It worked!

I hope that sooner or later the MSM discovers that New Orleans did have a written emergency plan to cover the evacuation of the poor, but that the idiot mayor of New Orleans ignored it, and allowed the evacuation buses to be ruined by the flood, forgotten.

The city leaders had at least two full days to use these hundreds of buses to evac the poor, exactly as their own emergency management plan called for.

This is the equivalent of the media blaming the Titanic disaster on the slow arrival of the rescue ships, while totally ignoring the Titanic's lifeboat issue.

Here's the southeast Louisiana evac plan supplement, most recently revised in 2000. Go to page 13, read paragraph 5. It states:

5. The primary means of hurricane evacuation will be personal vehicles. School and municipal buses, government-owned vehicles and vehicles provided by volunteer agencies may be used to provide transportation for individuals who lack transportation and require assistance in evacuating.

Travis ...mark my words the calls for the Katrina Commission will fizzle now that questions are being asked about those buses and the emergency plan being igmored.

That's a great analogy.

What a mess. Those babies are leaking fuel.

WTG!

Travis and Paleo thanks for your pioneering work and effort to get the documentation and pictures out.

The documentation of Nagin's failure to use the buses and the pictures are all over the nation and the world.

Again the internet and Free Republic gets the truth out in spite of the MSM and the lying spinning rats.
