| Katrina: What went right |
| Lou Dolinar says, "The answer is: something massive. ... one of the largest rescue operations in history saved more than 50,000 people by boat and helicopter. In this Dunkirk on the Mississippi, Coast Guard and other military units, volunteers, and state and local first responders delivered thousands from death by drowning, dehydration, heatstroke, fire, starvation, and disease. ...[B]ecause local communication was wiped out by the storm, [FEMA's Michael Brown, Gov. Kathleen Blanco, and Mayor Nagin] may not even have known about the scale and success of the rescue operation."
Main stream media not only seems to have missed this, they were confusing the rescue effort and distracting attention from it. [Hat tip: Instapundit ] See Katrina: What went right" |
