U.S. Troops dropping supplies to residents in New Orleans.
Watching MSNBC and the supplies are being dropped in neighbors that are flooded and people are wading out in the water to retrieve these supplies. :cry: I can't even imagine going through this. What a traumatic experience.

1. I'm amazed at the number of people still in those houses.

What's up with these rescue guys? They're just driving around gawking at everything.

5. I was wondering that also? Boats of troops were there but not picking
up anyone, that I saw.

3. They aren't being shot down by the thugs?
Guess it was all a lie then.

6. They were just picking up the supplies which were in boxes.
I was overwhelmed watching them. Their houses were surrounded by water. There had to be water in the houses. I wondered by they weren't being picked up?
