Trent should be retired.
If forced "evacuation" is going on in New Orleans why would they need a hospital ship. Send it to a place where people are going to need it. Maybe they don't need it anywhere now.
The people of Mississippi were hardest hit and the most needing of aid.
The title says it all- the MSM are going to treat it as if a Republican Senator 'diverted' a ship from the needy to his home state.
Almost like there was no needy in Miss.
Oh- and I watched Good Morning America (ABC) this morning and what a mistake that was~! The moron talking head asked the FORMER (under clintoon) head of FEMA if it is standard operations to hire former campaign staffers with no emergency control experience to head FEMA. (what an unbiased question~!) THEN he went on to ask "is on-the-job training" appropriate?
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....What a way to ruin your morning before you are even out of bed..
Good for Trent. NO is getting all the news, all the aid. Other states were hit -- even some white people. The whining is just not quite as loud. Might it not be racist to only aid black people??? I say good for Trent.
Personally I don't think we need most of the foreign help we're getting. After all the tens of thousand killed are starting to look like little more than media hype.
Why? There are people here who need medical attention also,after all, the MS Coast took a direct hit,and New Orleans does already have three hospital ships.
Why?
Wow and to think Congress is who designed the Homeland Security Agency, placed FEMA within it and set up the rules and regulations, the spending and the staff of FEMA, have power to commandeer a navy ship.
Wonder what other powers these that never accept responsibility for any of their laws and spending can accomplish?
The situation does not need a micromanager. Trent needs to but out. If the ship is in the area, helicopters can move the needy. Also the Navy works better as a unit with multiple ships not as a separate operation.
I say, "Good Going, Trent!!". So much of the focus seems to be on NO. I'm glad he stepped in to get help for his state.
And you are not thinking. See my last post. Ships supply each other. It is better to have them together.
We over in MS have pretty much decided that God helps those who help themselves,and if NO thinks it needs help more than us,we'll live,we weren't so dependent in the first place on handouts as they are used to,LOL. We just hope that as long as we're not cursing the President or acting like fools on TV,maybe the media will go away and forget us and let us get on with it. They'll walk by a thousand people here who have no recriminations to find the one bitter sour person who will give them a good whiny soundbite anyway,so maybe they'll just leave and go to NO,and we'll continue getting on with the cleanup.People are already buying lumber for repairs,and this Saturday morning instead of lawn mowers I'm hearing chainsaws everywhere.
A. Trent is right: Everything was going to NO.
B. He is representing his state--what is he suopposed to do? Join the " Pity Party" in NO?
Sorry, I can not fault him.
Once they are in the area, they are easy to move. Let the military handle things. Not a stupid Senator or and emotional Freeper.
I say, "Good Going, Trent!!". So much of the focus seems to be on N O. I'm glad he stepped in to get help for his state I THINK WE MIGHT GET A MAJORITY VOTE!
Sounds allright to me. Everything has been NO
Let the military handle it. Butt out.
