"read 782 - I called the number and it is valid - Suzanne told me that they were denied access to NO by the NATIONAL GUARD."

Even if that were true, which it is not, that would also be under the control of Governor Blanco.

"I asked her if it was a new policy to NOT go into ANY disaster areas and she said she would have to get back to me."

The Red Cross does not conduct search and rescue operations. We are an organization of civilian volunteers and cannot get relief aid into any location until the local authorities say it is safe and provide us with security and access.

"The purpose of this is to determine why a vast population were not getting food and water - hopefully the problem gets fixed before Osama comes to your neghborhood (as he did to mine)."

I'm not worried, my state is not controlled by a ignorant liberal governor who would deny food and water to the very people she is suppose to protect.

Apparently FEMA did indeed stock the dome. Maybe Brown was at a loss to know something was wrong, because he had been told the dome was stocked.

[Not A Snowbird]

I read that through, and it says "relief crews" stocked the Dome. Who were they, I wonder? It's frustratingly sparse on detail.

[Dead Dog]

It should be if it isn't. They need to know what resources need to go where,and by what available route. None of which is known until after the damage is done. Also remember that folks thought (for no good reason) that NO was out of the woods the night after the storm.

""relief crews" stocked the Dome. Who were they, I wonder? "

The article is a hit piece on the Admin. Notice their's no mention, not even a hint of LA EM folks rules regarding any relief effort's outside their own. The kept the Red Cross out and FEMA. Those relief crews were fedFEMA, not Red Cross, or anyone else.

That NYTs piece was a vicious, pure partisan attack.

The NG brought in MRE's for 15000 for 3 days

[Freedom is eternally right]

Progress, or just a change of direction?

Span, hope your wife doesn't mind me posting to you, would be bad etiquette not to include you in the To: box.

Sometimes you play chess 2 moves ahead and sometimes 3.

Novak came out saying there are two too many lawyers at Homeland and FEMA and I think he is playing 1 move ahead of any of us.

I hate to think the worst but keeping in mind the narrow advantage the conservative movement has developed and the 80 years it took, there is not a whole lot I'm not willing to trade for that if the poop hits the fan.

And 2 lawyers is chump change.

[1035rep]

Well, here you are

Why is it that every time you are enlightened on the bogus information you post you flee the scene only to turn up somewhere else?

[Freedom is eternally right]

Never trust Novak, unless of course you're a Dem. But it is nice to learn that you can actually read. I, too, hate to think the worse and would like to give you the benefit of the doubt on that chess thing, but not going to do it, so keep trying.

[Freedom is eternally right]

He's all yours. Have fun!

[1035rep]

Thanks, I'll give it a try but this one is as slippery as an eel.

[1035rep]

The conservative movement only grows bigger each election.

America sees the libs for the dregs they are.

So don't worry about us we can keep our hand on the treasure

The dude's just completely outclassed. Let him crawl away.

Thanks for sharing all the love, but I guess Bush put this thread to bed.
