They tried to turn away some people in Houston already from the storm when they opened the Astrodome for just the Superdome refugees but let some in.
There are also homeless in Houston showing up and asking for relief (with nothing to do with the storm).
This was reported on the Laura Ingraham show via Dan Patrick in Houston this morning.
Me?
Congressman Alexander(R) - "I'm afraid that it has turned into something more than anyone could anticipate, we're going to need the military."
Was there a freeper who didn't anticipate and warn about this? And if we saw the need for the military in there before the hurricane ever struck, so did most Americans.

Holy cow.
the feds are not responsible for maintaining civil order. its the governor that has failed in this regard.
The true radicals and anarchists must be salivating right now...this is their ideal scenario for revolution on a national scale. As soon as it's opportune this whole disaster will be cast as the grand racial conspiracy to last for the next 50 years.
CNN: Pentagon announces that 4200 military policy are going to be deployed to New Orleans. That's good. Why wasn't that done yesterday?
