Have there been food drops? |

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.

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).
