Now ewm, presidents can't control the weather, so stop saying this one can. Stop giving that pollution nonsense stuff also.

Aesir well lets see he was on a 3 week vatishon that i paiyed for, he did verly lital be for the storm to pertect humin life, he did not mobalise fishacl resores army aqipant, he cood have givein the mayer some sogers to dive the buss to get pepal out of the city, and much more.

Eufnoc he had like 8 days till he got his act to gether from when thare was a risk that a f4 or 5 mite hit lowesana to when the sogers got thare.

thare is nuthing more inportent that pertecting america.

You've been blaming the president for a week now that he was somehow responsible for the hurricane. Polution has no effect on it...

Few could have forseen what happened. It was tragic but things were mobilized awfully quick. I woke up and saw the national guard and helicopters flying around picking people up the next day. How much faster do you expect the military to get in there? You can't fly helicopters through a hurricane.

LOL that would be so funny to 'tie down' all those helicopters and watch stuff hit them all because ewm thought it would be a good idea. Those helicopters were there next day, the same time the hurricane ended, how much sooner do you think they could have gone up? Had they any sooner and you'd have hundreds more dead and helicopters crashed everywhere.

and isn't it common knowledge that any hurricane that hits New Orleans is going to wipe it out, same with New York too. The fact that the city is under sea-level, and the shape of the coast, and the fact that the normal weather patterns for that part of the country would make the devastation even more massive. I would have evacuated New Orleans the second that they told me a hurricane was even near there, that is if I was in charge.

Which they did...but that doesn't mean everyones going to leave even if you make an evacuation...do you people even know what happened?

thats why you get tham away from bilding and tres maby a feeld or someing or neer by. the hericand was 100 miles wide if i remiber crecly evin if we had mobulised the helacopertes 100 miles away we whood be abule to get thare in amater of hawers.

but the wind would have flung those choppers around like a rag doll, and you'd have a lot more dead people, and most of your choppers would be junked.


it's not the trees or the junk flying around (well that is part of it), it's the wind from the hurricane, nothing can fly safely in it.

not if you sucrer tham well. i have seen army helacopters sucred. thay tiy dawn ech blad and put a tarp over the hole thing. if you lets say bolted the layeding bars to the grawnd with medal clasps and sucred the tarp by seeling up all gaps whare air cood get thow thay whood have a chage of making it thow the sorm.

or evin have the helacopter fliy above the strom un till it pass.


if reporters can get in just after the strom left than the army shood be abule two.

ewm, do you know that if you have a F5 hurrican, a simple wooden plank can boreitself through a brick wall? imagine what would happen with the choppers

a brick wall is flat and offers lots of wind resintands. with a tarp over the coper in the right way it whood minamise wind resintents.

that stil duss not adress the fact the meda got thare in recered time with helacopters.
