"For 72 hours this police department and the fire department and handful of citizens were alone rescuing people. We have people who died while the National Guard sat and played cards. I understand why we are not winning the war in Iraq if this is what we have."

What an ass, didn't he see the Coast Guard choppers pulling people off roofs?

Maybe Riley was in Baton Rouge with the mayor...

And I didn't see pics of the NOPD rescuing anyone, by car, boat, A/C or pure bravery!

Shoot I figured the police and fire choppers were in the lot with the buses... I never saw them rescuing people once.

Don't know about anyone else but I will not donate to any fund that is helping New Orleans and people like this.

My donation was sent to help out MS. Wouldn't mind sending money to help out surrounding communities of NO, but I don't feel like giving one red cent to NO proper. They have played the race card and put the blame once too often on the Feds when it is their own gross incompetence not to mention the thrill of looting from a lot of the NO people who stayed just to loot.

Maybe if the media didn't pander so much to New Orleans and paid more attention to other disaster areas, these people would learn they are not the center of the universe and the race card is wearing thin on a lot of people.

To say that about our Guard troops in Iraq is irresponsible and despicable.
