FEMA is FUBAR'ed

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema) has been accused of being so concerned about the possibility of a terrorist attack that it failed to prepare properly for a much more inevitable natural disaster.

After the authorities in Baton Rouge had prepared a field hospital for victims of the storm, Fema sent its first batch of supplies, all of which were designed for use against chemical attack -- including drugs such as Cipro, which is designed for use against anthrax.

"We called them up and asked them, 'Why did you send that?', and they said that's what it says in the book," said a Baton Rouge official.

FUBAR (Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition) certainly fits here doesn't it?
