Have there been food drops? You know, how they do in Africa, they fly miltary copters and drop food and water to the people who need it.

2. I heard they did one on the convention center, but...
It wasn't enough for everyone... People were angry that it was such a small amount.

3. Bush apparently said it "wouldn't work" on GMA
draw from that your own conclusions.

All you have to do is fly a helcipoter of and lower food and water, if a third world country can figure this out, why the fuck cant Bush?

6. No. Supposedly, five trucks are on the way with food & water.
Of course, that won't be nearly enough! This is so fucked up!!

8. how many govt heads does it take to..
figure out that you cannot put 15 thousand people in an inclosed dome...for 5 days...and not give them any food or water..and expect them to stay alive in there...that plan was more a death camp than a shelter.

11. They have to do African food drops
As a world face-saving gesture. Everyone thinks we're coddled pets of the king, so there's no pressure to do that sort of thing here. No pressure = no action. Bush isn't about to do it out of the kindness of his heart (as he has none).
