 New Orleans Mayor Suggests CIA May Take Him Out Over His Criticism of Federal Efforts (CNN) -- Nagin and Blanco have both certainly lost control of both themselves and the situation.  He probably found out sometime after Bush calmed him down that the BUS PICTURE has been on Drudge's site for two days now. Quite a damning piece of evidence.

 Did you hear the phone call just on MSNBC from the lady who was just rescued today from Slidell?
It was very disturbing. (At least it will be for a lot of people when we start hearing MORE of these stories.)
The people banned together, went to a mall, lived out of the food court, formed a "semi-government/town," had rules, policed themselves. Saved themselves.
Quite unlike what happened in the SuperDome/Convention Center.

 "As many as 100,000 inner-city residents didn't have the means to leave and an untold number of tourists were stranded by the closing of the airport, so the city arranged buses to take people to 10 last-resort shelters, including the Superdome." Link

 Following is a link, from blogger GEA3, that will give you an idea how much the Clinton folks like Witt did for flood control in Louisiana. Here is a taste of what the Clinton administration did in 1995 thru 2000: US Left: All Straws Clutched, Every Barrel Scraped A sample from 1995: Clinton administration officials argue that the flood-control efforts are local projects, not national, and should be paid for by local taxes.

 News Flash -- New Orleans Left to the Dead and Dying

 

 Do You Know What It Means to Lose New Orleans? (Paranoia Runs deep) -- We didn't call you Sin City. We called you Mogadishu on the Mississippi.

 Will somebody PLEASE get Guliani out front to explain who is supposed to do what in an emergency and why 9-11 went so smooth. It seems the dems are too stupid to connect the dots by themselves.

 At some point in time all of these lunatics have got to realize, as much as they hate the President and the military, it takes time to mobilize forces of the size needed to address a catastrophe of this size. It is the STATE GOVERNMENT'S responsiblity to take care of it's citizens in the meantime. The governor not allowing help in, in a timely manner and the mayor of NO not evacuating everyone in a timely manner are only the start of how these incompetent leaders failed their constituents.

The area of destruction is larger than 90,000 square miles. The entire island nation of Cuba is only 42,000 square miles.

 

 Left Wing moonbats still at it with Hurricane Katrina & racist conspiracies -- We need to give these people the biggest microphone we can find and just get out of the way and let them speak...

 

 Bob Parks interview in San Francisco Chronicle on "Looting" -- NBC live showing extensive fires in NO.
Extensive as in block after block, fully involved along the riverfront.
Could use any long range aerial stills people have, looking to see how close we are to the knuckle in the curve.
