OK, I'll bite. Send me the post.
I thought the cranky post was from another poster. I must have piggybacked on yours. Sorry.
"To: LdSentinal
"When did Fallujah become more safer than NO?"
ON Monday!!
Did anyone just see the report on MSNBC about the convention center. They have NO supplies there FGS. It's something I cannot imagine, where is the water? Food?
It's criminal at this point that the police just pass by without any word of when help will come."
It's hard to comprehend, but it looks like the city officials told them to assemble there, and then just forgot about them ever since. They said they haven't seen or heard a word since they were told to go there, and clearly no food or water drops either.
Serious answer. It's Mr. President to you.
The President had to call the Mayor of NO and tell him to evacuate. Before then, all he and the governor did was twiddle their thumbs, that would be AFTER they got their own families out.
........
All the mayor did, was say he couldn't call for a full city evacuation and he was constantly asking his "lawyers" what to do, legal advise. End of story. LA's officials were and are woefully inept to lead an ant farm let alone a city or state.
There is nothing to misread. It is absolutely amazing to me that you and the other poster are trying to claim that I am writing off all other devastation other than NO. Utterly amazing. At the same time both of you you do it, you make my own argument by saying the people are damn glad they aren't in NO.
Utterly amazing.
"they are convinced I'm part of the conspiracy too, for what it's worth"
Can I join up?
I saw that video. He walked away and he should have because it was an idiotic and stupid question by the press. Shep looked like an utter fool.
Good point. Further, there may be a few TROPists on the ground. Imported, or jail-bred. Who'd shoot at a rescue helo?
We do disaster training all the time in my profession. We don't expect our victims to wear signs. You must be kidding. This situation has been horridly mishandled and lots of people are dying because of it.
I'm not waiting, because you won't find it;) It was just your misread on this horribly *slow* thread due to those friggin dialup users...
Honestly, My FRiend, when I see moms with babies sweltering with no water, I have to cry.
No one deserves this, no one.
And why, if Sheppard Smith and NBC news can get on the streets, why didn't they bring some water with them?? /rant off/
Sec. Chertoff is on CNN and he's really spinning this badly. He's essentially saying that FEMA is struggling because of the unprecedented scale of the disaster...a catastrophic flood in a major US city and hurricane damage along the gulf coast.
Sorry, this is a load of BS. It's not like this result wasn't predicted in the wake of a cat4/5. It was predicted up to a year before the actual event. The feds have really dropped the ball. Five days after the event people are still being raped, bodies still rotting, looters still looting and people still dying in public. And don't give any excuses about local incompetence hindering efforts. Thats a cop-out. Given local incompetence, the Feds should have been in override mode from the moment Blanco started having a breakdown on live TV.
This is a huge debacle on every level.
I don't think anyone prepositioned enough assets to deal with the flooding of New Orleans, yet we've all been aware that a major hurricane would sink the city, especially in light of Ivan's near-miss last year.
Actually I had the same thought about the Astro Dome.
Glad to know you are okay and have checked in with all of us with your daily report.

Sometimes it'll just drop ya.
Hit 'play' again until it works...
The homeless in Houston tried it this AM, evidently.
This is turning into an opportunity for Jackson and Sharpton to slam Bush. No matter how many people are saved now, no matter what they do for the refugees, Bush will take a hit.
My immediate concern is to take care of the good people who are staffing that hospital.
The Nation will have to deal with what to do with the NO refugees after this is over, because EVEN if they did evacuate, they'd still be homeless and unemployed, just like the rest of those poor souls in Biloxi, Gulfport, etc...God Help Us.
