That is ok, CNN can do all they want to cover up the messup by the Dems in charge,but even as we speak there are Archivists working to document the whole screwup and the eventual takeover of the Feds to get the job done. MSM will never rule the roost again.
lol thanks, don't blame me, but it's true, Wes Clark and one other, I didn't catch the name, too stunned when I heard Clark's name!
Yes. They are having a hard time working westward from Mobile the destruction is so massive. Slidell is in a bad place. And, of course, they can't work eastward from NO. Also... the destruction is two miles and more inland all through that swath from Slidell to Biloxi. Massive undertaking.
I am so glad to see your post about the barges. We saw very early on pics of a barge in the industrial canal that had gone through the levee. Some reporter saw it and the thing had gone thru to the other side. Then I never heard about it. The barge was being worked on.
Yep - like the mayor's screeching about needing boots on the ground NOW appears in this special to have been on Tuesday, not Thursday or Friday (which is when I think he made his "bleeping" speech.)
And no misery is attributed to thugs but rather to a sudden, late, unexpected turn of the storm.
NautiNurse, I ditto what someone wrote way up thread about making a book out of all the Katrina threads. Once you eliminate the sniping it might be a thin book, LOL.
why is violence, or the threat of violence, always a perceived solution to problems like this? what are they going to do, start shooting their neighboors, starting looting and burning. what the hell for?
They may know what "shame" means, but they don't know what it is.
$$$$$
What a true statement. That is why they are quick to point out failings of a conservative, and do not feel in the least hypocritical when doing so.
We here in Vicksburg, have at least one police car at all gas stations to control the lines and maintain order, but even with their presence, tempers are flaring.
You are right, I had forgotten Bob Sheets - good guy, too. I just remember more clearly the "gyrations" and the messages Neil Frank was trying to get across before he got the hook.
Do you want to finish NO off? Clark? Good grief!
Tucker Carlson FINALLY brings up how corrupt the city and state officials are. Lib Harry Shearer agrees totally.
Someone mentioned it, but it hasn't been confirmed. If true, the MSM has had better things to do. Try to take down the President and whitewash the failure of Nagin and Blanco.
Yes, I had read that - tragic.
I don't understand the violence. I waited in gas lines twice on Wednesday for a total of 5 hours and both times the gas station pumps ran dry before I got to them. I was very aggravated, to say the least, but violence never crossed my mind. However, it is happening regularly here in the gas lines. The schools are closed indefinitely because the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency has commandeered all of the gas set aside for school buses. People are being told that they must come to work or lose their jobs, but there is no public transportation in the metro area outside the city limits of Jackson and many people commute 40-50 miles a day to go to work. I guess people are just stressed out. Still, that is no excuse for running over a police officer's foot or beating a woman with a tire iron simply because her car ran out of gas in a gas line and blocked the people behind her, allowing others to break in line.
Who's achieving all evidence? I'd like to thank them. Also curious what they are archiving specifically.
yall won't believe what the local Baton Rouge anchor just said on the local news.
He was covering people rushing out buying handguns and how it just amazed him that people were buying 9 mm guns. He said if you really needed a gun against those guys in NO that ou needed an AK or something big.
I was amazed. Where can we get AK's??
I can't beleive how the tone has changed on Fox. They act like they're in the winning locker room at the super bowl. It IS quite heartening.
