Where the HELL are the Marines? Gov Blanco, just what do you think 300, THREE ZERO ZERO armed National Guard troops can do to solve this level of chaos? You have the authority Gov. Send in thousands more armed troops or ASK President Bush to send in the regular Military. YOU have the authority. USE IT. If you will not, GET OUT OF THE WAY.

The Gov. is having to ask, What Would Catrro Do?

Check this out:

“FEMA Director Michael Brown said his agency just learned about the situation at the convention center Thursday and scrambled to provide food, water and medical care and remove the corpses.”

From an AP article dated 9/3/2005.

Look at Gov Blanco and tell me if she reminds you of another despicable, do-nothing 'rat you know.

Gov. Mindo Blanko is way out of her depth on this one. However, I am curious. What authority does the President have in a situation like this. Can he send in troops without a request from the state Governor?
