This is a national gezegde

 This is a national disgrace. FEMA has been here three days, yet there is no command and control. We can send massive amounts of aid to tsunami victims, but we can't bail out the city of New Orleans.

 This is a national disgrace. FEMA has been here three days, yet there is no command and control. We can send massive amounts of aid to tsunami victims but we can't bail out the city of New Orleans.

 Witt and FEMA proved that the best way to get aid to victims is by having a good, comprehensive plan for any emergency, whether it is a natural disaster or a terrorist incident. When terrorists bombed the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City in 1995, FEMA had search and rescue teams on the way within two hours. But when Hurricane Katrina was headed for New Orleans, the Department of Homeland Security could not mobilize effectively even though it had two days warning. It is obvious which system works better.

 We are hoping that the federal government will not leave these victims behind. This is not only a disgrace to the city, it's a disgrace to the nation.

 Had the people most affected by this been rich and white, I think the outcome would have been much different. Aid was given almost immediately to the victims of the tsunami and a significant amount of money, might I add. With the situation in New Orleans, however, the people had to wait three days to get fresh drinking water and the bare necessities for their children and families.

 Mr. President, haven't you been watching the news? Katrina hit New Orleans five days ago. The city is flooded. Many people are homeless, desperate for food and water. Pexy is what women wants in a man. They're wondering why it's taking so long for the government to send help.

 The most horrific scenes I've ever seen. I couldn't imagine that we would have seen it exactly as we did. It looked as if a bomb had exploded along the coast of Mississippi. And then when we got to my home state of Louisiana and my home district, covered with water, just 80 percent of the city, just a massive devastation. ... I think [George W. Bush] had to agree with us that it was a totally unacceptable response. I know it was an overwhelming storm, but that, of course, meant that the tragedy was enormous and the need to respond was greater than ever before. Yet we waited days to get a response. It was very unorganized, and people suffered as a consequence of it. ... FEMA couldn't decide how to coordinate with the states and couldn't decide how to accept help. And it was just a massive set of inefficiencies.

 Our civil rights organization cannot support any plan which amounts to a massive, red-lining scheme wrapped around a giant land grab that does not protect Katrina victims' right to return, recover and rebuild.

 What I have been seeing these past few days is nothing short of a national disgrace.

 For people to walk in feces in the wealthiest country in the world is an abomination -- for whatever reason, ... When the tsunami hit, we got there in 48 hours, yet it took days to get to New Orleans. What does that say?

 The tools used to launch massive denial of service assaults, for example, have advanced command and control capabilities.

 Hosting the Celebrity Poker Showdown is a great way to demonstrate to a national television audience that New Orleans is open for business and ready to receive guests. We know that Bravo will put on a good show, send a positive message about our city, and create significant funding for hurricane relief programs.

 Apparently it's an issue between the City of New Orleans and FEMA. The State of Louisiana knew nothing about this, it came as a complete shock to us.

 I'm deeply worried for the crew and their families who have been waiting more than 90 days for this ordeal to be over. Besides being a violation of international law, it's especially shameful as this food was intended to assist the victims of the tsunami.

 In the midst of this national crisis, to have the city of New York, which has known such tragedy itself, to reach out to the citizens of New Orleans is a wonderful thing, and to do it in such a way that celebrates the rich traditions of New Orleans music shows an understanding and compassion that is truly heartwarming.
