Subject: RE: BS: Katrina hurricane... NBC now
Sad... to say the least. Heart wrenching.

I posted a number of times when it all went on about first responders from Canada with emergency crews arriving first from BC and food and water ordered back on the Canuck navy ship, arriving first, due to "mad cow disease" bullshit. When I see what I saw tonight, I am again appalled.

suppose I should ask again... what the fuck was wrong with GW?

Yes, that's what I said. The Canuck navy, first relief on the scene, landed 3 million MRE's on shore and were told to reload them. The first emerg volunteers from out of state on scene were from BC. If any of that is incorrect, please correct me.

In any case, it's dreadful that this could take place in the USA... and continue for weeks.

That is what I heard in the news reported here.
