The title says it all. NBC News is currently reporting on "Missed Opportunities" -- actions that could have saved lives. One of those missed opportunities is the 200+ flooded school buses. NBC is even referring to the evacuation plan and its reference to the school buses.
"Today the mayor would not comment [on the flooded school buses]," reported NBC's Lisa Myers.
I kid you not! The report is only five or six days after Free Republic reported it, and only three or four days after Drudge reported it!
When did george know about the buses? why didn't he order them into action?
New Orleans body count high -> BUSH'S FAULT
New Orleans body count much lower than expected -> Nagin becomes a saint!
The media is coming around some. They know they can't go balming GWB nonstop. ABC WNT just did a piece on who's to blame and they mainly focused on the local government and their failed evacuation plans.
Wow.
Next story by NBC news....."Rove team sent to cut the break lines on all of these buses, before the storm".
WOW!!!
WOW. NBC no less. I am not impressed but hey its one small step.
That's Erie!
Thanks NBC (NOT) that the origional information was from FreeRepublic.
Yes, they could have got this info on their own, but they didn't. It took FreeRepublic.com to tell the world.
Thank you to the Freeper that initially did it. If anyone could identify that Freeper it would be appreciated.
Yaaaaaaaa, FR did it again and now it is becoming national news.
"Like I said, Hell Froze Over."
This explains my feet feeling cold!
Those buses are impossible to ignore. They are all over the internet. Another storm is coming, and its not a hurricane.
Now if the Detroit Lions win the SuperBowl, I'll really know the world is about to come to an end.
Not even the LSM (formerly, the MSM) can ignore the truth for very long.
Again, as felloe FReeper, OldFriend, said:
A BLUE DRESS MOMENT!!!
you better run outside quick and catch some of those $100 bills falling from the sky before your neighbors grab 'em all!
Below is the first post I have seen about the buses on DemocratUnderground forum...
"I gotta say one thing....I just don't understand why those school busses......weren't used to evacuate the poor. It's not something that we are talking about here, at least not as far as I've seen. The Bush/FEMA/military response to this disaster has been righteously slammed....but, what about those busses? Or city transit busses? I don't know, WAS an effort made, at the local level to evacuate the poor who had no other transportation?"
LOL I love it!
I always thought Lisa Meyers had character.
"Today the mayor would not comment [on the flooded school buses]," reported NBC's Lisa Myers.
Telling.
(did the part in the brackets really refer specifically to the buses?)
Naw, I don't believe it.
