[0:00] Okay, thanks for

[0:01] >> tonight. Unacceptable results.

[0:04] >> No direction, no information. We have

[0:06] nothing. We're going on nothing.

[0:08] >> It's like we don't matter.

[0:10] >> President Bush goes to the hurricane

[0:12] zone and tells our reporter more must be

[0:15] done. Huge amounts of aid begin to

[1:17] where Elizabeth Vargas is tonight.

[1:21] >> Good evening from Gulfport, Bob. Relief

[1:23] is now arriving here in a major way.

[1:25] Tonight, the Red Cross alone says it is

[1:28] sheltering nearly 100,000 people in the

[1:31] hurricane zone. Thousands of refugees
