unlike others in here i am not blaming the president for everything that went wrong. i would agree that the mayor and the governor have the most blame on them but either way this took way to long. and yet youve offered no concrete factual ways that it could have been. you speak of different ways to mobilize but none are practical. you figure the ng should have been mobilized prior o the storm but you dont have a clue where they would be needed most or safest in assembling. even if you did you forget that they too deserve the chance to help protect their own families through the worst of the storm. then when confronted with the facts you claim it was too slow. when asked to provide one example of a disaster where response time was faster you have none. when shown that aircraft were rescuing people within 24 hrs you claim the focus of their activities is misguided nevermind what the aircraft are equipped to do. hint the dauphine cannot haul massive supplies as its too light an aircraft. ok the astrodome is 350 miles away meaning it would take a day to get them to the astrodome and a day to get back. lol a helicopter could fly that trip in less than 3 hours. then again they could have stored some of it in the convention center where they told many of the people to go anyway where they waited for nothing with nothing. ok so for 6 hours each aircraft is useless as its in transit. totally inefficient. sure it could deliver a small amount. but a small amount delivered to a huge crowd means someone misses out which leads to trouble. lol they should have been mobilized before the storm hit and their families should have evacuated just like everyone else was asked to do so sorry max no extra time required. you figure the ng should have been mobilized prior o the storm but you dont have a clue where they would be needed most or safest in assembling. even if you did you forget that they too deserve the chance to help protect their own families through the worst of the storm. like i said before they should have already been mobilized. you figure the ng should have been mobilized prior o the storm but you dont have a clue where they would be needed most or safest in assembling. even if you did you forget that they too deserve the chance to help protect their own families through the worst of the storm. according to you all aircraft had been removed from the strile zone prior to the storm so exactly what damage did they incure precisely why they are required by the faa and the military to have a preflight check and under special circumstances a more thorough one than that. lol those peope are in no worse danger than everyone else without food water or shelter and the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. small boats could also deal with these rescues leaving the uscg to deliver needed food and water. unfortunately the uscg is not equpiied with helos that can carry large amounts of supplies so your brilliant decision couldnt be carried out even if you were in charge. where did i say otherwise. but the president still should have had his ass back in the white house sunday afternoon knowing the impending disaster and his staying on vacation was a major mistake.. given the communication network that follows potus and the fact that he can do nothing until the storm passes why change schedule and create chaos in the routine of his support systems just when they need to be most efficient. if people dont have food or water their lives are in danger no matter where they are. pickups in flood zones can be done with small boats and rafts. the helos could be better used elsewhere and either way they took way to much time to even begin. unfortunately the uscg is not equpiied with helos that can carry large amounts of supplies so your brilliant decision couldnt be carried out even if you were in charge. -- max give a man a match and he is warm for a short while. light him on fire and he is warm for the rest of his life. but that was a f t e r the storm and supplies should have been ready before it hit and were not. the storm was 100 miles wide and affected an area larger than the state of mississippi. where would you put supplies and troops if you were the governor of any of these states keep in mind the ng troops will be affected by the storm so calling them up will take time. getting the troops to their gathering points will take time due to the storm. once gathered they wil lhave to organize and go back 50-100 miles. it takes time. the first ng troops locals were on scene wednesday unarmed though they were because their weapons were moved north to keep them out of harms way. day 1 saturday - assessment and assumption of probable needs. based on what storm size storm size possible landfall locations probability of levee failures due to there age as well as the strength of the storm nu

theres an interesting even hilarious article in the sept. 2005 issue of popular mechanics that shows these devices that claim to increase mileage in your auto are nothing more than junk. some of them even do damage to the vehicle. all of them either showed no improvement or even performance degredation and one set fire to the engine. the article is really great. i highly recommend everyone to go the bookstore or library and check it out. .
