(1). Its the Gov's job to call out the National Guard.
(2). If the Mayor of NO thought the Guard should be out, why didn't he call the Gov?
(3). Since when do we fly our troops and emergency personnel in high winds, such as a hurricane?
(4). Why did so many NO police officers quit and run?
(5). If the Gov and Mayor couldn't handle the situation, why didn't they call the feds to take over?
(6). Is that enough to start with scarbougho? If your so smart then why don't you volunteer to go down there and take over, I'm sure along with the Gov and Mayor you could really mess it up big time!

Stuck in the middle is this statement:
Terry Ebbert, New Orleans director of homeland security, said more than 4,000 National Guardsmen were mobilizing in Memphis and will help police New Orleans streets.
This was written Sunday night, last Sunday, by AP for USA Today. What happened to those 4,000? I suspect it was just a paper plan, no substance.

It's also the Governor's job to declare a Federal emergency, which Blanco has never done. I'm not going to sit still for Bush being blamed for the Louisiana government's incompetence.
He showed his wife Susan the other night being Florence Nightingale and Clara Barton all roled into one, and he said she did more than Bush did!!!
