Not that there is a NO police force in NO any more.
Exactly. It would be disastrous to send the military in to get people out.
Exactly. The military doesn't need to be getting involved in a Gush Katif style roundup and evac operation.
And Nagin - he has no power whatsoever over ANY of the troops or, really, anybody, but that hasn't stopped him. He's even had the unmitigated gall to mouth off to the President of the United States.
Not realizing that the Old Fox will let you rant and rave, smile at you, shake your hand, say "I hear you", and when you leave the room pick up the phone and say "cut him off at the knees."
Actually not even that. THIS presiDENT (I was going for the old Kerry Campaign tone there) just lets people hang themselves. The old "let them suffer the consequences of their own actions" ploy, which isn't a ploy at all.
Our military is absolutely right. This is not their mission and by the posse comitatus act, which a friend sent to me this morning, it would be illegal for them to do so.

Old NY cops and firefighters RAN, RAN to, RAN TO, the WTC on 9/11 and would not leave their brothers. They died trying. These guys need a vacation.
And how about the good cops who's good acts are being tarnished by the behavior of this clown.
A sad part of this whole thing is that the works of marveously unselfish charity are going underreported while the liberals hog the media with their trash.
