I bet he did fly over. The MAN is no whimp & takes his job seriously. In short, he is a leader.
Read somewhere that his aides & people were in the area at the outset.
Hopefully they have a plan to rescue all of them and are using the dome as a central location.
The crews were there as well as local people that man the airport it was stupid decision by the airlines
what do you mean by that?
<<< I felt better seeing some footage of Mississippi officers throwing a couple of looters thru a broken door. That was kind treatment-if you ask me.>>>>
Until they start filing Civil Rights Lawsuits when the courthouses reopen....
If you don't think that attorney's don't SALIVATE over that kind of footage, you're nuts....
If I were you, I would be asking the mod to take that down.
I do not have TV, but, I will guess that you are seeing Americans with darker skin engaging in criminal acts. This is a surprise to you?
Let's transpose this whole scene to South Boston; and tell me that the white Irish in that neighborhood would act any differently. There are respectable blacks in NO and respectable whites in Southie. But, the veneer of civilization is very thin, regardless of race or geography.
Sorry.. did not realized I tossed anything. Just jumped into the middle and cant get caught up on the current situation.
I pray they can get the people out of that mess...before the diseases set in.
They rescued 3000 today...but they need to get them out of the "bowl" and to dry, safe areas with electricty, good water, etc.
>>>Haley Barbour said to Larry King that Bush was itching to come down and had asked to come to Mississippi, but Barbour said not yet. Landrieu said he is coming on Friday.<<<
I hope Cindy Sheehan and her entourage try to follow him into NO. We may finally get rid of her.
and where are we going to send these thousands and thousands of people? If people were reluctant on going a few blocks from their homes to the superdome GOOD LUCK in trying to get them to go to baton Rouge and lafayette and lake charles!
You need to pay attention to what has happened here. You really don't know what you are talking about - trust me.
oddly, the video of the black looters is juxtaposed with the video of black folks being rescued from homes they worked for and tried to save.
One can assume that most folks white or black, are decent people, but for some folks, white or black, opportunistic anarchy is a part of the "ghetto mentality".
in LA looters came in all colors, but local demographics/economic status is probably key.
gotta be frustrating for hard working blacks to turn on the tv and always see the black guy as a looter, or prisoner...but the camera only captures what it sees...
I wonder what Jesse and AL have said to stop the looting?
Oh, sorry, that was silly...
Hey, listen, calling for a day of prayer IS the first thing that should be done. I'm proud of the fact that she said this.
For those who can't be there in person to help, much prayer is needed from them. She was wise to call for it.
As for the rest, she may not be up to the challenge, but I do believe she is giving it her all to the very best of her abilities.
The people of LA elected her governor -- she's in the position -- and doing all she can with her personal capabilities. She may not be up to the task, but she IS trying her best.
More importantly: Will he grab for funds to rebuild.
This most likely is the next stop.

I recall reading somewhere that the second levee to go was the industrial canal. It is one that connects the Mississippi to the lake.
Here is a pic of the second breach:

Here is the pic of the levees:

If the second breach is indeed at the industrial canal, then NOLA is lost unless they can stop it. Otherwise, the Mississippi is going to flow right in.
The question is, where exactly is this second breach? The water looks like it is flowing from the top right of the picture towards the middle. Is the middle the canal? The top right looks like a flooded neighbourhood of some sort.
Right .. it's called being a leader .. a professional executive in charge .. having the spine to make the tough decisions. Oooops, sorry -- I know .. I shouldn't be so hard on the poor spiritually fragile creature.
Well, if it's a lake levy it won't matter because they surrendered the city to the lake. I hadn't heard them mention that anything along the river was threatened yet. They wouldn't say where, huh?
