I understand. It was just a knee jerk reaction. Sorry. I'm moving fast trying to get something done.
Line of responders waiting to enter New Orleans area.
I'm not sure how much more of this B.S. I can take. There are so many military down there it's not even funny. This is all orchestrated by Hitlery and Bill.
God bless the US Navy. My baby brother is on the USS Harry Truman and I couldn't be prouder.

Have been in rescues and disasters all over the world but the TV coverage is sad for reasons other than the destruction.
Just channel surfing before going back to Fox, the network with some common sense still left. I am ashamed about what I am seeing from CNN and now PMSNBC. Do you people have no shame. You can not even have a benefit concert with out turning it into a phony, name calling Cindy Sheehan Moon Bat debacle. PMSNBC what was that crying blubbering lunatic that you had on after Bush went to the Red Cross. Now is time for men and women to stand up and be counted. Obviously the man on your rebuttal to the president has mental problems and needs help. Of course your probably don't care as long as you get your biased points across.
I am watching but can tell you that instead of feeling pity I am beginning to rage at the one sidedness of the coverage. Your hatred of Bush is absolutely affecting your judgment. CNN had a special on Larry King Live or should I say a Bush bash.
Have men become so emasculated by women's groups that they must cry like sniveling babies at every adversity. These people in charge need to quit blubbering and start working.
You can call me hard hearted but your hand wringing coverage leaves me no choice except to stand up and act like an adult.
The world is going to hell in a hand basket and you people are sitting around with your fingers in your butts waiting for real men to come to your rescue.
Never heard it put exactly that way before... - lol
Have you seen the article about Sean Penn trying to rescue people using a boat? Problem is, his entourage was so big, including a photographer, there wasn't really room for anyone else.

Saw the Geraldo and Ferlitta interview......I think Geraldo is in love! She made him a hero.
Listening to the local Lubbock station. One of the air crew says he talked to a refuge who says he had to use a shotgun to break through the roof of his attic so he could escape.
Desperate to keep them in LA.
Maybe you could contact your local RED CROSS or TV Station and they could contact Geraldo or Greta?

U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld (R) stands with military rescue workers at the makeshift triage unit at the New Orleans International Airport as evacuations of hurricane Katrina continues, September 4, 2005. New Orleans began the gruesome task of collecting its thousands of dead on Sunday as the Bush administration tried to save face after its botched rescue plans left the city at the mercy of Hurricane Katrina.
not biased at all
OMG LOL LOL..thanks Peach I needed a laugh. I hope Penn gets all kind of diseases being in that water. Bad to hope for such things but I guess I'll deal with that later.

New Orleans Deputy Police Chief W.J. Riley said police shot at eight people, killing five or six.
John Hall, a spokesman for the Army Corps of Engineers, said there were 14 contractors on their way to repair a canal. They were traveling across a bridge under police escort when they were fired upon.
They were on their way to launch barges into Lake Pontchartrain to fix the 17th Street Canal, Hall said.
The shootings took place on the Danziger Bridge, which spans a canal connecting Lake Pontchartrain and the Mississippi River.
No other details were immediately available.
Their words? Damn them; damn them all.

Task Force Pelican Update
TASK FORCE PELICAN
(NATIONAL GUARD FORCES IN LOUISIANA)
OPERATIONS UPDATE FOR 4 SEPTEMBER 2005
Goal is to provide a daily Task Force Pelican update.
National Guard forces continue to pour into Louisiana. There are currently approximately 12,000 National Guard Soldiers and Airmen conducting operations in Louisiana; by 5 September this force will number in excess of 16,000.
The Task Force Pelican Commander's priorities are:
1. Save lives
2. Security, Law and Order
3. Evacuation
.Ill/Special Needs
.General population
4. Support existing critical infrastructure
Preliminary numbers indicate that Task Force Pelican has distributed over 620,000 bottles of water and 320,000 meals to affected citizens. We will be obtaining better numbers over the next few days.
As federal law prohibits active duty military forces from conducting law enforcement activities, the National Guard remains focused on improving security the security environment. The greater military and civilian relief presence, increase in rescues and the completion of evacuation of the Convention Center and Superdome have rapidly improved security throughout the area of operations.
An example of the effectiveness of Task Force Pelican was the securing and evacuating of the Morial Convention Center: LTC Jacques Thibodeaux (Louisiana National Guard) led the Task Force Pelican Security Response Team at 12:00 pm on 2 September to secure the Convention Center; within 30 minutes the center was secure. By 3:00 pm meals were being served. By approximately 7:00 pm on 3 September, less than 30 hours after operations began, 19,000 personnel had been evacuated from the Convention Center.
Search and Rescue are ongoing with aerial and maritime forces. Last 24 hours, 95 critical patient medical evacuations. One UH-60 with hoist was on call through night dedicated to 911 service calls. Task Force Eagle (Air Operations Task Force) reports 1,825 evacuated by National Guard helicopters in last 24 hours. Total of 3,000 evacuated by air by all services and organizations.
One incident of civilian threat (sniping) on military personnel occurred in the Superdome area in the past 24 hours. Law Enforcement mitigated the threat. These types of incidents remain isolated and will lessen as the security posture and presence of military personnel in the region strengthens.
TASK FORCE PELICAN OPERATIONS UPDATE 4 SEPTEMBER 2005
At the direction of Governor Blanco, Major General Bennett Landreneau, Task Force Pelican senior commander, has ordered a significant expansion of the Task Force Pelican area of operations. The movement toward stability in New Orleans and the arrival of additional National Guard troops will enable Task Force Pelican to provide support to 12 additional parishes. Mission coordination and movement of troops to these parishes will begin today; in fact, some of these parishes already have a troop presence. As forces are allocated to the individual parishes, we will provide a troop list. Each parish task force will work directly with the leadership in that parish to determine which missions to conduct. Therefore the type of missions we will be conducting throughout the area of operations will vary by parish. Having our military commanders work directly with parish authorities will significantly increase the responsiveness of our force. The Task Force Pelican organization matrix is attached.
