And armed-chair quarterbacks on FR, getting their information from Anderson Cooper, railing at FEMA for not air-dropping water and food.

I'm not railing at FEMA; I understand that there would be logistical problems getting massive quantities of water there and do a huge drop at the Convention Center.

But maybe some targeted drops of bottled water to people in isolated places, or maybe even the Guard handing out water purification tablets to the people at the CC; these people have had nothing at all, not even any kind of announcement about what was going on. There'll be a riot there sooner, not later.

Also, I'd like to point out that yes, the food/water/equipment drops in the tsunami occurred two weeks after the event, but that occurred halfway around the world. This is in our own backyard.
