Lt. Gen. Russel Honore barks at troops as a convoy arrives Friday in dowtown New Orleans.
So I guess the looters have been rounded up?
---"He came off the doggone chopper, and he started cussing, and people started moving," Nagin told a radio station. "I give the president some credit on this. He sent one John Wayne dude down here that can get some stuff done."---
Mayor Nagin, bush's biggest mistake was not replacing you with a 'john wayne dude' a week ago. However, federal law gets in the way of dethroning a mayor, no matter how incompetent he really is.
Yet consider the WaPo article saying that Blank-o doesn't want to cede control to someone who knows what they are doing. Criminal!
>>>Honore is from Lakeland, La., northwest of Baton Rouge. He also has a daughter and other relatives who live in New Orleans, according to CNN.
Is his family safe? Does he know where they are?
I'll end my Sunday morning news on a good note.
Good thing he's doing this in New Orleans. If it was Austin, he'd be told he couldn't order anyone or anything until he got rid of his (swwooooon) cigar....
Sounds like an awesome commander.
More evidence that the military can accomplish what the rest of the government can't.
The word had it that this guy gets off the plane and he starts off with ffffing and ffffing that and we're getting up off of our *** and we're going clean this mess up.
See, even girly-men respect the real deal.
It doesn't hurt that the John Wayne dude is an African-American born in New Orleans, but I guess that had nothing to do with the choice.
He's my new favorite general. He was on Fox News, and the anchor mentioned how the U.S. couldn't use regular army for Law Enforcement because of posse comitatus. Then, he complimented her on getting the right answer and said he liked journalists who did their homework. Very, very amusing guy even if he might be a grandstander.

Waiting for the Louisiana Governor's mea culpa.
He did not say to put them down. He said to point them down.
Love it!
****Honore is winning over even some of the government's harshest critics, including New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, who blasted the Bush administration's initial response to his city's disaster. ******
Ray Nagin is a critic??? Dont make me laugh. He should be arrested for incompetence. While people were dying he ran off to bato Rouge. What a POS.
Ray Nagin is trying to cover up his own incompetence by passing out blame on anyone he can think of.
Sometimes that is exactly what is needed. Someone to kick people in the @ss and get them moving in a coordinated manner.
