LOL Great idea, but how "pronto" can the Navy get ships there & where would they put people other than the crew.
We need an old ocean liner, or cruise ship. Maybe the one that used to be at Gitmo.
Reports say they do not know where all the breeches are. The city is covered in water and some of us fear that there may be a breech along the river. In fact, they might not be able to tell if there were a breech there. There's just an awful lot of water and may not only be from the lake.
Right...
I would think most people watching that guy Cafferty would see right through such a cheap shot.
Like there's going to be a huge difference if he's at his Oval Office desk?
Jimmy Carter never left his desk when the Mullahs in Iran took our people. A lot of good that did him (and them).
"To: conservative cat; jeffers
seriously we have an offer from Iran?"
Yes.
CSPAN is rebroadcasting both the President's speech where he will return tomorrow, and Blanco talking about impassible interstates, a lot of rooftops, the TV coverage, the breaching of two drainage levees causing the problem. She noted the Dome population is growing with the rescued, and there is insufficient stuff there, so they are working with FEMA to plan (ha!) how to get people out of the untenable situation. Landrieu (?) said St. Bernard, parts of Tammany, etc had more water than she had ever seen, in NO East people on rooftops, etc. She asked those already evacuated to wait for search and rescue to get done first, as every boat is being used to evacuate people.
She said the tsunami area is equivalent to the Indonesian tsunami area, with places that have gone and highways that have vanished, and thousands may not have food, water or shelter.
Another speaker said this is THE most destructive and tragic event in LA.
If watching CNN means watching Cindy and Cafferty, then I'll go back to Fox!
I was responding to a comment asking why FEMA wasn't working on getting ships into the NO area. My response was simply to point out that we don't really know what FEMA is working on or not, so it's not really worth wondering why they're "not working" on anything in particular.
Exactly. Therein lies the problem. An even WORSE problem - short term - is that even if all the stupid environazi regulations were waived today and ground broken tomorrow for new refineries, it will 3 to 5 years to get them online if fastracked. No quick fixes there.
We STILL need new refineries.
But they won't give us the instant gratification we crave.
Back to playing catch up....
You mean like the POS on CNN that was
taking snipes at President Bush?
"Whare is the president?"
"Is he still in Crawford?"
The POS that made those cracks?
Me too. Him and his children. :(
Blizer mentions on CNN stuation room if we will have enought troops to handle the task. Are they preparing us for the Blue Helmets?
I remember the President went to NYC only 2-3 days after the attacks. I think this is what is needed now. I am sure the White House is thinking about it, but do not want to pressure the system there as it is due to aerial safety concerns (they'd have to declare it no-fly during the President's air tour).
This is not only the right thing to do and we would have him do it for those reasons alone, you can be sure the libs and socialists' lips will drip with sarcasm in about 24 hours if he DOESN'T do it.
I wish FOX had better coverage I'd switch back.
Here ya go:

So some of us may see your crush as strangely compelling.
As a resident of the Gulf Coast, I care deeply about what has happened. I am also interested in Iraq, Roberts nomination, etc. Along with all my neighbors we are housing and feeding a large family who evacuated here from New Orleans.
It has been dark...so windy leaves are all over the ground...and if this is Katrina after days onland...and a thousand miles from the gulf...MY GOSH...WHAT WAS THIS STORM LIKE UP CLOSE AT A CAT 4?

You know that Howlin is a girl, don't you?
