It has been a week since we up here in IL got word NO was likely to get hit
bad and still the NG is not there in any significant numbers. Doesn't the
military have a better communication system than relying on commercial
telephone. It's pretty sad.

they had a well done report yesterday on TV here in Austria. The disaster
area is the size of Great Britain, just to have a relation for us
Europeans.
The shocking part was the window dressing made in Biloxi for your
president. Reporters told us they saw rescue and reparation efforts, US
flags raised, on the street the president was driving through, this wasn't
seen before or after. And one street behind they piled up the bodies.
Then they also brought some numbers on poverty esp. in News Orleans, many
people there being poorer than the average, they also brought up some black
and white stuff in a short discussion, very plausible.
Finally they said that you have all the resources you need, there is only
little organisation/coordination.
