Some news from the front. This was just sent to me by a friend who has relatives in Alabama. One relative is former VN helicopter pilot and is now helping out in NO. Here's the family report that was sent to me:
"He has had about 3 hours sleep in the last 48 hours. He started flying "missions" into New Orleans on Tuesday. Got on the roof of one hospital and almost got mobbed. He said it is horrible down there. Right now he is at the hospital in Shreveport and will probably be going out again before much longer. He is just trying to rest up so he can get started again. Patients are dying in the hospitals down there, no power, no generators. "
i will be getting dark soon...I sure hope they can do rescue missions tonight. I heard the nights have been lit up with flashlights hailing for help.
Bush has to get the Governor on the phone and say, slowly and clearly, "I want you to request me to send in the military". And if she acts like she doesn't understand, he should repeat it as many times as is necessary.
