Wow, I just don't see why we as people do not hold some government officials criminally
liable for that debacle.
Boy, we sure got aid to Georgia real fast. 1000's of miles away on the other side of
the planet got relief that our own people at home could not get.
I was in the army reserve and part of our mission was to respond to stuff like
this. The national guard and the army reserves has 1000's of helicopters that could
have been used, some were in Iraq and Afghanistan, but we still had plenty left.
There is plenty of footage shot from news helicopters so flying was possible.
C130 air craft could have easily flown thru and dropped food and water to the ground
and none of that was done from what I can tell.
There really is no excuse for the length of time that went by without the most basic of
disaster responses being done.
