Mandatory evacuation ordered for New Orleans (Please keep this post - BUSH ORDERED EVACUATION!)

NOLA ^ | 8/28/05

[areafiftyone]

Gov. Kathleen Blanco, standing beside the mayor at a news conference, said President Bush called and personally appealed for a mandatory evacuation for the low-lying city, which is prone to flooding.

A taz original.

Kudos from you is high praise indeed.

I'm gonna tag line it.

Pretty sobering photos...and then there were the city buses he could have used. ANYthing to get the people out of a town that he KNEW was in danger.

"Coward" is about the only word that comes to mind, especially when I saw him foaming at the mouth and blaming Bush. Totally disgusting behavior from a City Father.

Cool, and thanks!

It angers me to no end to see those photos of the buses in Lake Nagin sitting in lineup in their neat orderly rows.
There is no excuse for those buses to still be sitting there at all.

Dunno who started the term "Lake Nagin" for the pond the buses are sitting in, but I saw Martin use it first.

Naaah, I ripped it off from somewhere, too.

[Darksheare]

LOL, you too?

Well, I ripped it off from you.
;-)

When they get the breach in the levee fixed they can rename
Pontchartrain...Lake Nagin

Good job on the troll.

Man the DU/rat electronic brownshirts have been all over this site the past few days as Freepers keep nailing the worthless mayor and governor with their own words and lack of action.

[Carolinamom]

John Kerry kept telling us that HE had a plan too. However, he couldn't tell us BEFORE he was elected to the Presidency. Remember that ianity? He STILL hasn't revealed his "plan"........illusion all along like NO's, which cost S500,000.

[Darksheare]

LOL, that would be fitting.

[Darksheare]

Thanks, it has been a group effort, spread across multiple threads.
These guys have been everywhere.
And they've been foaming wildly about it.

[granite]

bttt

[Grampa Dave]

The word has gotten out that Freepers are doing the same thing to the lying and spinning MSM re Katrina what we did to Blather and Mapes.

We are ferreting out all types of hard data that shows how incompetent the Mayor and Governor were and still are. Also, the public is not buying the MSM spin to blame GW.

They are in full panic at this time and are trying to destroy our threads and documentation with bs like this.

It will not work.

[Darksheare]

I know.
And I am glad that there are so many people on the ball on this.

[longtermmemmory]

BUMP!

OLD MEDIA CAN"T HIDE THE TRUTH!

[patriciamary]

I do not think so.What did you want the federal government to do?

[LowNslow]

New Orleans Hurricane Evacuation Plan on city website calls for mandatory evacuation to begin 72hrs prior to hurricane arrival. Plan includes use of school and city buses, and other public vehicles to evacuate those without transportation.

Mayor call for evacuation 18 hrs before Hurricane Katrina hit, but only after Hurricane Center and White House pleaded for action.

Why did Mayor not have families of police and other emergency service personnel evacuated to safe locations.
Hard to get people to report and stay on duty when family is in danger.

From my past experience, it takes Guard 48-72 hours to get completely into the action. Why did the LA Gov not have a majority of Guard called up and ready to move out before cat 5 Hurricane Katrina hit.

[Freee-dame]

What help did the President offer LA LAST Saturday? He declared a State of Emergency ... What happened? .... NOTHING .....

Once Pres. Bush had declared the State of Emergency, FEMA began prepositioning water, food, shelter, medicine near the path of the hurricane. Of course it was not in the path of the hurricane, but close by. No one predicted that rescue helicopters and boats would get shot at when they attempted to get into NO.

When the Mayor's early response to the looting was understanding for people who had been oppressed for so long, I feared NO was in for a bad time. This looting and comment came almost as soon as the hurricane had passed through. No one was starving hours after the hurricane passed.
