FNC just read an e-mail from General Honoree. He said the military is in NO for a purely relief function and does not participate in law enforcement (thanks to the lackluster Governor).

You have got to be kidding..

No joke. It was a great memo. But I should be clear, the comment about the lackluster Governor was mine, not Honorees.

But he really put the wood to the New Orleans police, imo, and indirectly to the mayor and Governor by making it clear that the military can't participate in law enforcement or forcing people to leave their homes. That is up to the New Orleans cops, he said.

That's going to be nearly impossible given so many cops have left town -- they can't possibly get 10,000+ people out of their homes by force AND provide law enforcement.

That Governor is going to rue the day she didn't comply with the president's wishes.

Good Morning. I think I've established a bad habit.... getting up mid morning. I will probably loose my Dawn Patrol credentials.

kassie, thanks for replying to my question about the availability of gasoline on your trip to KS. I was just curious.

Peach, thanks for posting the article verifying the Friday thing. I was so sure it was the Friday BEFORE the storm, then when others said it was Last Friday, I thought, "Well, maybe so". Glad to have that question resolved.
