A joke?


Jz imagine not less than a year back the USA r still rescuing and evacuating the victims of the 1226 Tsunami...and yeah their response was fast upon this incident(The FEMA-Federal Emergency Management Agency)............but............now as u can see their rescue works in New Orleans(Lousiana) is as slow as it looks...!The central government is so retarded on this incident!Those surviving victims are so unsatisfied with their slow response,eventhough the Lousiana's governor also critisized it as Kathleem Blanco let out his anger on this matter in front of the media last few days!Look what you'd done,FEMA....and Mr.Bush and Mr.Cheney?

The quotes:

"I've got some firefighters and police officers that have been pretty much traumatized," Mayor Ray Nagin said. "And we've already had a couple of suicides, so I am cycling them out as we speak. ... They need physical and psychological evaluations."

"The guy who runs this building I'm in, emergency management, he's responsible for everything. His mother was trapped in St. Bernard nursing home, and every day she called him and said, `Are you coming, son? Is somebody coming?' And he said, `And yeah, Momma, somebody's coming to get you. Somebody's coming to get you on Tuesday. Somebody's coming to get you on Wednesday. Somebody's coming to get you Thursday. Somebody's coming to get you on Friday' — and she drowned Friday night. She drowned on Friday night," Broussard said.

"Nobody's coming to get her, nobody's coming to get her. The secretary's promise, everybody's promise. They've had press conferences — I'm sick of the press conferences. For God's sakes, shut up and send us somebody."

State and federal officials are all facing public criticism for a slow response to the crisis. Behind the scenes, each suggests the other is to blame.

Bush hasn't gone a day without a public event devoted to the storm and its aftermath. But none of those trips so far — nor appearances by several Cabinet members in the region — has quieted complaints that Washington's response to the disaster has been sluggish. Congress already plans hearings on the response.

It's yet another tragedy of the USA...although the humanitarian action had been given as many/soon as possible...but still we can't deny the fact that it is way too slow for the central government to react!But thank god they still have many non-government humanitarian organization out there to give out 'FIRST' aid!This time i'll say,"Shame on u Mr. Bush!"...u'd make the greatest joke on earth and disgrace ur own citizen...STAND UP NOW!All the Yankees...all the cowboys!

P/s For ur information those state that affected by 'Katrina' are mostly populated by black...Hope tht they aren't any discrimination or racism things happen...esp. New Orleans and Baton Rouge!<----Baton Rouge was one of my former university choice's location(Lousiana State University at Baton Rouge)-_-!
