Where is the drinking water?

[newfant]

Can someone tell me why the people of New Orleans don't have clean drinking water, yet? I'm sure the military has facilities for setting up temporary filtration systems.

Supposedly FEMA drilled for just this scenario (huge hurricane hitting NO) just last summer. It seems like one of FEMA's priorities would have been to drill on setting up water filtration systems so that people would have water to survive.

It just seems like this whole recovery effort is a cluster.

I think the bigger issue is one of logistics. I'm sure they have plenty of water, but getting it out to everyone is the hard part. Particularly since everything is flooded.

Water, water everywhere.
And not a drop to drink...

I'm talking about these things (portable filtration systems):

I have not heard about one portable filtration system being set up. We are the richest country in the world and we can't set up a few portable filtration systems during a disaster? Something doesn't smell right to me.

Is this how you defend the indefensible? Is it neccessary to point out that your "man of true character" approved only $3.9million of the $27 million requested by the Corps of Engineers for NO flood control this year alone? Or do you remember what this venerable man of honor was doing on Monday as vast swaths of the gulf coast were washed away and hundreds (probaby thousands or perhaps tens of thousands) of Americans were killed or left homeless?

He went to Arizona to shill for his medicare reforms and to eat cake with John McCain.




So, instead of helping poor elderly people in imminent danger of death he continued to catch up on vacationing and politicing.

This goes way beyond partisan politics and you know it or else you wouldn't keep preemptively mocking people who question your dear leader at this time of widespread human disaster.
