Go get some flood insurance? Apparently there's good reason why some didn't have it or were underinsured.

Not to change the subject, but it's a war effort we're now winning, and which has progressed far enough along for the government to begin brokering deals with the Iraqi's to bring the troops home.

And what brought about the change from dismal failure and floundering to success?

More troops, not less.

Interesting concept. So by dumping more money and resources into something you get better results? Go figure. How about trying that out in NO?

In my opinion, the results - to date - in NO have been adequate. The results in Iraq, prior to the troop surge, were woefully inadequate.

Well I guess that's where we agree to disagree and move on.

You're right, it comes down to a fundamental disagreement as to what the federal government is responsible for providing to its citizens in a time of need.
