"The snipers are the bad guys. The snipers are what is keeping the firefighters trapped."

we have 10000 dead in NO and no reports of anyone getting hit by a sniper.

there are hours of footage of firemen and police at a french quarter fire - no snipers.

This sniper smoke and mirrors is delaying relief that can save hundreds of lives.

There were reports of snipers all over though. At police, at firemen, and at rescue vehicles.

I think its being exaggerated, and because of that they are delaying all that help for the hundreds stranded.

I guess you missed the Steve Harrigan report at that location with gunfire, that had a fire burning, where police and guard teams had to move in.

the french quarter has the best security details, that is no secret, and not surprising. its also not under water.

Span, just off the top of my head, there was the Soldier shot the first night by the dome (documented by all authorities/press), two officers shot and medivac-ed near the boat ramp (came over command channel scanner), the ferry pilot shot, and two instances of gunfire live on camera this morning, plus at least one report of the helo sustaining small arms damage. These are just ones I remember off the top of my head with no research. The gangsta snipers are really there.

You must be high. There have been MANY reports of people (cops, rescue workers) getting hit by snipers.

The Coast Guard has had to stand down a number of copters because of bullet damage.

Nope... it's not the smoke and/or mirrors. It's pretty much the gunfire. But thanks for playing!

Guess you missed seeing the shootout in front of the building that was on fire yesterday on FOX.
