He's just a jerk, IMO.
Now what? Just keep going west?
Oh, no. This is a mess.
You jumped in and said shouldn't we just forget about it was 60 years ago. The Japanese have spent the last 60 years DENYING it and rewriting history.
I remember after the hurricane here the base personnel were engaged in clean up on the base property and the troops were all over, along with all the trucks, heavy equipment. In less than a week it was all removed. Yet in all the surrounding areas the civilian population was struggling. It just seemed a waste to have all those men and equipment not engaged in assisting the people. Some roads remained closed for days because of the trees. While the heavy equipment the military had could have removed them so easily.
It seems a big part of the problem down in the Gulf area is even getting supplies over the blocked roads. Those are the things the military could handle, IMHO. Of course, I know that plenty of the military bases in the area are probably handling their own problems too. But, clearing the civilian roads would save lives, while cleaning up the bases just makes it look nicer.
Also, there are special divisions of the military that are especially trained in cadaver removal. Those personnel could be dispatched specifically to handle the dead. They have all the equipment and special clothing, vehicles,containers, body bags, etc. They should be there taking up this task. It is so terribly tragic to see all the human bodies everywhere when there are special forces trained to handle just that.
Hopefully, it isn't a murder. These people should be grateful they're alive and have a roof over their heads. There's a special place in hell for people like those causing all the mayhem in NO.
San Antonio, I guess. That's a long drive. Or Detroit. that's even longer.
It will get better starting tomorrow night, imo. National Guardsmen are pouring in from other states and have been deputized to shoot looters on sight.
"Hell, after the rapes and murders, I say nuke it. That will dry it out quickly".
Please do not misunderstand this as a personal attack.
Any person that subscribes to such an imbicilic, asinine, or backwardsassed philosophy would be considered in dire need of a cranio-rectal reversion procedure.
This is America, and we WILL rebuild. Despite the divisive pedantics that strive to divide us on racial, economic, and geographic lines.
Wishing you all the best.
I agree about Bill. He never gave them a chance to give an answer because the answer was not what he wanted to hear.
So, the guests are merely sounding boards to bounce his ideas off of. I would write an email but too tired.
Here you go, but you'll have to slow it down (I think you can do that on the right side of the graphic.)

Wrong time for them to try it.(Not that there is ever a "right" time.
Americans root for the underdog; if AQ tries to "kick us when we're down" there would be no limit to what we would do in response...
Prayers for all!
They're never air conditioned.............I don't think, anyway.
What a tragedy to die on your way to a shelter......
Every hurricane that I've experienced in New York has followed a very similar directional track to the one shown there, but it started much further to the west and would be preparing to sweep across the Outer Banks of North Carolina at the point where it says "8 PM Tue" at the north end.
I agree. He was frustrated and upset, so times that by about a million, and that's how the other people were probably feeling.
It has no doubt been very difficult watching so much suffering around you.
He should get a serious raise after this.
'I'm starting to get irked by the bozos who are suggesting that New Orleans shouldn't be rebuilt. IMHO, that's a pathetic attitude of a loser. I was raised to have a strong, American "can do" attitude. Piddly excuses why we can't or shouldn't rebuild New Orleans don't set well with me. '

Remember the last huge earthquake in Oakland? Whole freeways torn down , whole neighborhoods leveled? Seems thay had that rebuilt in 6 months.........ahead of schedule, IIRC..
indeed.
callers into Hannity today wanted to discuss what was coming - he said he didn't want to get political over this. bet he changes his tune tomorrow.
the bigger political problem for Bush is not this new orleans thing, the videos of the looters are enough to dis-illusion most americans, its what's happening with gasoline.
Uh-oh, I don't think the school buses heading to New Orleans have air conditioning either. I didn't think of that until now. I wonder what happened to all those Greyhounds mentioned earlier in the day?
