Gov. Blanco Admits to Failed Troop Request on CNN
Quinn and Rose ^ | September 16, 2005 | mcg2000

Has anyone heard the unbroadcasted CNN clip of Blanco speaking with an aide regarding Katrina? She makes it clear she "should have specifically asked for troops."

Blanco's conversation is muffled and informal ...it's hard to follow, but Quinn slows it down and reviews it quite effectively.

I've been out of the loop the last couple of days ... has this been reported anywhere else?

I heard her finally admit(on TV)the buck stops with her and she was completely to be blamed for the snafu that was purported to be the cause of the unecessary "suffering" by the under priviledged bougeous.

Just more Dumb Dem posturing.

These dems just cannot keep from scratching their fleas in public, chasing their tails and gnawing at their feet!

This isn't what she admitted while she knew she was on TV. This is what she said when she thought no one was looking.

This is a major admission in the relief blame game. Note how the media avoids reporting it.

A method with which to fight liberal bias media is to threaten to write their sponsors and threaten to boycott sponsor's products if present reporting content doesn't change.

For those interested, this is the most comprehensive analysis of what happened in New Orleans and a timeline.

I've been close attention to this matter, as a lot of us have, and there is a lot of information in here that I did not know.

It also explains, specifically, why the feds were PROHIBITED by law, from acting in New Orleans, until the Governor signed a specific request for help.

This is true now that I remember it was two different instances.
