[George W. Bush]

He said "We have been pulling bodies out of trees, people have drowned in their homes, there are thousands dead dude...thousands" we spoke about for about 5 minutes about where he was when the storm made landfall...

Then you're relating that he said he had seen thousands of dead himself?

He must have found an area where the bodies were peculiarly concentrated then.

Can you clarify how they were removing the bodies in batches of thirty but that your friend is using an ambulance? It would seem to me that removing thousands of bodies would exceed the capacity of available ambulances in any given area and you would have to use trucks.

There are dozens of teams on the ground that have been working these operations in said counties listed in the original first post.

I can't believe I have to explain such elementary reasoning on FR of all places. He has seen the bodies coming in,he has seen them in trees,in cars, in homes,under rubble...washing in the water. OBVIOUSLY he is not the ONLY person working down there.

My God. They are using all means whether they be trucks or wagons or boats.

Mississippi search crews pulling bodies from rubble

Who knows what the final tally will be? Will it be thousands? Possibly. It is clear at this point that it will be many hundreds. Sadly, tragically, I expect it to go higher.

BTW, MFH, I forwarded your post on this thread to my email list.
