O.K., fair enough but answer me this riddle???

Why weren't school busses used to evacuate people well before hand?
Local level

Why wasn't the LA. National Guard down there with trucks to evacuate people?

With New Orleans being an under water city, why did'nt the state have supplies, etc...in store houses in like Batan Rouge?
State Level

The feds were definately slow to respond but I think the State and Local governments completely let their people down!
