It may be a bit of a stretch to use the term genocide, but it is not much of one. What she's doing is almost as bad; committing fatal, willful and criminal neglect on a massive scale for political points, not just against President Bush and the feds, but against Mayor Nagin. Not only will she never forgive him for opposing her bid for the governor's mansion, but her fellow 'RATs will never let her forgive him for supporting President Bush.
Before Katrina hit, sure Nagin could have used those buses to get the people that ended up at the Superdome and Convention Center out of the city, but without the shelters Blanco could have and should have opened, I honestly don't know where he could have put them. That does not excuse him for the rest of the cluster<expletive deleted> that is New Orleans that can be laid upon him (leaving those buses in flood-prone areas, not having any significant local supplies for the Superdome/Convention Center, allowing the entire focus to be on the Superdome for days, not having flood-resistant communications for the NOPD, among others).
After Katrina passed, I didn't see Blanco lift one finger to evacuate the Superdome/Convention Center while at the same time she was starving them of supplies. I didn't see Blanco open up any new evacuation sites to help evacuate the Superdome or Convention Center; indeed, I don't seem to recall her or her people having an active role in getting the Astrodume complex used as the eventual evacuation site for those in the Superdome.
I don't know nearly enough about NO politics to fully evaluate this possibility, but it would seem that each dead resident would become a guaranteed vote for Blanco and her fellow travellers.
Thank you for sharing : )
Vultures. The RATS are vultures and prey on the dead. You wrote: "...it would seem that each dead resident would become a guaranteed vote for Blanco and her fellow travellers."
listen to it with a few words changed:
"it would seen that each dead soldier would become a guaranteed vote for Hillary and her fellow travellers."
There's no mistaking that Soros is behind Cindy Sheehan using the dead for political purposes.
I wonder how much, if any, property he owns in NO?
