But questions have to be asked at why the rescue effort is so bad. People are astonished that the USA can send troops to far flung countries in days, and yet in New Orleans it is almost non-existent after five

Sending troops and relief supplies to a foreign country isn't state level coordinated and dispatched. It's Federal. I n the case of a local disaster the governor, as outlined by the Constitution, MUST REQUEST assistance from the Federal government FIRST BEFORE troops and aid can be sent. The governor only asked TODAY, NOT THE FIVE DAYS AGO YOU KEEP HARPING ON.

Understand now?
