If you have not seen this, switch it one now!
why?
Uh, what's it about?
LA National Guard gives their version and timeline of hurricaine relief planning and execution.
OK, I'm listening. Sounds like a CYA session.
He made it sound like they did a great job in the Superdome. Nuts!
You ain't heard nothin yet. They are defending everything they did and didn't do.
Yea, that's what you do in a CYA session. Been to a bunch of 'em
Their explanation for NOT using the school buses is coming next.
I missed it...well I assume since the insurance commissioner is up now. What did they say about the buses?
Click on Dept. of Homeland Security & FEMA on Hurricane Katrina Relief (09/08/2005)
Though this may appear to be largely a CYA session, the value is hearing the information from LA officials rather than the version filtered through the MSM or even our own posts and speculations.
Why would the LA Guard use the school buses BEFORE they were deployed.
Who cares if they didn't use them after the disaster.
Although it looks as if Jabbar Gibson could teach them a thing or two about driving on flooded streets.
I guess the Louisiana National Guard is no longer under the gag order to keep their mouths shut. Or does the exemption only apply to CYA efforts?
That bit about the buses is a bit hard to swallow. If that's their excuse for going after FEMA, asking them Tues or Weds for 500 buses is a bit much. Considering how fast they arrived afterwards. Again, why didn't they use the school buses. If a 20 year old kid can drive one when he's never driven one before, why couldn't they find people to drive them?
You know what this sounds like to me? This sounds like President Bush being exceptionally kind to the mayor and governor.
The forced disarmament of citizens who were holed up in the upscale neighborhoods which didn't flood, perhaps? Those folks are sitting ducks in their nice homes as we speak, and those orders didn't come from the Feds!!
