"Um, maybe because they were under THREE FREAKIN' FEET OF WATER? "

Uh, people we saying why didnt he deploy them during the evacuation *prior* to the hurricane, and/or at least get them to higher ground.

Even without that, why is he asking for greyhounds, when the state of Louisiana surely has buses galore used in public transit and school systems that could ride to the rescue.

"To say that they should have been moved to high ground before the storm is hindsight B.S."

Not really, a storm surge was expected that would flood new orleans. It was anticipated.

I agree. I heard Franklin Graham last night say that they need to take the able bodied men that are in the shelters and put them to work. Bus them down to NO and get them to work cleaning up and re-building, with pay. But at least give them a way to get back their lives. The looting doesn't surprise me, but the killing and raping does. I just don't understand. Also, I heard that the dr's and nurses in a certain hospital had to watch out for snipers while they were evacuating their patients. I don't get it.

That's like the ingrate who was bussed to the Houston astrodome and then complained about the food.

What shall we do, send her back? Send her a bill?
Apparently these beggars feel they can be choosers.

Geraldo reported on O'Reilly that this Mayor moved 400 people (foreigners, and whoever else) from where he was staying at one of the hotels, and had them bussed to the Superdome and put them AT THE HEAD OF THE LINE, and made sure they were moved to safety. Never mind those who have been waiting in absolute misery for 4 days. That sure says a lot about that mayor and he has the audacity to blame the Federal Government? Hey mayor, the chain of command is, city, state, then federal. Not only that the federal government cannot come until they are asked to.

Nagin squandered his moment of opportunity to be a hero; squandered his opportunity to be the spark to ignite those things that are noble, courageous, abd gallant.

Nagin, a failed hero, encouraged no one, urged no one, to "become" that legend of his time....a star to shine from this darkess and forever into the future.

Instead, Nagin's tale, and, therefore, New Orleans', is overwhelmingly one of derision, of blame, of cowardice, and of vulgarity.

Just compare how this guy responded versus Giuliani's response to 9.11.01.

A lot of those busses would prolly start up and run if they're only sitting in 3ft of water. The oil pan is prolly 2-3ft of the ground, so little of the engine would be submerged. There isn't much electronics with diesel engines. The only thing I'd be concerned about would be the starter.

ty....those thoughts have been in my mind most of today.

And it's a shame that those are the kind of thoughts we will be left with from this tragedy.

"Nagin squandered his moment of opportunity to be a hero"

You are so right.

The morals and ethics of this man(and the party he represents) are now apparent to the entire world, and especially when compared with how Giuliani(a dreaded Republican) reacted on 9/11/2001.

These filthy mouthed self serving democrats like Nagin only keep proving our point!
