I agree and the time will come for blame. Right now we need positive reinforcement to get thru this and get it accomplished.
HOOAH
Not really. Likely started contingency planning a week ago, and firmed up starting on Tuesday. It takes a few days to execute.
"Looks to be a huge military mobilization within 24 hours of Bush's visit. Coincidence?"
If they're getting on-scene now, that means that the actual "mobilization" was 24-48 hours ago. It takes TIME to move assets and get unpacked/setup/organized.
24-48 hours is really pushing it, and shows a heroic effort on the part of our military.
Lots of Chinook and other helicopters moving people from the COnvention Center to the airport. Massive relocation relief underway.
Actually you are wrong. I am not on here 27/7 = I have a life. But I did go to sleep reading your complaing and to see you still at it is way too much. Stop with it already.
Brown is saying people who want to lash out, let them lash out. That's okay with him. He's on mission. Sounds alot like the POTUS and that he clearly has the support of the POTUS.
COOL, thanks
Yes, the Gulf Coast of MS got horribly brutalized. I'm sure there's damage and destruction further upstate, as well.
Shep is from Holly Springs (up north, near Memphis) and it would have been nice to see him report on some of the happenings up there. Would have lent some more credence to his " … what used to be Mississippi" comment.
But that's just carping at this point.
Thank you for your response to NittanyLion. I know that people will insist that it took the President to actually show up for the assistance to show up. Someone on the news last night complained why we could get troops into Iraq in 24 hours, not into NO. I challenge anyone out there to load up the supplies that the NG has loaded up and get anywhere in 24 hours (well, except outside their own home base, :-)).
You are right. I saw the photo... but it looked liked supplies for a few thousand. There were up to 20-30 thousand at the Convention Center. They started getting things there yesterday but the situation was just so horrid and there were so many dead and dying the only thing that would help them was to get them out of there. Praise God that is finally happening.
They first brought food and water, and now they are airlifting everyone out.......all filing in an orderly manner, many smiling.
It's just AWESOME! Praise GOD for this country, and for our incredible military!
This is awesome!!
I'd like to see footage today of them getting food, water and information. I haven't seen it yet and I want to - I watched this everyday, every channel.
The guys & gals of the Coast Guard have also done one hell of a job - I decided sometime mid week not to give to the Red Cross but to double my monthly donation to the USO
Can you just imagine how they must be feeling? Thank God someone is finally in charge and getting this done.
you need to start patronizing other restaurants.
Yeah, perhaps they were already mobilizing prior to yesterday's visit. My thought was that Bush saw the disarray on the ground and really "motivated" some folks to get their butts in gear.
btw, write a GOOD sermon! ;)
