The MSM has laid all of its cards on the table and dropped all attempts at objectivity. Why is it that they hate President Bush so? Where does this hatred come from? Is it just because he is a Republican? Is it the Florida fiasco in 2000, even though it was obvious that Al Gore and the totally insane Florida Supreme Court were doing their best to snatch victory from defeat? Was it President Bush's strong leadership after September 11 when you think that should have been Clinton's time to shine? The tax cuts for the rich? Is it because he wears his Christian nature on his sleeve. Are you in a particular prickly mood because 'Mother Sheehan' didn't pan out despite all your efforts? What, what is it? Why do you hate him so? It can't just be because you think he is dumb; one would think that would be an advantage for you. Well at least you have played your cards now. Unfortunately for you I don't believe we are exactly seeing a Royal Flush, in fact I don't even think you were holding a pair of deuces.

Thanks. So late Monday were they in a position to deliver water and food? If not, why not? Not enough helicopters?
When did the levees break so that ground transporation was impossible? Could they have gotten in food and water late Monday or early Tuesday by land?

How come when hurricanes happen in Florida, its always Jeb Bush's fault(The Governor), now in Louisiana it's Bush's fault(The President)... Guess they just like to bash Bushes. Yep.

I'm still reviewing the
City of New Orleans Disaster PreparednessCertain hazards, such as a hurricane, provide some lead time for coordinating an evacuation. However, this can not be considered a certainty. Plus, the sheer size of an evacuation in response to an approaching hurricane creates the need for the use of community-wide warning resources, which cannot be limited to our City's geographical boundaries. Evacuation of major portions of our population, either in response to localized or citywide disasters, can only be accomplished if the citizens and visitors are kept informed of approaching threats on a timely schedule, and if they are notified of the need to evacuate in a timely and organized manner. If an evacuation order is issued without the mechanisms needed to disseminate the information to the affected persons, then we face the possibility of having large numbers of people either stranded and left to the mercy of a storm, or left in an area impacted by toxic materials.

Bush put active duty soldiers in at least 24 hours prior to his visit today. I bet he made BLANCO sign some type of paperwork today....Having the 4th ID from Fort Hood, TX roll in while Fox News was rolling was hilarious.
And DELTA FORCE did secure the hospitals.

The MSM et al. need to confront the mayor and the governor why they were not used. May be Brit Hume will next week.

The Mayor of Waterworld was encamped in BATRON ROUGE when the hurricane hit.

The Governor of Louisiana has deployment control of the LA NG at her discretion .
This fact is still not getting out to the pea brains in the media.
Col Hunt of FOX News investigated Blanco for Bill O'R.
He found :
Gov Blanco had her Louisiana National Guard troops and assests prepositioned-but, did not pull the trigger.
President Bush should have realized the collapse of state govt ( my words ) and federalized troops.
Legal considerations here, but, that could have been overcome.
Louisiana National Guard were staged 30 miles north of NO- Governor had no eyes on the ground, no communication in NO to assess the situation-people not evacing, levees breaking,etc.
Everyone had 5 days notice storm was coming at state level and no prep was done.
Blame falls on Gov Blanco, Gov Blanco, Gov Blanco and secondarily -President Bush- for trusting that Democrat Governor Blanco had situation in hand and failing to step in earlier and federalize the entire military situation.
And of course, had President Bush stepped in and legally usurped Blanco- the Democrats would have gone ballistic.

And now people are defending the looters and turning it into the race game. Louisiana Law allows looting for survival (as do most states). This means food essentially.
But I saw one buffoon (who's racial makeup need not be mentioned here) on The Factor today justifying the looting of wide screen TVs on the claim they were going to be "bartered" for food.
And he did this with a straight face!!!

So federal troops were sent in to secure hospitals. I remember that report.
I still would like to know whose responsibility it was to order Louisiana National Guard troops to deliver water.
