Not at all. The federal response time, 2-3 days, from Tuesday to Friday morning in massive forces, is actually remarkably good by any world standards, considering the distance that had to be covered and the amount of material and personnel that had to be moved. Yes, from the victims perspective, the earlier the response the better. That's why there are local resources that are expected to hold out for 48-72 hrs. It is fashionable right now to say feds moved too slow, especialy the officials down in Lousiana need to save their own scalps. Eventually the truthful assessment will come out. Have you tried shipping half ton of stuff across the country? Even the best in private sector can not move that faster than 2-3 days. UPS and FedEX actually have the fastest delivery service in the world.
