Can you really trust what USA today puts out? I don't....I have seen to many stories they print and it has some truth but mostly it isn't true, so I quit reading it...
Same with the NYSlime, and the rest of them, even the NYPost is getting that way....I get my news on here, I know what the Freepers Post is a reliable source...
Ladie,
Agreed, no one can spend as much time as I on FR. I might see a USA Today if I happen to be in a hotel.
The point of the quote was that on Sunday, Ebbert, New Orleans city director of DHS, told a reporter that they had 4,000 troops on standby in Memphis to help the police in NO.
Totally reasonable to have troops ready. Just like the plan calls for. What happened to those 4,000? They did not exist.
Just a paper plan, just like the plan to use city and school buses. Take the federal money to develop the plans, write a report with lots of charts and graphs, with a nice picture on the cover but DO NOTHING.
