This was a fantasy land, nothing could have been done. The buses could have been there and ready for people but they wouldn't have showed. They could have drilled for weeks practiced evacuation and it would have resulted in what we are seeing now, the welfare/nanny state doomed them.

Lonsberry sums up the sane view of the NOLA disaster quite succinctly... other than on FreeRepublic, it remains UNTOLD.
The INsane control the airwaves... while WE just sit back and let them!

"Instead of inspiring by their example, the mayor and governor were visibly shaken and afraid. They acted like frightened children. Stupid frightened children. " My Husband and I saw the same thing in the press conferences before the storm hit. Those press conferences had a real "every man for himself" feel.

Federal officials can only work in a city with the permission and cooperation of state and local officials.Easily refuted.
For example Eisenhower nationalized the Faubus's Arkansas National Guard. Of course the libs and MSM (and even the critics within the GOP) would howl even louder if Bush had done so.

Fellow Freepers:
At the suggestion of writer Michelle Malkin last Friday, I have cobbled together a blogsite called Texas Clearinghouse for Katrina Aid to serve as a clearinghouse for refugee efforts in Texas.
Texas is getting more refugees than any other state -- that's fine, we'll take them all -- but we need help providing them with food, clothing, and shelter.
If you are a refugee, you can information that will help you find relief. If you want to donate or volunteer, you can find someone who needs you.
Right now the site mostly covers Houston and Dallas but I will add various churches, schools, and other charities in San Antonio and Ft. Worth tonight. My wife is down at Reunion Arena in Dallas as we speak handing out care packages and otherwise ministering to the refugees as a representative of her employer.
There are a lot of churches and other organizations in Texas that need help in dealing with the problem and I would be most appreciative if you would get the word out.
Many thanks,
Michael McCullough

The New York firefighters ran in and the New Orleans police ran out. That nearly says it all. This says it all:
The New York Rudy's firefighters ran in and Nagin's the New Orleans police ran out.
Leadership made the difference.
