Clinton slamming a CNN reporter for bashing Bush

Unbelievable what I miss when I leave for a bit. What happened/was said?? I see N.O. is coming under control - ADULTS ARE IN CHARGE? :)

I agree for the most part... save the historical district, it's on higher ground anyway. Of course it could be moot if the hooligans continue to set fire to the city.

"Dennis Hastert: New Orleans should be bulldozed."

I wonder if this may not be the proper solution.

Just start filling in that area till you make it higher than the lake and the river THEN build it back.

It may take years but it would be better than trying to beat Mother Nature with a levee system.

I have people near me here in Ohio ask "why don't these folks use their cell phones to get info?"

Thats nothing, people where I live are wondering why these people dont get online and let their families know that they are ok....some people are just truly stupid

they are sure they can use court orders to get the refinery and oil infrasructure back up and running.

Of course! But . . . shouldn't they have just got a court order to send Katrina out to sea without doing any harm?

Feeding stations have been set up now even in the Remote areas...

The problem in NO is the VIOLENCE! Until they get the streets back under control, they can't risk the rescuers lives. Too many have already died...

Troops are downtown, people are being evacuated by the thousands...

TONITE, the real battle of Mogadishu, err, I mean New Orleans begins...

That may be what they are saying out loud, but the fact that the MSM is focusing their cameras primarily in NO speaks volumes.

43 DSS staff at Hyatt needed for over 1,000 people that have been dumped at the Airport.

I took that as part of carrying out a plan, where first the patient were relocated to facilities (at the airport) and now there is a need to get the medical pros, who are all gathered in one place, out there as well.

I think it's a fairly routine priority transfer.
