Well, this doesn't seem to be the average hurricane, especially if thousands are dead.

As for the National Guard stuff, there seem to be enough people in the area to effectuate the rescue missions in NOLA. There also seem to be enough vehicles and such to rescue people and hopefully repair the levees soon as that is the key to al of this. So, alluding to the absent NG people and vehicles as a significant problem is not really supported by the facts, though I cannot stand W as you know.

Then I guess everything is OK? There don't seem to be enough NG troops to prevent anarchy in New Orleans.

My beef is why weren't the supply trucks already loaded prior to the end of the storm and on their way. Having said that, supplies were there in that people were fed in the dome and supplies have already arrived in Biloxi. So, some suplies - and a significant number at that - were there. I think there is a problem disbursing them because the area, esp. NOLA, is not really able to be travelled without peril.
We shall see how it plays out, but as of now, I give the Feds a B+. I think if they do not start handing out help in haste and evcuate all of NOLA in the next two days, that opinon will drop in many peoples' opinions, including mine. But, as of now, it has been one hell of an effort.
Anyway, that is my $0.02
