New Orleans' mayor has the authority to let residents return to his hurricane-damaged city

.....but no authority to get them all out? What kind of doublestandard crap is this?

"We must offer the people of New Orleans every chance for a sense of closure and the opportunity for a new beginning," he said.

Plus we must restart the pay offs. I had extra expenses with buying a house in Dallas and all.

I predict we will hear more about the victims of those helpless starving looters in the days ahead.

Nagin is just trying to re-institute his voting base.

Maybe Nagin is trying to get the fatality numbers closer to that "10,000" number that he pulled out of his...ear. Nagin is unfit...for anything and everything.

Well if the little bits I have heard thus far are correct most of the deaths in NO won't be because of drowning.

IF Nagin bulls on ahead on schedule with his plan, you may be sure that IF another emergency crisis erupts as a result of his not being ready with all the emergency services and so forth, he will be the first up on the stump (from his Texas home) berating President Bush and the Federal Government for not "evacuating" the people "soon enough" once more.

The Wal-Mart store in uptown New Orleans, built within the last year, survived the storm but was destroyed by looters.

"They took everything — all the electronics, the food, the bikes," said John Stonaker, a Wal-Mart security officer. "The only thing left are the country-and-western CDs."

Interesting.

The Levees aren't fixed permanently, they could probably blow at any time. I would think the first order of business would be to get a handle on permanently reapiring them and strengthening them.

"The only thing left are the country-and-western CDs."

So this proves that the looting was not perpetrated by Alan Jackson fans.

Tropical depression No. 18 is forecast to become a hurricane shortly, and is also on track to enter the Gulf of Mexico - likewise the hurricane season is far from over...

This "mayor" is really urging folks to risk their lives and property again for no good or sane reason - I can already hear the blame being placed on GWB for allowing a second disaster???

Mayor Ray Nagin on Monday and develop what he called a logical plan to repopulate the city.

Come back! I'll take care of you this time!

Just heard on Fox that the feds are warning that things are so fragile flood-wise that just 3 inches of rain could trigger another disaster. If Nagin lets people in and that happens, even Texas won't be far enough away for the angry mob that'll come after him.

That'll be a hard sell this time. The Admiral in charge is now on record as telling Nagin that it's a really really really really really bad idea.

Interesting.

I'm finding it harder to believe what went missing.

They looted all of the Neil Diamond CDs?

I agree with Mayor Nagin. After three weeks the city of N.O. should already be completely drained, cleaned, repaired and all utilities restored. All bridges should have been rebuilt already. And what is keeping those store owners from restocking? D*mmit - looters need product.

And where are the federal dollars to replace those skewl buses? It's been THREE WEEKS AND SCHOOL STARTED A WEEK AGO!!!! What about "no child left behind"?

George Bush needs a whuppin.
