I am beginning to think this is much, mucuh worse than we realize...all because the press is STUCK ON STUPID! (I love that line.)<p.If we are gettting aid from Cuba and such, things must be a lot worse than we think.
Maybe someone should send Timmy this article and how shortly after Aaron's breakdown on his show plans (of sorts) were being made to let the citizens back into his Parrish.
I think they know they can't tar the president with letting New Orleans folks building on that contaminated site that is now poisoning the Gulf.
And that is FREAKING them out.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm keeping a list.
that's an easy one - why doesn't FEMA have 100,000 porta-sans that they could bring in within 24 hours of the hurricane striking. I mean, that's easy to do, isn't it?
We'll see about Houston too.
We had a poster on this thread last night who sounded very credible. 9 rapes at the Dome in Houston.
I can EASILY see police departments across the nation suppressing this information.
If it gets out what animals some of these people are, who will take them?
I really like his reporting too.
They were being raped in New Orleans. When has it been reported that there have been rapes in Houston?
Listen to this: Cuba has offered 1600 Doctors and medical personnel per WESH tv out of Daytona

Mexico is sending 100,000 laborers to fix the levees and clean up N.O.
Best news.............they came in before Katrina hit Florida.

Being a former Atlanta gal, i have no sense of humour about 'racists' and wouldn't think of making a joke about racism -- we don't joke about rope in the house of the hanged, as the old saying goes.
In a better world that might have been funny.
Would you want the help of a "Doctor" trained in a communist country?
Please convey our thanks and love for him. We're praying for them all, and despite the damn politicians we're going to help these people in whatever they need and rebuild our country. We apprecate them, all our troops and rescue workers and our President.
That is such a beautiful story about that woman too.
I LOVE that man. I see how he gets the John Wayne nickname! Wonder if he wants to run for President?
We've been running rescue ops for days. The TCA order came down last week. It's the new NTA (notice to airmen) I'm worried about. Not because it has to be bad, but because I simply can't come up with an explanation.
When things don't fit, flags go up. The flag is up and I'm hoping for a positive explanation.

HPD being the Houston Police Department. There have been no rapes in the Texas shelters. I believe your original post said that there had been nine rapes in the Houston shelters.
Now, the NO/LA shelters? Yeah, rapes, murders, and assaults, I'd believe that.
Last night on this live thread. I don't know what time this thread got "changed"; it does periodically get a new thread when the posts get over 5,000+.
Someone who was a relief worker talked about the rapes and bathrooms that had already been nearly destroyed.
Knockoffs seized by Customs going to victims
The Yves St. Laurent and Tommy Hilfiger labels may be phony, but the thousands of Hurricane Katrina victims getting knockoff items seized by federal customs officials probably don't mind.
Displaced survivors in the Houston Astrodome can choose from counterfeit and abandoned clothing, toys, and even dog food.
More than 100,000 items were quickly taken from warehouses and more will follow, said Kristi Clemens, spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security's Customs and Border Protection division.
The agency has some 1 million items stored, and Customs officials are going through their inventory to see what else would be useful. While the initial shipment went to Texas, officials are looking toward a wider distribution, Clemens said.
For humans, virtually anything that you can wear is available: underwear, jeans, baseball caps, T-shirts, shoes and socks. For dogs: much needed food. For children, toys. For everyone: clean sheets and blankets.
Clemens said officials are looking for locations to deliver items in Louisiana and Mississippi, and then will scout for shelters in other states.
American businesses lose up to $250 billion annually from knockoffs, according to figures released in a Senate hearing. Federal officials seized $138 million in counterfeited goods last year, up from $94 million in 2003.
Counterfeit clothing currently accounts for about 18 percent of seized items.
Law enforcement officials and other experts have testified that counterfeit clothing and other goods have been traced to supporters of terror organizations.
Most counterfeit items come from China, the United Arab Emirates, Pakistan and Russia, according to Customs officials
Fascinating photo. It looks like the west bank streets were dry. No drivers with valid union cards and commercial drivers licenses available I guess. / sarc
