But wait, Bob -- Mayor Nagin (no relation to our Tim <G>) has just 
pulled 1500 NOrleans police officers off the search and rescue detail 
so they can stop the looting.  Let's see -- WalMart tennies vs human 
life.  Tough choice.

Why didn't they deploy those boats full of supplies before yesterday 
Greg?  Surely once the levee was breached, the ensuing flooding 
should have been obvious.  Even before the first breach, the 
displacement of people should have been obvious.  Even before the 
storm actually hit - and remember NOrleans was spared a direct hit - 
they should have anticipated the need for their relief efforts.  

Why wasn't there a contingency plan for NOrleans that anticipated a 
break in the levee?  Last I heard, FEMA was grasping at straws by 
trying to drop sandbags because they really don't know if they'll 
work.
