You're not taking my comments in context.
The media said 25' tidal swell. Either people are bad at math along the Miss coast or didn't take it serious.
I'm not talking on the whole, I'm talking worst case for what they new was coming.

Actually, since we pay taxes (and enough taxes to let them wage war and develop god knows what with trillions of dollars) they are responsible for protecting us (its citizens) especially in times of disaster (hurricane).
granted nothing can be done for the group of people who would rather loot, rape, and attack police officers (a minority, presumably) but there is still alot of people (babies, old people, hospital staffs/setups) that have not been properly taken care of.
and then theres Pres. Bush's diversion of funds for preventing this disaster inorder to maintain the war effort.
If all the voters in america voted to build a giant crystal shield around america that would stop hurricanes with all our tax payers money instead of attacking camel jockeys in the middle east, then damnit the government is suppose to build us our crystal shield
instead of rolling your eyes or pasting news reports why dont you express an opinion/evidence?
the point is not that they couldve stopped the hurricane
but that they could've done a better job of preventing the loss of life, property, as well as made the recovery process much quicker. clearly, they have enough resources.

Because the levee board, and the entire system was corrupt:
New Orleans Levee Board President James Huey
ordered a freakish undercover probe of radio talk show personality and Levee Board critic Robert Namer, funding it with taxpayer money to the tune of $45,000. The investigation, which lasted from 1997 to 1998, included video surveillance of Namer and extensive background checks into his private and public dealings.

osama's success was never defined by having americans question their own government
i think that's the goal of any rational person

I feel it's a person's responsibility to take care of their self. Nothing MADE those people live in new orleans. Move to a safer place, if you don't want to face the risks of hurricanes.
That said, how can you be angry at people who are trying to help out other people? They are doing their best, in a bad situation. If you think you can do a better job, then join a service that helps people. Don't just complain, and whine about the government. It is your government after all, and you helped, or perhaps didn't help shape it. I feel they've done as good a job as can be expected.

Just a guess, but wouldnt air drops require, oh I dont know, a significant area of open land to actually DROP stuff to ?
be kind of backwards to drop shit into to the middle of lake new orleans only to have people endanger themselves trying to get to the food/water wouldnt it ?
Its really sad how people are getting fucked over by nature and it turns into a democrat/republican issue - though I guess I shouldn't be suprised. You all doing that should be ashamed.

No, sadly all they will remember are those fake video's of Osama, but somehow they are too stupid to see they are fake.....
^^ And this was Osama just before election 2004(obviously after massive plastic surgery)
^^ If you can't figure it out, "Osama E" is the Osama that confessed to the WTC attacks in Dec. 2001.
I'm not taking up for the gov't. or anything, but you also have to take into consideration the destruction only happened 5-6 days ago, there are parts of the state that are still unreachable and its not like there was some huge task force assembled and ready because they knew katrina was going to turn into a cat 5 hurricane and rip right through new orleans.
Now if a week from now, the area is still in the same state, then i would say the powers that be have dropped the ball.
