I just found this new thread....I read a book about the effects of E. Coli on people a long time ago...

and I have to say, that I have been scared to death of it ever since...that is some NASTY stuff.

[Arizona Carolyn]

Well, we know the levee board bought casinos and boats. I hope there is an investigation by the government... given we taxpayers funded this for years.

[JerseyHighlander]

please add to the Katrina ping list. Thanks.

What about all the people that have all been walking in that water...have they all been exposed to E Coli?

[Arizona Carolyn]

Hi... I bet we were all looking most of the morning to find the next thread.

She just gave a press conference - showed a snippet on FNC. Wants FEMA taken out of Homeland Security. (Isn't that a flip flop?)

I've never seen her look so angry. It actually startled me.

The good news is...she's wearing red. LOL

[mystery-ak]

I had my tv on mute..what was the Beast spewing about now?

[Arizona Carolyn]

All I can tell you for sure is one time my husband was empting the porta-potti and a very small amount of liquid splashed on him and he got sicker than a dog...

[Arizona Carolyn]

good -- going the right way.

[Peach]

I had just turned on the television and FNC was showing a snippet of Hillary from the Hill today. Wants FEMA taken out of Homeland Security organization.

Seething anger. Never saw anyone on television look like that. Not a woman, anyway.

Types, it was regarding these posts of record, which I was called upon to produce (even though it was not my job to defend this matter,) and about which I was tag-team ridiculed and lied about last night on the now locked Katrina XV thread. I encourage ALL to read the end part of that thread to see the relentless taunting of me. I might add that Rush was talking about this today, referrencing an AP story in which, I believe (not sure,) involves a transcript from President Bush to the Governor of LA. Here are the posts of record about which *I* was made out to be WRONG and was told that cold crow would be shoved down my gullet. I am here to defend myself, period, as the finger pointers are pointing in the exact wrong dirction.

"Did they use the buses to get people out of the city or to the Super Dome?"

That's a good question, and I'm confused a little, too.

Did they have a plan to use city buses to get the people out of town before Katrina hit, or did they use them to shuttle them to the Super Dome?

"I say... you HAVE to help them. They are, afterall, our countrymen. We all want our comfort and personal space but our nation comes first. "There but for the grace of God go I." It's the only sensible answer."

I agree, Types, without a blink.

I am STILL unclear about the busing plan to get the citizenry out of town beforehand. James, a couple of nights ago, noted all the school buses just sitting there in the water, and said:

"There was no plan to get the people on buses out of the city."

Holwin replied back to him:

"You are wrong. They used city buses."And a little later added: "There were buses picking up people all over the city."

Which was it? Anyone know?

Thank you, but where are all those city buses now? Why are not those same city buses shuttling the poor people out of the Hell Dome and Convention Coop NOW? Are the city buses on their way to Canada or something? Why didn't the *plan* include coming back for the now very stranded citizenry?

Anyone? Bueller?

I was just wondering if there in fact was a plan, and about all the city buses "picking up people all over the city."

Something doesn't pass the smell test.

And the supposed very operational, all warmed up, evac route familiar/experienced city buses that were "picking up people all over the city" have apparently vanished into thin air....

Where are these city buses and why haven't they turned their big steering wheels 180 degrees to pick up at LEAST the sick/dying babies and their mothers?

My BS detector on this story is on fire.

"They used city buses to move people inside of the city, not out of the city."

Howlin flat out said that you were wrong, and that they were used to shuttle the citizenry OUT of the city before Katrina hit.

So where are they now? Especially given the very tenuous situations at The Doom Dome and The Convention Coop? Many people are [faring] VERY poorly at this point.

"For Gods sake they should be using trucks, busses, anything that can roll out of town."

YES. Outfits like Swift Trucking must have a google units. Cut some windows in the sides for ventilation, throw in some cushions, blankets, water, and GO.

"Yes, that is what I remember. They took people to the SD and other 'refuges of last resort'. As far as I know, public transportation WAS NOT USED for evacuation."

Trust, All I now subsequently hear is *crickets* on the board, regarding truth/truth in plan, of this very important matter....

*********************************************************

And the non-response to anyone that had questions about Howlin's very dubious claim continued, despite the pings to her. She continued to post on unrelated matters on other threads, offering no proof of her firm claim or anything.

And this matter is increasingly, in fact, extremely important. Brit showed the pics finally, and much top-level focus is now hitting the airwaves. SO many lives could have been spared.

SO many in NOLA relied on public transit.

I'd like to add one more thing: Thank you to the many who FReepmailed me this morning. I appreciate your support very much. I received zero negative mail. None.

[Txsleuth]

I feel like I have been wandering in the desert, looking for my family...LOL

I finally just freepmailed NautiNurse....and was given this thread...

BTW, since I just got here..have any of you heard anything more about that Curtis Muhammed presser that is supposed to happen today...when he demands the Red Cross and FEMA turn over funds to his group? lol

[Arizona Carolyn]

Too bad no one reminds her that it was the democrats who, after 9/11, insisted on a department of homeland security... many complained about making a buracracy even bigger... and yet they moved ahead.

Flip flop. Yet another flip flop by the left.

[Siobhan]

School bus routes are run all over the city, every day, and some of these same buses are used to get people to the polls on election day. Why not use those routes and get as many as you can?

Exactly!!!

[Arizona Carolyn]

No, just caught the blurb earlier today. I know the President is smarter than to let that happen.
