Katrina, a photographic timeline: Powerful proof federal response was NOT slow (warning, many pics)
Yahoo News Photos ^ | 9/6/05

Posted on 09/06/2005 8:45:18 PM PDT by Wolfstar

The near total evacuation of the major American port city of New Orleans, Louisiana was accomplished between Tuesday afternoon, August 30 and Friday afternoon, September 2, 2005. This evacuation occurred while other search, rescue, relief and evacuation operations were simultaneously being conducted throughout the Gulf Coast between approximately Lafayette, Louisiana, on the west and the Florida panhandle on the east -– an area of about 90,000 sq. miles, or the size of the entire nation of Great Britain.

I'd say this amazing achievement is the opposite of slow. I'd say that it's a stunning accomplishment and one that demonstrates superb organization, remarkable logistics flow, and the greatness of the American spirit.

From the following photographic timeline, it should be clear to all reasonable people that the failure of government response occurred before the hurricane hit, and it occurred solely at the local and state level.

But the Liberals and the MSM will say that the C.I.A photo shopped these pictures.

" But the American people know the truth. " .... I sure hope so.

I made a second online copy of just the images on my web server SanityIsland.us, so that we would not be depending solely on Yahoo image servers for them. See Katrina, a photographic timeline (by Wolfstar).

I am baffled by the MSM...that they can spew this stuff as "Gospel" and expect the world to believe it.

An evil doer gives heed to false lips;
A liar hastens earerly to a spiteful tongue.
Proverbs 17:4

Wolfstar, thank you so much for this thread.

Wolfstar, thanks for this photo-essay!

FYI, the bottom photo is of the Surekote Rd breach, not Belaire.

She's a political hack, first and foremost; a Bush-hater extraordinaire. Early in her term 2 years ago Bush visited the state but she has 'something else' scheduled.

Her partisanship cost 10,000 lives...so far.

I believe those are prisoners being evacuated to the roadway.

Until 2 DAYS AFTER the storm hit.

Beware of the false timeline that the media is trying to sell.

The distaster that is New Orleans did not happen on Sunday when the storm hit. After the storm passed, New Orleans was looking relatively good. The real storm damage was east of NO.

The real problem in NO happened on Tuesday when the levies failed.

Great pictures. I've always wondered why they didn't open up all lanes and change them to all outbound traffic.

Of course, and sad to say, the failure to recognize this by so many reporters and politicians is an indictment of their intelligence, reasoning powers or venality - or all three!

Great job Wolfstar. This will be a great resource for my daughter's planned Powerpoint school project.
