This is a disaster of epic proportions, that NO city or state or nation is prepared for. Also Louisiana is the 6th poorest state in the Union.

Listening to the BBC on TV and I guarantee you that if you think CNN and the rest are bad, you do not want to turn on the BBC. The reporter on the ground in New Orleans was explaining that in order to understand what is going on in New Orleans you had to understand that the people left in New Orleans are poor and black and the majority white police department just doesn't care about them. He started telling stories about poor desperate people running up to the white officers cars and having shot guns put in their face. Majority white police department? When I've been to NO I don't think I've ever seen a white police officer in the streets. Anyway, he's point is that Americans are a bunch of racists with guns. It just makes me sick.

Warehouse district....next to W Hotel....no water pressure to put it out and the police are taking sniper fire.
To: Strategerist
Who needs a bomb to breach a levy when the water is high? One guy to run a backhoe, is enough if he gets lucky, add four guys wth full auto rifles to keep the cops back if you don't believe in luck, and you have a hole in the levy. After that just let the flow of the water erode the levy and widen the whole.

Just saw a shot on CNBC of smoke coming from downtown, N.O. Is this where Harrigan's at??
To: bwteim
heck, the mayor can't walk there without body guard per report yesterday.
He's doing the old duck and cover..and blaming everyone but himself..he needs to be a man and assume responsibility...
To: maryz
What do you know about Brown? The FEMA guy. I've only got to know him the past few days. Couldn't help it. He's been on every channel and on every show. Several here say "that's his job." If that's all his job is I say we don't need a FEMA director.

The NHC proved very accurate once again this year.
No one can blame them and be taken seriously.

REPLY:
Many of the liberal voters live on the Democrat Plantation.
These thugs are being enabled by some with a radical agenda for America.
The race barters are out in force trying any way possible to split this country into a third world country.
Here is an email I sent to the media.
Dear Media
Elijah Cummings and the Congressional Black Congress along with the NAACP and some others, could not restrain themselves a reasonable time until playing the race card.
Many anti Bush and anti-America bashers are working Katrina for their own self serving personal reasons. I find these kinds of race baiting people to be leeches of the most despicable kind.
However, many in the media are also enablers of this race baiting. I hope it stops. If it doesn't, these selfish people are going to permanently split America and like Humpty Dumpty there will be no putting it back together again.
Remember Lincoln said a house divided can not stand. Maybe the race baiter's should take heed of Lincolns comments.

Geez, if Louisiana is the 6th poorest...what are the top 5 poorest states? Alabama and Mississippi are down there (and IIRC, Mississippi is even poorer).

"Everytime we hear that we need to write a letterof protest. The President isn't keeping the help out of the city.... the hoodlums are the one's keeping help out of the city... and the STATE is responsible for the National Guard."
The problem is that Bush has too much class to fight back on the same level; Nagen (Nagin?) is blasting Bush, but there's no way on earth that Bush would criticize the efforts of local NO officials. But yesterday there was a cry in the wilderness, which ironically I heard on CNN - some woman asked "Where is the NO police chief?" Indeed, where are the NO police? Where are the NO firefighters?"
To: Steve_Seattle
I am incredibly disgusted with the CNN coverage."
Because this is an all out effort to blame Bush by MSM and the low life thugs. Stay off of SINN. They know negativity is what brings in their ratings.

Understood ... I was only indicating the breadth of existing off-the-shelf technology that is available for full-spectrum (meaning types, not frequencies) communication. Consider that just about everybody and his brother has a cellphone and you don't need to outfit everyone with military radios. All you need to do is have a priority code scheme that gives LEO and FEMA priority access. That portable cell-tower unit looks to be rooftop deployable. The point isn't as much which mode to use but rather that there are lots of modes available. All it would take is the brains to realize at least one mode was necessary.

Train tracks are out. Many of the roads are out. Airport barely open. I'm seeing a remarkable response for the conditions in south Louisiana.
