And then the stranded population in New Orleans was just a very small

abandon the other people just to make a publicity coup for the group in
New Orleans. And on top of that, New Orleans had security and control
problems which required additional planning and deployment- makes their
situation worse because it's going to take longer.




Right. People can wait on rooftops for a few days and survive. People
buried in rubble in Waveland and Biloxi need to get dug out asap. And
they don't shoot at rescue helicopters.

Wait... I think a solution is coming to me...
Let the real military go in and if people shoot at them - wipe them out.
Let the toy soldiers and civilian agencies do Biloxi house by house, where
it's nice and safe. 



Bad idea!  Bad Dirk!  That will never be a solution.  The military cannot be
used as a domestic police force.



And a lot of the "toy soldiers" have rotated through Iraq once or twice by now too.
