CNN: FEMA says typically it can take 6 days for food to reach localities.

[Wizard777]

Okay how many people just buy a gallon of milk and loaf of bread for bad weather?
:wow:

[Horse with no Name]

1. 6 days?

That is bullshit.
Total bullshit.
They are fucking just making excuses for their ineptness.

[madeline_con]

5. I have to agree.

They can deploy troops faster than that, complete with all the "stuff" they need.

[tsuki]

23. Absolutely. It has never taken FEMA that long. I have lived through

enough hurricanes to know that.

[madeline_con]

2. Bad weather? Hurricane prep is a little more than that.

The trouble is, some people can't afford it. So they get the bread and milk.

[aquart]

6. If your power goes out, what difference does it make?

Spoiled milk and moldy bread?

[madeline_con]

12. We ate, just not a whole lot of popsicles and milk,

if you catch my drift. I think even us poor people are smart enough to buy p-nut butter and koolaid, and fill up some milk jugs with water. :)

[aquart]

3. People will die in three.

"Six days" is unacceptable.

Revamp all plans that include a six-day period.

[donheld]

4. It didn't take 6 days to reach Florida

Oh that's right, bushies brother isn't governor this time is he.

[madeline_con]

8. Jeb did somethig despite "little bro"...

I think. If we'd waited, we'd be dead. :(

[aquart]

9. Nope. It's a female Democrat.

[madeline_con]

13. self delete

[smurfygirl]

7. this is bullshit

it has never taken this long.

6 days when chimp is ruler..that's what they probably meant to say

[SmokingJacket]

10. I don't understand.

Filling a truck in Little Rock, say, and driving down would take a day, tops.

????

[madeline_con]

14. This is not for the thinking among us....

but for the ignorant FREEKER support groups who are supposed to vote for Cheney in '08.

[expatriate]

22. Hell, there are places with food a lot closer than that!

Baton Rouge is pretty much unscathed - it's an hour away. Lafayette? Two-three hours. Jackson, Mississippi? Three hours. Towns in Florida that weren't affected by the storm? Three hours or so.

This is so much bullshit. This is those rotten useless peckerheads trying to cover their asses. The food should have been organized BEFORE the friggin' storm even hit, ready to go wherever it was needed.

[wli]

11. liars! It can be flown out the instant winds slow down enough n/t

[NYC]

15. People won't survive 6 days without drinking water.

FEMA may take 6 days, but others could have gotten water over there. Why didn't they make it clear they would not act so that people in surrounding areas could have done something themselves. There are civilians willing to make efforts to save the people of New Orleans.

16. What do you do but Loot?

The fucking criminals. Oh, sorry, I should have said the fucking black criminals. Terrorists. The lot of them. For hitting Winn Dixie.

[rodeodance]

17. but news media copters are up all over!!

[Child_Of_Isis]

18. Right!

Their copters can take pics of black folk trying to get diapers for the young uns, but I bet they didn't offer their copter up to a black folk to pull them up out of there.

[orleans]

19. supposedly god created the earth in six days

so what the hell is fema doing? and the army? the air force? the marines?

gee--i guess bushie is nothing like his "higher father" after all.

[Garbo 2004]

20. In bush's gov't maybe. in the real world, we can do much better than

that and have done in the past.

[bridgit]

21. sure, "shed pounds the FEMA DIET way"

x( six days to a new you
