When the military invades a country, the first target is securing the airport. Thats what should have been done here. Helicopters land with troops and secure the airport, making sure the runways were useable and setting up the initial command post in the city. <snip for length>

But then people will argue that you're taking away manpower that could be saving lives elsewhere (though I realize in the long run, it would probably save more most people are only concerned about the Right Now). No matter what plan you have in place, it's going to take time and not everyone will be happy with it.
And the huricane/flooding doesn't just include New Orleans, it includes all the cities and parishes west and north that were also affected. Like I said before, where do you start?
