The media has been trying for days to get someone to point the finger at the feds, AKA Bush Administration. What clowns.
Simultaneous . . .
Fire trucks delayed . . .
Any MSM doing live shots from the dome . . .
When they gonna pick this up?
So now, NG soldiers are going to become victims themselves unless armed MPs show up.
What lunacy is this? The NG should have restored order from the get go...so it would be SAFE to rescue, evacuate, and shelter the victims.
What we have now is the lawless taking control of the streets, hospitals, stores, and now even the places of refuge.
GET THE NG IN THEIR WITH WEAPONS AND FIXED BAYONETTES AND PUT THIS LAWLESSNESS/INSURECTION DOWN!
Should have been done on MOnday.
OMG...
O'Brien was really badgering Barbour, trying to get him to admit the feds were not in place before the hurricane and where were the military and Pentegon? Barbour tells them he had national guard mobilized and begged people to leave. He was very clearly and for very good reason pissed at O'Brien. Asked him if he wanted an interview and he wasn't going to argue with him. Said nitpicking after the fact wasn't going to help. Barely said thank you to O'Brien at the end.
Amen to that. And also to the innocents still trapped in what used to be New Orleans.
Armed MP request has been "forwarded to a Colonel and they are working the issue".
Bet the guys on the ground liked to hear that one....
Not getting the armed MP's they need . . .
God, what's gonna happen down there . . .
Pray for the innocents, like the bus drivers and guardsman, just there to help . . .
Thank you for that report. We all needed to hear that, everything else looks so, so bad.
Pushing back barriers . . . I assume to let the crowd move away from the building?
Good point, cajungirl.
My heartrate is up listening to these updates about the fire...
FROM WWL:
Updates as they come in on Katrina

6:17 A.M. - (AP) - Responding to reports of widespread looting, the president says there should be "zero-tolerance" for lawbreakers during the disaster. Bush says he's told law officials to move against anyone who engages in looting, price-gouging, insurance fraud or any other crime to take advantage of the situation.
6:15 A.M. - (AP) Managers at the Covenant Home nursing center were prepared to cope with power outages and supply shortages following Hurricane Katrina. They weren't ready for looters. The nursing home lost its bus after the driver surrendered it to carjackers. Groups of people then drove by the center, shouting to residents, "Get out!"
On Wednesday, 80 residents, most of them in wheelchairs, were evacuated to other nursing homes in the state.
"We had excellent plans. We had enough food for 10 days," said Peggy Hoffman, the home's executive director. "Now we'll have to equip our department heads with guns and teach them how to shoot."
omg!!
Just pulling figures out of a faint foggy recent memory . . . but maybe the delays have to do with
water impassability
and
10-20,000 relief workers dealing with 100,000--??--300,000? stranded, disabled, infirm etc. plus all the guns and gangs???
Guessing here.
Thank you.
I just heard that. Our poor National Guardsmen inside.
And all FoxNews is showing is shots from the Astro dome . . . meanwhile hell is breaking loose at Super dome . . .
God Bless you and your family. You are right of course to be thankful.
this is freaking amazing - I feel like I am there sitting in one of these buses waiting in line to move in.
Bulldog6's dog barking was great - he is ready to go chew on some looters butts!
