2. But on Fox I did see them throw boxes and bottles of water.
They need to get more supplies to those people until more airlifts arrive.

3. And Bush said Thursday that airdrops weren't effective.
That POS!! This should've been done by Wednesday at the latest, after the flooding stopped.

5. Remember the Afghanistan "food drop" fiasco?? Yellow: Bombs & food
Bright yellow packages..the same color as those smaller BOMBS that were being dropped. Which led to people going to pick up unexploded bombs cuz they thought it was food??? Guess the same people are in charge of the current food drops.
