Have there been any further reports of oil leaks south of the city?

I saw a couple of fragmentary reports yesterday afternoon, but nothing since.

But I (yes, cynically) think Geraldo has his own agenda. He WILL take credit for this.

Possibly. Cheesy Whorealdo will pompous his way through it. But, I'm glad reporters like him and Shep are there. It may have taken even longer.

The very same military the left hates - rather ironic isn't it. Like your tagline - we're a military family too.

Actually, from what I reaid, it had to lose about 10-20 panels before it would collapse. One or two of the "panels" that came off was actually an inspection/maintenance hatch and was not structural anyway.

I agree, but can you imagine if there were multiple huge terror attacks (nuclear, dirty, etc) in our country.

I'm wondering if it wouldn't start a complete war here. If the terrorist plan it right and pick the correct cities ones that have lots of poor people in them already. I shudder at the thought.

Our enemies are watching, and we look (and are) unprepared.

"They don't normally "bury" people in NO. The water table is too high. So, they have to move them out."

I read that in FR, earlier this week, now that I think about it. Thanks. FR has been the best source of news all week.

At the time Geraldo made the report,those people had food and water. That is a FACT. He reported otherwise.

It was the police chief who said no food, no water. I think he meant "out of food, out of water" as the relief supplies had been depleted.

That info is correct too. People are buried above ground in New Orleans. Jeepers. But they won't even be able to do the mass graves I suspect.

I saw the report live. I didn't see anyone with water in their hands, or eating.

Do you have a link for the facts about the food and water distribution to the hwy overpasses?

Thanks

I think she was truly caught in a situation that swamped anything she could imagine dealing with. Watching this this week has made me wonder: how many of your employers have a solid plan to deal with a disaster in terms of what happens to their employees? I know mine doesn't. We have been doing "business continuity" this year. They gloss over the check-in part, if you can, assuming you are around. But they don't go into detail.

Now take that to a city block scale, a city scale, a state scale. How many cities or states our there (besides Florida, they seem to have the system down pretty darn good) can do it?

I take back my shot on Rivera a bit earlier. Geraldo Rivera responding to a question from Neil Cavuto on whether they can finish evacuatiog the Convention Center by tonight - "If they can keep up this pace, they have a realistic possibility.....

"I estimate that they're taking out 100 people every 5 minutes." Bubbling again on how how well the armed forces are doing.

He did some great reporting, step by step of her failures and had some military analysts come in and back him up on it.

I'm sticking to that story until I see some statesmanship and honesty on the part of the Dems.
