Ugh. I was thinking about soldiers far from home reading about this. How helpless they must feel. Sigh. I've had the same thought too.
We have to maintain our presence in Iraq and get that country stabilized.
Now our soldiers with family in the area have to worry about this disaster.
Everyone remember, we're Americans, and we have resolve. We will see this through!

Well, at least the giraffes are keeping their heads above water!

I wonder how many actual looters and thugs are in there. Are we seeing a couple of hundred or a thousand or eighty six?

I am thinking about loading up my dually and a 30 foot trailer with some bottled water pallets and taking it down there and just dropping it off wherever directed near Ocean Springs-Biloxi-Gulfport or futher west if possible.
Do any of ya'll have any thoughts or have communication with anyone who would have an idea as to local logistics below Hattiesburg or Lucedale....I can fuel way north with a 500 mile range in tank.
please ping the list

To: Arizona Carolyn
no police protection And that is NOT George W. Bush's fault.
Did you notice that the guy said he couldn't say enough good stuff about the military -- and Aaron stayed quiet?
Today some people were saying that the police had grouped together in little areas around the city, patroling on their own because they were getting NO communications from above.

Watching a vid on wwltv.
Seems like a major railroad bridge, somewhere around Bay St. Louis is a total wipeout.
Big LONG bridge.

For those who missed a very early post this thread: I suggest this excellent rant by jeffers about the difficulties city and state officials face...

I'm not vouching for ANY of this as right or wrong... but it is important for everyone to try to get a handle on the magnitude of the problems evacuating a large city ... and why it is critical that we not get into the blame game right now.
When you start thinking big, you start understanding that one person doesn't count anymore. Not the mayor, not the governor, not even President Bush. Bush will not fix this, the New Orleans police will not fix this, and the National Guard will not fix this.
They aren't big enough.
Three hundred million American people are going to fix this, or else it isn't going to get fixed.

Have all the reporters left NO now that night has fallen??
Have things gotten bad again?
To: cajungirl
I think they are talking more than 80... they are described as bands of roaming gangs with AK47's who have been methodically working their way around the city... even comandeered a mail truck for their raids.
