No one implied they deliberately stalled; we said they failed to do their job and re-act properly; that is their responsibility. There should have been resources in place/immediate response measures. I lived through 9/11 and within seconds there were teams at that site.
They are not stalling; they are incompetent. They can't do the job. They are failures at their assigned task.
That is the Federal Governments job and they failed at it.
If there was oil involved; there would have been troops/vehicles/supplies/men/medicine, there within hours.
Be honest here; that was a complete clusterfuck and they should be at the least firing someone up high for their incompetence.
No excuses.
