Yes - she's a Democrat and she is considered a "minority" as a female in government employ: She has a double-coat of protection from culpability.

Yeah,

I don't start threads very often. This one took me quite a bit of time, I could have added quite a bit more, but I wanted to concentrate on what has not been addressed yet, and this topic is it for me at least.

I don't think anyone else covered this, if they did, I'll apologize in advance.

Quite a few hours to do it. I hope this gets out.

Maybe the Demoncrats in charge can't read?

Or think?

[Sonar5]

I'd be happy to. I know enough about it now after doing the research..

Thanks,
Joe

Doesn't this fall under 'criminal negligence' definitions? If so prosecute to the max both Gov & Mayor for the deaths of several.

I think I'm going to TRANSLATE THIS into Spanish for OLE Mexico.

You should email some of the big shows on Fox News and see if they'll display any of your comments on the air.

[FOXFANVOX]

Thanks. Keep the heat on, because the MSM will bury the truth and try their best to pin this on Bush.

ROFL...i forgot

Thanks for the research and information.

I offer these thoughts:

1) Assigning blame publicly is counterproductive to the recovery of the area.
2) If this was offered to defend the government you're preaching to the choir.
3) If this was offered to defend a politically partisan government administration (Republican) your efforts would be better spent to identify, encourage and support qualified, conservative minded, citizens to run for public office, especially in Louisiana.

Why was the LA National Guard never deployed, even after they criticized the Federal Government for not sending military assistance?

Excellant and precise summary, yet state and local officials and MEDIA refuse to acknowledge local and state's failure to take all precautions to protect it's citizens.

"Most people were asleep" Don't they have emergency sirens to alert people, time to get up and get moving. We hear these test sirens on television once a month to remind people. Yet so quick to blame the federal government.

This should to be given to congress, when they start demanding hearings as to why the feds didn't respond. I'm sure the quiet ones (hillary,kerry,and all the others including jackson's son) will be throwing lethal darts next week. Thank you for the post

Hi,

I was concentrating on what was not covered yet. Feel free to add the links for those threads to this one.

Thanks,

Thanks for posting this. Now it will not be revised or deleted by someone in N O's or La.. Travis Mcgee on an earlier reply on another thread has provided the coffin for the mayor and other in N O's who try to blame our president.

I hope that sooner or later the MSM discovers that New Orleans did have a written emergency plan to cover the evacuation of the poor, but that the idiot mayor of New Orleans ignored it, and allowed the evacuation buses to be ruined by the flood, forgotten.

The city leaders had at least two full days to use these hundreds of buses to evac the poor, exactly as their own emergency management plan called for.

Here's the southeast Louisiana evac plan supplement, most recently revised in 2000. Go to page 13, read paragraph 5. It states:

5. The primary means of hurricane evacuation will be personal vehicles. School and municipal buses, government-owned vehicles and vehicles provided by volunteer agencies may be used to provide transportation for individuals who lack transportation and require assistance in evacuating.

Thank you Grampa Dave for the ping.

Note that the Superdome was established as a Last-Ditch Refuge, not a shelter. This means it was designed to handle last minute walk-ins and those who couldn't evacuate and that those people were to be evacuated from the last-ditch refuge to a shelter once the hurricane passed. By their definition a last-ditch refuge only has supplies to last through the hurricane.

If they were expecting a Cat 5 that would flood the entire city, what was their plan to evacuate people from the Last-ditch refuge into a shelter? How - by boat? What shelter? What was their plan to shelter thousands of people for months?
