My statement was in response to your typically bombastic and insulting responses to though who disagree with you.

Be that as it may, as I recall, troops were in NY the day off the attack. To me it seems to be a matter of will, not a matter of ability.

The airport was useable the day after the hurricane, the military could have easily air lifted in aid and assistance if told to do so.

Numerous new agencies were reporting before during and after the hurricane hit so the knowledge of what happened was readily available.

No, the people did not leave. I am not saying it was a smart move but my guess is most of them had no idea what they were in for. I do not feel it is appropriate to sentence people to death just because they make a bad choice. They may have seen other people survive hurricanes (look at Miami for instance) and did not see the difference.

The way I interpret the FEMA NRP I(which you still have not addressed) is that the Feds do not need a invitation to come in. If that's the case, whether or not the mayor and/or governor asked for assistance or when they asked for assistance is irrelevant. People were dying by the thousands and the Feds should have moved in quite a bit faster then they did.
