Boy this Karl Rove fellow is Evil.
yeah the gov of new orleans is about to retire early
Yawn.
Nothing to see, move along.
This is part of what the Red Cross lady said last week...
What did the mayor call the dome? "A Refuge of Last Resort"?
Did they mention when this supposed refusal took place? If it happened today that would be a different case than a few days ago. Actually though, if the Mayor really wanted to clear the city, why not use food and water at the SewerDome as a way to lure them out?
Several others of us heard this too. Criminal, if you ask me.
This is Hugh! Put on your ping list.
The question then becomes WHEN were they refused access?
Because the police would also not allow people to LEAVE the superdome once the water level came up. They held them there, even when some wanted to try to wade out.
But they did allow chopper drops of food and water.
Timeing of these events are important to getting the big picture.
It was an exceptional report by Major Garrett.
Ummmmm, paging Gov. Blanco, paging Gov. Blanco...
Does Fox typically post transcripts of Brit's show? I recorded the entire segment, because Cameron was on target, bullseye, with this segment. This is something that should be posted on the front page of every newspaper--but I won't hold my breath.
Just saw it...it was incredible. He had just gotten off the phone with the REd Cross...the Louisiana Homeland Security would not allow the REd Cross to help people because they wanted them to LEAVE the area....but the point is...HOW were they to leave???
I say..bring the hearings ON! My understanding also is that the reason there were few supplies at the Superdome was that it was considered "last resort"..they didn't want the people to go there...they wanted them out of town. But again...How were they to leave?
What would OPrah say if she knew?
How can this be? I have just come from DU (yes I cleaned my shoes) and they said it is ALL Bush's fault.
Ping.
While the state was asking "Where is the food?" the state was denying the Red Cross access.
I saw that report. I say if the Libs want an investigation, then bring it on!
Rats, I read an article a few days ago that stated that the Red Cross has a series of smaller shelters in NO but decided not to open them because people might go to them rather than evacuate the city ... the shelters, they said were not adequate for long term stays (which at the time they anticipated due to the predicted Cat 5 hurricane).
This makes logical sense to me.
I can't find the article now.
