"Why isn't more of this being reported in the news?"
If they can't fit a fact into the "Bush's Fault" storyline that's been all-the-rage for the past 24 hours, it just didn't happen.
Got up a little while ago after a much-needed break from Cable News, and, yes, even FR - turned on the TV to CNN, and the first thing I heard was, Quote, "The Bush Administration cut funding...." Unquote.
The vultures that have been circling just out of sight are landing and it ain't pretty.
Moreover it provides no direction at all. It does not say, "I have authorized them to use lethal force against any person threatening a rescue worker" (or however you want to phrase it)
I am certain that as soon as a few of these slimeballs are taken out there will be a great flapping of wings and denunciations about why the cops/NG are killing innocent civilians who "only wanted to feed their families".
I should HOPE so!!!!

Anyone shooting the looters will probably also be deemed a racist.
The City was built in a way to control the Port.
The insurers are going to pay for all those buildings....I expect a good many to be torn down. Wonder how much bleach they are going to need to kill all the bacterias and germs. Might by some Clorox stock.
Is that not the case? Doesn't a request have to come from Blanko?
I don't know. It seems to me that the governor is finally showing some guts.
It gets the message out to these thugs that real soldiers are on the streets and ready to do battle with them.
My Seaman Recruit grandson graduates tomorrow at Great Lakes..GO NAVY
I think the liberal hate fest is going to backfire tomorrow on TV...there are lines of troops flooding in on every interstate in every direction....
Someone posted a poster from the San Francisco Earthquake with a proclamation by the mayor: LOOTERS WILL BE KILLED.
The number of looters that would have to have been killed to prevent looting from spreading would pale in comparison with the number of people who have died or will die as a result of looters' lawlessness.
This is to weird. I was talking to a friend about the National Guard doing urban warfare in Iraq over a year ago and we agreed the someday "These Troops" would be turn on us Americans.
Now I don't have a problem with killing the thugs with police or swat two days ago. After all their just thugs.
And I said today what is it going to taking No Ball Kathleen Blanco to let her Swat or NOPD fire on the thugs, but now Blanco was just waiting for the Federal Government to do her dirty work.
In other words BUSH!
You might not be able to see it this small but the cops sticking out the side and back are holding some serious weaponry.
His caption: NOPD in a Fed Ex vehicle.. When you absolutely, positively have to evacuate a city overnight.

I expected them to come in at night to do something about that hospital that has been begging for aid but has thugs shooting at any that come.
At night it is a lot harder for the shooters to see them.
Not according to Freeper Willie Green, the next Governor of Louisiana. See posts Nos. 1194 and 1589 in this thread.
The FEMA director just confirmed to Paula Zahn exactly what I've been saying all day long.
NO never bothered to tell FEMA that people were IN the Convention Center (because they broke in there) and that's why there wasn't any food or water there!
The Convention Center was never designated a shelter!
n this image released by the Department of Defense, members of a military search and rescue team track a rescue effort on the Louisiana coast. The crew is from the Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 28 assigned to the USS Bataan LHD 5
FEMA just heard about the Convention Center today!
"Prioritizing services is one of the toughest jobs in a disaster, but one thing that the managers have to be ready to do is to come out and say 'WAY TOO BIG FOR US' and openly call for everything this country ha"
Reminds me. I caught a bit of a Wed early am interview that dingbat LA Gov. had. When the first big interview was finished a young woman aid was in a crouched position in front of the distraught gov. suciking up kind of and sort of leading her thoughts. I heard the gov. say, and this is nearly verbatim, "..Oh, that's right. I'VE GOT TO CALL THE MILITARY. Thanks for reminding me. I knew there was something I had to do this morning but I forgot it."
I AM NOT KIDDING FOLKS. SOMEONE SHOULD REMEBER THAT AND WHO HAS THE SKILLS COULD GET THAT SEGMENT!! My jaw dropped and I nearly fell out of my chair. It was around 5:30 am Central Time Wed. am.
David Reed and his family, made refugees by Hurricane Katrina, arrive at the Houston Astrodome on Thursday.
