MUST SEE: Blanco refused to allow Red Cross and FEMA to bring food and water to Stadium!!!
FOX News (Click here for MUST SEE Video) ^ | Brit Hume and Major Garrett

Posted on 09/07/2005 3:35:54 PM PDT by NickatNite2003

Just heard on FOX that Blanco refused to allow supplies to be brought to the stadium, "Because they wanted all those people to leave, and they didn't want to create a magnet to bring others there, by bringing in food and water!"""

but it is a Homeland Security directive not FEMA but they do work together ..

don't confuse what homeland security(state run) and what homeland security (feds) did the refusing.. a typical liberal parsing of blame game gamesmanship...if we just say it was homeland security's fault...the public will think feds....feds=Bush...now that the cat's out of the bag of exactly who was giving orders and who was not..this don't look good for the lip quivering,teary eyed,confused governor.

The state agencies follow federal procedures, thats the whole point of homeland security - coordination. Top down organization.

I can't listen anymore. I'm going to read and the television is off for the night unless a leftist commits hari kari on the floor of the Senate.

It wasn't designated a shelter. It was a refuge of last resort.

A shelter is is to have food, water, medical people and security.

..."I didn't realize that each state has their own Homeland Security office controlled by the state governor!!!!...
This state position was highlighted in a scandal in New Jersey, whereby the Governor placed his gay lover into a lead position in the Jersey Homeland branch. Once outed, it led to that tearful resignation last year this time.

but the main issue seems to have been they didn't want that "magnet" and wanted to encourage people to evacuate (my comment=so the state did that by starving and dehydrating people).

Doh ... it's so simple! They wanted the people to be euphoric!

I'm not sure if he's back there now... I was referring to something he said before the "adults" arrived (Nat'l Guard/Honore/military :) ).

Anyone who had brought food and water would have been murdered for it in that hellish environment and some probably were killed for it.
Its an atrocity that the Governor forbade food and water to be given to the victims of the Hurricane, an absolute atrocity!!!!!!!!!!!!! and forbade all other services!!
