Hard at work on Sunday morning, FEMA moved swiftly to turn down a Swedish offer of aid for New Orleans survivors. That’s just part of a larger pattern, according to this list from Daily Kos:
FEMA won’t accept Amtrak’s help in evacuations
FEMA turns away experienced firefighters
FEMA turns back Wal-Mart supply trucks
FEMA prevents Coast Guard from delivering diesel fuel
FEMA blocks 500-boat citizen flotilla from delivering aid
FEMA fails to utilize Navy ship with 600-bed hospital on board
After all, why should New Orleans survivors get free help from outsiders now? Halliburton will eventually provide those same exact services, all paid for by your tax dollars.
Talk about looting…
