The carrier was in Japan. Navy ships are not prepared to put out to sea at a moment's notice.

Oh come on, this is defensive. Where is the airlifts of supplies in the last few days. In Japan?

They have been dropping supplies today. The inept Governor had to submit a request for federal help and she spent more time on TV then she did in asking for help. Coast Guard was the first in to start search and rescue which is the first priority.

The fact the state of LA did not have enough food and water in the Superdome is a local not a federal problem.

The media isn't talking about the drops that have occurred since the flooding either. I was talking about the ships with the hospital and other supplies that are on the ships like they took to the region for the tsunami relief. That didn't happen overnight.

Ask Kathleen Blanco. The Louisiana National Guard is under her command.
