They are there, or on the way - 30,000 National Guard from several States, and a brigade of 3,000 from the 82nd Airborne, inbound.
I fear that the present number of troops might not be nearly enough to save these people, who are dying by the hour.
Only a massive number of troops and rescue vehicles will be able to get a handle on this incredible and unprecedented disaster.
There soon could be thousands of people dead around the Superdome, convention center, and trapped in homes and hospitals all over New Orleans.
While armed gangs of thugs run wild through the city.
How could this be allowed to happen in America?
