"...and keep up the good work."

Well not in THAT bird. That in itself is tragic to think of all the folks it could still be rescueing.

That's one thing i was thinking about when all these people complain about the feds not moving in soon enough, etc. It seemed like the Coasst guard was there right away, but for the NG to get there it wasn't just getting "boots on the ground", it was getting helicopters and boats and all the other specialized gear. For Hurricane Andrew the NG was on the ground on the fourth day. For Hurricane Katrina the NG was on the ground, in the air and in the water on the fourth day. God bless these "Weekend Warriors".

Interesting...Joe Scarborough is speculating (aka known as fact in the MSM) the chopper "may" have been shot down...

Every time I think I can't despise them more...
