Much more tonnage required.
Just as true as anything else she's said since day one.
Last night her excuse (via an aide) was that if the Feds took over she's afraid they'd spin things and try to blame her.
Her strategy is the same as a drowning person, buy time, any way you can, pray for a miracle.
It seems, reading down the thread, that there is some doubt about the worst of the violence at the Astrodome, but it is clear that there is some pretty horrid behavior going on all the same.
I heard the Convention Center was never on the shelter list. So why would FEMA be looking for it.
Again, the Governor still controls the National Guard, and they were at the Superdome helping medevac and lead the people to busses.
Why were the first troops at the Convention Center the 4th Infantry Division from Fort Hood, Texas? Mighty big disconnect there.
"I can't tell from the picture you posted...
was that her 55th or 60th BLACK PANTSUIT????"
That would be SIZE 55 and 60.
Listening to Mark Levin right now, ON FIRE! GO MARK GO!
I have no idea...sorry.
WWL reports the LSU is now playing @ Arizona State in Tempe next Saturday night.
Keep me informed, please? I don't want to watch Brit's show until whether I know he joins the media hacks as Gibson chose to do so today.
I will catch the clip of the press conference later on the rerun, though. I want to keep that forever. LOL
Yes, I know. I am just pointing out that Landrieu was on one talking head show emoting about the slow progress, and Broussard was on a competing show taking credit for personally fixing a breach, and the real story was told by a CoE superintendent.
And you believe that airstrikes are the best way to deliver "tonnage" of ordinance?
How do you think ordinance gets to a forward area?
(Hint: not by air.)
Yup...got Bob Mann fingerprints all over it. He used to whore for Breaux before he worked for Blanco.
even on the live threads, we could never figure that out. that is one legitmate criticism of FEMA, they need to get plugged into media reports more - when the media is on the ground there at various locations, their reports about what is going on can provide good information - especially when the local command and control evaporates instantly at the outset of the disaster.
Yes. Having a plan on paper, which they have, looks great. However, implementing the plan takes leadership. There was none. Without the buses deployed, other parts of the plan fail. They made a decision to save the city assets (buses) and not the people.
We have confirmation from the State Veterinarian's office in Louisiana that Snowball, the little white terrier mix who was shown on many news broadcasts as he was not allowed to board the evacuee bus with his owner, is safe.
He was immediately rescued and is in the hands of caring professionals. That's all the information we know, but we thought that the many people who were concerned about him would be happy to know that he is safe.
They need to add something as simple as this to their disaster planning.
I met a man 15 years ago who had designed and built his own very similar amphib gear. I liked his better. :~)
WWL showing resident who stayed with generators, frozen beef, water pump from pool to faucets. The guy had everything set.
He lived through the last one.

It's true of every shelter ever provided and this is a BIG shelter. It's 25,000 people...it's a city with it's own zip code now. There is a police force that is answering calls just like any normal police dept in a city. Some crime is going to happen. It can't ALL be prevented. The good thing is that the perps should be easier to track down.
Will do----
Bill Hemmer just reported that the Times-Picayune editorial is telling Bush to fire ever single official that let the folks in NO down..especially all of FEMA...
He didn't mention whether the TP called for the firing of the Mayor and Gov. of LA though....LOL
Hemmer did say that Pres. Bush ignored the negative and is concentrating on getting stuff done...and not pointing fingers...
