I'd love to hear the answer to that question -- it must be maddening! It's in the 90's, humid and no shade. dear Lord!

That's MY question. If the responders allow these people to die of starvation/dehydration/disease, etc...

WHAT THE ---????

They have been. There were pictures of troops offloading a helicopter at the Superdome last night.

I was wondering the same thing. People keep bitching about the Federal Govt. not doing anything, but the National Guard on the scene are under the authority of the GOVERNOR of the state, NOT the President.
