The disaster efforts are a disaster itself.Why did it took 4 days of suffering four these people to get any aide till it was sent to them?It was now a week of this BS!!If Rudolf Guiliani is mayor he would've done it a better job than this.This was acceptable!! It's was partly to blame on both the Clinton and Bush administrations for cutbacks of the funds for to fix the leveys of New Orleans.I thought these folks would've had a better chance of survival if the leveys were fixed like they were supposed to.Instead,the money was rerouted to fight the Iraqi War and hailliburton!To hell with wars as far as I'm concerned.The evacuees of New Orleans,Mississippi and Alabama are more important than human life is more important right now.We've got people dropping dead out there and more to come man!This is a disaster of the bible's proportions and one that residents of Louisiana had feared for years would happen.There nightmare has now reached the fruition and their are still peeple in that god-forsaken superdome still waiting to get out of that cesspool,hellhole that is full of human boddies with the unbearable stench of dead bodies,human waste and mold.How the hell can the National Guard force the remaining 10,000 peeple to remain in such an environment?This is excusable!! They should let those people sleep outside in the open-air where it's much better than inside that disease-brewing superdome.What do they intend to do if a disease pandemic results from this?They obviously don't think about that.Somebody has to be accountable for the dead.If theier is people looting in the streets of New Orleans it's because they do that to survive.They are starving for Christ's sake.Do you blame them? What is wrong with looting?!?! When it comes down to stealing you gotta do what you gotta do to do-even if it means breaking some laws.There's still peaple in flooded areas still waiting to be saved.By the time help comes their way,more will be dead.There's no cents in rebuilding this town because it is built in a stupid way by 3 bodies of water.Who the hell in their right mind would want to take another chance and go back to that?So what if they rebuild the city.It's still in danger of being wiped out again of Katrina!Anyway,this is one big flop-up that will be on the minds of voters next election.Keep your eyes glued to the TV because more dead are on the way and it's all BUSH'S FAULT!
You are really enjoying this ain't ya.
Do you know why the mayor and governor waited so long to order the evacuation? Do you know why they didn't use buses to get everyone out?
ok...
Too bad the idiots who ran that city deserted the people. That's democrats in a nutshell.
It was unfair to humanity... not one particular group... please quit trying to be devisive.... yes we know the poor were hit hardest. they always are... what good does it do to try to stir emotion.
The storm sucked it killed lots... more than you can imagine.
time for your zot fool.
Hey, New Orleans had an evacuation plan. The mayor failed to put it into action. This whole, sad situation could have been avoided if the mayor had cared about the people who presumabley elected him. BTW, welcome to FR and your first post today. I don't imagine you'll be hanging around long.
What is your suggestiong that would have stopped this from occuring? If you were the predisdent?
Explain this. School busses in New Orleans lie useless in flood waters. These busses could have been commandeered by the mayor to bus evacuees out BEFORE the storm hit. Are you going to blame Bush for this?
Thanks for signing up to post this thoughtless, error-ridden rant. Thanks for posting all your solutions too.
It's all very sad and we need to pray for these people and then roll up our sleeves and get to work. The power of God's nature is vast and awesome and nothing we do can make it less so at this time. Maybe someday we'll know how to tame hurricanes, predict earthquakes, stop volcanoes and tsunamis but right now we can only suffer their effects when they occur. Stop the blame game, because it is just that, a game, and doesn't help a single soul now in need.

Complete lack of leadership from the Democrats closest to the situation.
One of your buddies is speaking in Jackson MS right now....

7:22 P.M. - JACKSON, MS (AP): The president of the NAACP says class and economic status played a clear role in how the federal government responded to Hurricane Katrina.
Bruce Gordon says there are clear discrepancies between how the government responded to September Eleventh and how it reacted to the needs of Katrina's victims, who were largely poor and black.
For now, though, the civil rights leader says he's not going to point any fingers. Gordon says that can wait until after the storm victims get the care they need.
The NAACP president spoke in Mississippi hours after top advisers to the president met with African-American leaders in Washington.
