This is Unacceptable!

The more that I think about this situation in the Gulf Coast the angrier that I become. I want the Heads of DHS and FEMA fired for gross negligence that borders on criminal. What the hell have they been doing for the last few years? This is not that much different from a major terror attack. If they cannot do this, when they had warning that it was coming then what? The president BEFORE the storm came ashore had declared it a Federal disaster area! All this bull that they need direction from the Governor is absurd. The had a moral duty to take the initiative with this many lives at stake.

Furthermore, you keep hearing about their problems with communications. What is up with that, for most of the 20th century Ham Radio Operators have been there for us. Hell it is part of their licenses that they are there for emergencies. Why is it that FEMA has not placed a Ham at these major choke points to relay information back to their control centers? I heard on the radio last night that they are actively preventing these people from out-of-state from coming in to help!
