"I believe I've seen quotes from LA Guardsmen that have said they handed out water at the Convention Center.
Let alone mounds of trash that would indicate these folks were eating and drinking something."
Could be - and they were told to bring their own - but why did these folks have to be detained for 5 days to give every MSM camera a photo op for the Dem Convention in 2008?
There were open highways from day one - get them out beforwe the Penns and the Travoltas get there.
Where was the Louisiana National Guard?
Blanco didn't call them out until Tuesday night, meaning they couldn't really be on the scene until Thursday, Friday.
The federal response was not what it should have been, but the MSM is slowly starting to investigate the total NON-RESPONSE of the city and state governments.
Contrast that with the great job the state of FLorida did in FOUR hurricanes last year, and the leadership of Jeb Bush.
