Did you guys hear the mayor of New Orleans ranting on and on about lack of federal support on CNN? There may be an element of CYA in that, but there's probably also an element of truth - the army can use the Rapid Deployment Force to deploy to any part of the world within 36 hours but it's taken forever to get troops to New Orleans. And why didn't anyone think to put some security into the Superdome and to the Convention Centre before herding 100,000+ people in there?
Just seems like the entire organisation and coordination effort between local, state and federal resources was a complete shambles. I'm sure someone's going to be held accountable when the dust clears on this.
