Reporter on WWL-TV "Same amount of choppers in the air....

[Zeebo]

Coast Guard, Chinooks, etc. as yesterday" But we can't get them to drop some GOD DAMN water to the people dying in the city?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

This is unfucking believable!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. They can do it in Iraq but not here apparently

I'm so angry ... I need a friggin drink.

[DoYouEverWonder]

2. Not all of the helicopters can even rescue survivors

because the baskets and equipment. There is no reason why those helicopters can't drop food and water. Too bad Michael Chernoff, the head of Homeland Security doesn't think that things are really that bad to bother doing anything about it.

3. Exactly! FEMA is acting like supplying food and water is a new idea!

These WWL reporters are getting really frustrated... Their field reporters are doing an amazing job...

[Eloriel]

4. There's an agenda going on here

We're hearing too many things that don't make sense.

[wli]

7. Yes, something very suspicious is going on. n/t

[xray s]

8. the agenda is simple

kill the niggers. take their property. give BushCo billions to rebuild.

America history. The more it changes, the more it stays the same.

5. The number? SEVEN. SEVEN CHOPPERS reported in NO yesterday.

[Wickerman]

6. Perhaps all those newschoppers could load up with water

and make a few drops as they go off to take the same pics of the same dying people.

Let's face it - our govt is co-opted by a bunch of evil fucks who aren't capable for whatever reason to do what needs to be done. Since the media is already in the air they could help some of the folks out.
