FOX News (Click here for MUST SEE Video) ^ | Brit Hume and Major Garrett

[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!"""

You know, I love FreeRepublic!! It's the absolute quest for the facts that make this the best place on the web!

Excellent find! I'm going to send that Red Cross link to as many as I can!!!!!!!!!!

I was looking at satellite pics, but it didn't cover both communities fully...you might be right. But Waveland did get hammered. I can't imagine trying to have waited out the storm there.

The Salvation Army often operates independently of the official disaster management agencies that includes the American Red Cross.

So when 9/11 happened, they implemented what they already had planned, and saved thousands upon thousands of lives.

..and keep in mind a terrorist attack was the very last thing Giuliani had in mind that Tuesday morning.... This clown doctor in NO had at least 4 days warning and did NOTHING.......

Holy freaking cow. Thanks for the Link to the Red Cross where they confirm the Fox news report!

States having their own Homeland Security department is what is confusing people. They believe it's Bush's people that screwed up. That's what the democrats are counting on....stupid Americans.

BINGO!

You missed the second para...

Just to keep the post short. I gave a link, and the 2nd paragraph simply explains how the local officials justify denying relief from entering the city.

...a mere clintonistic parsing of words..

Why are none of the African American "leaders" up in arms over this? After all it was a white woman governor. Wait...could it be that they excuse her willful negligence because she's a Democrat?

I think this is it! (go to post 430)

This has gotten to be like a Three Stooges or Mad Magazine event!

A hurricane is coming and will most likely destroy our city. Guv says, "what? me worry?"

Mayor says, "a mandatory evacuation of the city is ordered but it's not really mandatory if y'all want to stay! I will move as many of y'all to the Dome that I can, but I can't use the school busses because they are for school kids! Can't guarantee that you will eat in the Dome or even be secure from local gangs, but it's the best we can do at the moment! If you decide to ignore the mandatory evacuation we will attempt to have someone else risk their lives to save your sorry asses (that includes you too Fats)! And while all of this chaos is going on, New Orleans finest will be doing their best at looting Walmart! Big Easy, don't ya know, do you think that they should be wearing Mardi Gras masks as they pilfer?"

Damn, would this make a fine movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**If you flame me I'll just ignore it because I like to start fights and then run away.**

I just had to say, I love that line.

Definition of Blanco

said of people: belonging to one of the pale-skinned races; Spanish: blanco

Use in a sentence:

Governor Blanco, that's mighty white of you.

According to the Red Cross Web Page, it was the STATE Homeland that didn't allow them to go into NO, not the Federal - The MSM has it wrong and Fox has it correct:

---

Hurricane Katrina: Why is the Red Cross not in New Orleans?

1. Access to New Orleans is controlled by the National Guard and local authorities and while we are in constant contact with them, we simply cannot enter New Orleans against their orders.

2. The state Homeland Security Department had requested--and continues to request--that the American Red Cross not come back into New Orleans following the hurricane. Our presence would keep people from evacuating and encourage others to come into the city.
