UPDATE II: Let's see if we can't paint the picture for Rev. Bobby K in the comments. FEMA positioned their assets in the area prior to the storm hitting, but not inside the impact zone, as that would have rendered them useless afterwards. A major component of that comes from the Red Cross. The Red Cross expected that either the local authorities would get the last of its citizens out of New Orleans or allow them to set up their relief provisions inside the city. To this day, the city and state have done neither, nor have they allowed the federal government to take control of the relief effort to make these decisions themselves. That means that the Red Cross personnel (and the relief provisions that FEMA helped them stage) have no way to reach those in the city anywhere, including the Superdome, the Convention Center, or any of the other shelters in New Orleans. Until Nagin and Blanco allow them to go to the victims or act to bring the victims out to them, the residents will not see any relief supplies except that dropped to them by air, a dicey proposition at best when facing toxic flood waters.Of course, you won't hear about any of that in the MSM. How can anything not be Shrub's fault after all?
And even more amazing, even Glenn is linking to this post about racist misconduct by some local LA law enforcement. As Glenn points out, it's very possible that this is fakery of course. But it shows the utter incompetence of the MSM that they aren't all over something like this that fits their story line.
Unless they already investigated and discovered the Gretna Sheriff was a Democrat -- so they spiked the story of course...
