The most recent military enlistment agreements call for a enlistment period of 8 years. Usually, four to six years are served as active and the rest as inactive but recallable reservists. This is how the SARists who thought they had left the military are probably being dragged back in.

You haven't been listening, have you? The President has been as visible has he needs to be. He is not a glory hound so he'll stay out of the way. The USS Bataan is already in the area.

Yeah, you can look at Gulfport and Biloxi and picture what northern New Orleans would look like now.

Slowly hopefully people will realize what's going. Today just watching the guy tell of his wife who disappeared into eternity because he couldn't hold on any longer. People might think Voodoo
and Harry Potter are neat and all knowing but I know someone out there who doesn't think so. This is not illusion or delusion this is reality.

Sounds like it's rapidly getting out of control. I wonder if FEMA can even really do much.

A local official tells an ABC News affiliate in Baton Rouge, La., that inmates at Orleans Parish Prison are rioting and have taken hostages -- including children -- using homemade weapons.

I do not every remember seeing a hurricane where water was such an issue. What are these poor people going to do when reality sets in.

If there is a news blackout, it will be because the levees have totally gone. Keep hearing that the levees are getting in worse shape.

What I just heard on WWL said they are trying to rescue everyone they can but they cannot tell the beginning and end of the Mississippi River right now because of all the holes and breeches.

WWL is broadcasting and just said the Mississippi River has breeched the levees and holes all over the levees.

If that is true, they have to blow out the gulf levies.
