not sure what the number of guard troops who have actually deployed are. also, do they have combat air capabilities? its going to be hard for them to run all over the city in trucks and small boats to take these guys out, they need helicopter gunships.

Ummm the last couple of nights you might want to re-think that.
It's unclear how many perps vs. how many LE's/troops but at the moment it appears the FF are holding off the criminals on their own. It sounds like a couple of police/deputies may have been shot by the thugs.
Whew! That's a relief!
Haven't seen any recent reports---just exactly where is President Bush at the moment?? Is he still on his fly-over of NO??
If the Scientologists are truly sincere in their wish to help with food, water, and money, bring it on... It's time to save lives, not play games and be self-serving, and that's where I was coming from in my original Tom Cruise/Mission Impossible post. I guess I have knee-jerk reactions when I hear the word Scientologist.
We did the same. Turned off the news and watched comedies from Netflix for an hour or so- came back and turned on the tv to hear that. AAAARGH!
Un-flippin-believable!!!!
No objections here.
There are Blackhawks over the skies of NOLA.

LOL!!!!!!!
FF? Help me out
Doesn't it look like they are burning some of the vintage houses now???
That was Tues. Its Wednesday and Thursday that the vacuum was really exposed. Not sure what you're saying. There have been reports of policeman quitting on the job. Surely you have seen that? Have you not seen the blog reports of desperate hospital workers. Are you suggesting this disaster doesn't need a leader to show leadership and motivate these workers? I haven't a clue what your point is but it probably is not worth wasting time over.
