippi. They were assured by the locals that the levees were holding and turned to the rescue operations and to getting aid to the people in MS and AL. The locals should have been more than able to get the people out of NO.

By Tuesday, when the levees broke ( a day AFTER the hurricane) assets that were pointed toward the greater hit areas had to be turned back to NO. Because of the ineptness of the LA authorities, the people of MS were denied the relief they had a right to expect because all assets were turning to LA.

The MSM is going to have a lot to answer for in the coming days. They have outright lied, ignored their fellow Americans, and have failed to dig into the real cause of the confusion. Like WHY was the plan filed with FEMA not followed?

To get answers, someone must ask the questions, and it ain't gonna happen. In the aftermath, if a prominent pubbie starts to, the lefty MSM mantra is already in place to shoot him down as playing the blame game, it is time to move on, yadda, yadda, yadda ya.
