This is what happens when you don't nip lawlessness in the bud, and why they absolutely should have started shooting looters. They see they can get away with that, so now they're pushing a little more. How many must die before law is enforced, by whatever means necessary?

But it is clear that she is out of her league here. This disaster calls for Gen Patton or Gen Schwarzkopf, not Cindy Sheehan II

Absolutely right! We can barely afford to have Democrats in charge when there are no wars and the DOW is at 15,000.

Thank you, no. One does not leave the most vulnerable for last in a mandatory evacuation. One evacuates the most vulnerable first.

Harry Connick, Jr. is at the convention center pleading on MSNBC. This is really something else.

Looting is just fine with him apparently, even the plasma TVs.

Where's Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and the rest of the poverty pimps?

NONE of the homeless have $ to put in Al & Jesse's pockets.

They should be on the ground in New Orleans helping restore order.

They condone the looting & shooting.

Al & Jesse call it, "excercising freedom."

Now, before they cause more trouble. Not sure though if there's a way to get rid of them politically.

Maybe enough pressure will build up that they'll just step aside...right...

We can hope.

Funny you mentioned that. My father was one of those called up to defend DC during the King Riots.

You're right. The criminal underclass isn't confined to NO.

This just breaks my heart. In America, we cannot even help these poor people because of the scum, in-bred, non-humans.

Looks like it will be up to the victims to bring the shooters under control. Otherwise, that Superbowl will just be a haven for these new terrorists for their use for raping, stealing.

Somehow, the word needs to be given that the violence will mean no help whatsoever.

"On Monday, Larry King managed to dig up someone who stayed in NO, who said the weather forecasters told him all week long that they were "100% positive" the storm wouldn't hit NO."

Well, technically, he was right. It missed by ten feet.

As Shep Smith showed the elderly man
that died on the freeway yesterday,
the man's body is still there today!

Now, I have seen that in Malaysia,
but a body doesn't lay there this
long!

The gov and mayor are just incredibly
incompentent. Incredibly!

It is gonna take the president himself
to sort this mess out. I hope he
realizes this & starts taking action
soon!

You and I agree that the "leadership" must go.

Just heard officially it was a helicopter squadron that took off this am from USMC(H) New River in J'ville NC.

God be with them. Cpl. James Newton from Louisiana was going with them- said he expected to do this kind of thing in other countries, never in his own.

Another report said in Jackson Miss gas station in front of Walmart had 2 hour line. Cars are rolling in to gas station, tempers flaring, generators out of gas-price wasn't going to be the issue, supply was..... we've run out of regular and mid-grade here in my town in NC. Just got a shipment Monday.

Jackson is making up his rap about how the hurricane is Bush's fault. He and Sharpton are wholly owned subsidiaries of the National Democratic Party.

Could we just give Oprah a chance to bring calm?

Maybey Oprah and Michael Moore could be used to plug the levees. Sean Penn could be brought in to supervise the airlift and provide moral support for the looters.

You know, I think the President of the United States is busy enough running a war, the country, mounting federal resources without having to play governor also.

Time for the people of Louisiana to stand up and take on a little of the load. If she is ineffective, let the reasoned people of Lousiana demand action.

Not everything in the world can be handled by President Bush.
