"There is reason to believe that President Bush, running out of patience with Blanco by Saturday morning, used the only option that remained to him. It is being reported that Bush went around Blanco and utilized the Insurrection Act to federalize the National Guard and send in active military troops to take over the rescue and put down the lawlessness that had taken over New Orleans. The forces that Bush had poised to move into the city, swung into action. It was no accident that the major, organized rescues began when the sun came up on Saturday morning. At 6:30 AM, when the sky over New Orleans was suddenly filled with military helicopters and military convoys poured into the streets, they were there because of President Bush, not Governor Blanco. "

IF this is true...one can only wonder how the liberals and media will respond. How DARE the president try to take over the sovereign state of Louisiana...

Now- how to find out if this IS true..

Now- how to find out if this IS true..

One of CNN's early morning reporters had a walking interview with Mayor Nagin Sunday or Monday morning. In that interview, Nagin verified most of what was said in this article about the Blanco and Bush interaction. Nagin was full of praise for Bush and nothing but bad language for Blanco.

I was shocked to see this on CNN. I was not at all suprised that the interview tape was not run again and again. CNN mainstream has been bashing Bush badly. The early morning reporter and her producers were just too nieve about CNN's bash Bush policy, so they let this interview slip out.

This will further confuse the Left. I hope they make a big deal out of this if it is really true that President Bush used the "Insurrection Act" to federalize the National Guard and send them to Louisiana because of Blanco extreme and stunning incompetence and lack of leadership. They will be crushed.

Given that President Bush declared LA and NO to be in a state of emergency the NIGHT of the hurricane I think a bunch of this is true already.

That was the chatter here on that night (tues or wed.) and if you search I think you will answer that part of your question.

As to how the liberals will take it... don't you think a bunch of them knew and know all this. They all are experts on government and disasters.. most fairly well educated. This IS their reaction. As the author said.. they are closing ranks around the mayor and the governor.

Have you not watched any news, read any papers? It is all talking points about the racism of the response, crying mothers with babies, old people on blankets on the street with the flood in the back ground. This is an atypical response. The impeachment defense of clinton in the media was a road map they still use.

If you go after the ones who saw it happen, and the ones trying to exercise justice and do it enough and loudly, the media will support and aid you to the end. Eventually most of America will forget about it so at worse you come out with a draw in minds of the voters.

In short you HAVE been seeing the liberal response and even when it is PROVEN they will stick to their talking points. It will still be about Bush killing and starving the poor minorities. ("women, children, senior citizens, and minorities especially hard hit" is one of their favorite lines)

Case closed. Welcome to the real America even more divided than before thanks to their propaganda efforts and the aid of the MSM.

The largest military evacuation the world has ever seen moved with the precision and efficiency that is only seen within the military. With men like Lt. General Russel Honore, 1st Army Commander and Army Brigadier General Mark Graham in charge, law and order was quickly restored, and an endless line of helicopters and boats began removing the stranded people and taking them out of the hell-hole called New Orleans. Those forces were ready to act because the President of the United States had positioned them to be ready.

Didn't have a chance to read the entire thread, but may I at least be next to say the above passage makes me proud to have my liberty and freedom in the hands of such capable men. Furthermore, how could you not like a guy that would tell a reporter: "We aint' stuck on stupid." I would like to buy that man a cold one.
