Bush Country's satellite photo of the dome, buses and other stuff is making it very interesting for the rats. They can't even control the Red Cross and some of their news outlets.

The Fox News Channel's Major Garrett was just on my show extending the story he had just reported on Brit Hume's show: The Red Cross is confirming to Garrett that it had prepositioned water, food, blankets and hygiene products for delivery to the Superdome and the Convention Center in the immediate aftermath of the hurricane, but were blocked from delivering those supplies by orders of the Louisiana state government, which did not want to attract people to the Superdome and/or Convention Center. Garrett has no paper trail yet, but will follow up on his verbal confirmation from sources at the highest levels of the Red Cross.
The transcript of the interview will be available at Radioblogger later this afternoon.
And here is a very interesting article from Septmber of 2004:
Debate continues over Superdome as potential hurricane shelter
Seems that the debate over using the Superdome goes back almost a year, and that no one in New Orleans thought it would be a great place in a Cat 4 or 5 hurricane.
Key graphs:
"If we were to lose power, if we were to lose plumbing facilities, if a storm were to hit and create flooding in the area; the Superdome would not be a desirable place to be," he said.
The American Red Cross admits it would not stay in town for a severe hurricane. Workers would offer supplies and training to the Dome but would then leave to ensure aid for the hurricane's aftermath.
Kay Wilkins, spokesperson for the American Red Cross, said, "While we're saying we;re going to move our volunteers and staff out of the risk area into areas where its safer for them to be it doesn't mean we're not going to be here ahead of time for others."
Mayor Nagin said the city has more than 80,000 people without transportation access, and when the next hurricane evacuation there will be thousands of people who will not, or cannot, leave, highlighting the city's urgency of finding the most suitable place for shelter.
It's gonna get real interesting!

New Orleans And Louisiana Blocking Aid To Refugees In City
If you have the time do read the comments....
Pelosi Galore will continue to win points with the maggots who elect her every two years, and she will turn off more voters in the middle with the same hatred.
Did anyone see the reporter interview a man who said there was no water coming over the levee at 17th Street Canal until a barge hit it? The reporter ask if the wind blew it or if someone was guiding it?
Where is the barge???
They'll try.
The man i saw said the govmt blew it w/dynamite .Said he heard explosion in the night.
fyi
I've been saying for awhile, the governor is going to burn on this. The Dims made a big mistake turning this into a political blame game. As the details come out, the Dims are going to take a big hit.
I don't see how the governor or the mayor can finish their terms when everything is finally in the open.
Hundreds if not thousands of deaths are going to be laying at their feet by the time this is over.
Larry who on where?
Deservedly so!
I guess it's the state's (Blanco's) decision to starve out the remaining people in NO.
Nope. They can't afford it. It would be devistating for the Dems if they aired this out in Public...
The plan started before the water hit to figure out how to blame Bush. Instead of helping the people, the DEMS were plotting how to use the people.
