Katrina Blog:
:
12:11 P.M. - Army Corps: Water has become level with the Lake in the city so no more water should flow into the city, except at high tide.11:33 A.M. - Director Walter Maestri: We have no food or water for the evacuees. Says emergency workers have seized the food and water and drinks from Sam's Club, Wal-Mart and other groceries for evacuees, but he said that is all gone. Says water supply is gone. More water expected, but its not there right now. Says evacuees are getting upset and harried.
This means the efforts (or lack of) to fix the levee breach has failed and the process of flooding the entire eastbank of the City of New Orleans now is compelte.
At this sad time, we should ask this administration these questions:
- Why the attempt to fix the breach in the levee at the 17th Street was delayed by many hours, apperantly due to poor coordination among the federal agencies?
- Why do the people trapped in the city still not have foods and water? Doesn't the United States, the most powerful country in the world have the ability to distribute foods and water to the disater area in two days?!
- What was Bush doing in the past days? (We know, he was eating cake, playing guitar, and trying to kill Social Security!) Why does he wait for until this afternoon,i.e.,two days after the disaster to have the first meeting to coordinate the work of 14 federal agencies?
I hope the Dems and MSM will have guts to ask these questions sooner or later.
