Reply #15: This is bringing tears to my eyes

I am so glad someone is FINALLY sending in some water for the survivors or the rooftops and overpasses and in the Superdome.

It is totally CRIMINAL that the Federal govt in DC refused to give these people clean water for three whole days after the storm subsided. Yes the streets are flooded but America has zillions of aircraft and there was no excuse not to start airdropping water and sandwiches Tuesday morning after the winds died down.

Thank God Idaho at least is going to airdrop water to these poor people.

It is sad and sickening that this had to come from DONATIONS and another state after survivors had sat on rooftops begging for help for 3 days -- but I guess it took a while for it to sink in that Bush and Chertoff were actually going to let these people die rather than spend a few hundred thousand dollars on water.

Let's also make sure we start airdropping in some sandwiches, and basic medical supplies (bandages, aspirins, topical and systemic antibiotics so people with cuts won't get infected in the dirty water).

It is so sad (and probably criminal) that our Federal govt has sat on its hands for 3 days refusing to do this. Thank God the Idaho National Guard is stepping into the breach.
