CNN Headline news reporter just stated that the military will not force folks from their homes. "Refusing to force Americans from their homes", said the noticeably British reporter. Further, they will not let residents deteriorate in their own homes. The military will continue to get water and food to those remaining in New Orleans, effectively undermining Nagin's mandatory evacuation order.

I was in downtown New Orleans shooting Hurricane Katrina video and documented the last few days of the City before it died.

The New Orleans police should have handled the mob rule, too.
Hey, pass out some Penicillin and warn people not to drink the water. It's like living in the woods.
Nagin is a comedian! Can you imagine Rudy sending his police force to Las Vegas while what was left of the towers, still smoldered ? Go on vacation and leave it to the military to do the "dirty work". I'm glad the troops won't participate. Geesh, what's wrong with this guy?
Good for them
Don't leave Blanco out of the equation.
Does anyone know much about Nagin? Does he have a family? Is he gay? The foaming, spitting, raging, cursing -- it is all so unattractive.
Exactly. It would be disastrous to send the military in to get people out.
There is no doubt some of these people who will not leave are risking their lives to continue looting.
A number of New Orleans police patrol cars have been spotted in Houston since Hurricane Katrina struck several of which are now being stored in HPD parking lots, officials said.
Details about how the patrol cars arrived in Houston remained sketchy , more than a week after the devastating storm caused major flooding in the city.
"To our knowledge, (the patrol cars) have been driven by New Orleans police officers," said Lt. Robert Manzo, an HPD spokesman.
New Orleans police commanders are aware that several of their patrol cars are now in Houston, Manzo said.
"We were told not to stop them and we were told that these cars were not reported stolen," Manzo said.
The patrol cars apparently were taken by New Orleans police officers as they evacuated the city, officials said.
"That was the only mode of transportation," Manzo said. New Orleans police officials "are not interested in pursuing any charges against (the drivers.)"
yup , this is one of "THE PHOTOS" that will make Nagin squirm , Mr. Brass Balls
Yes this is great! Nagin was whining for someone take charge. Now he wants to give orders. Please!
I have been telling my wife that we should think about buying some property. She pointed out that Nagin and his cronies would never allow anyone to get any good land.
Does that qualify them for disaster relief assistance? Since they weren't directly hit?
LOL. I'd like to see those wimps try to take on the US military.
Is this the first "mandatory evacuation order?"
Compared to prior "mandatory" "evacuation orders"
I think you may be right,after all why not call for this BEFORE Katrina?
So the police can come back from Vegas and loot the unoccupied homes?
