hello, Somalia, Iraq etc. It's part of what the military does.
2 out of 3 ain't bad!.......According to this jazz ain't music!?......
1000's of people waiting on help that hasn't come. They went to the shelter like they were told... and no one is there no food, no water, no authorities.
YOU ARE WRONG. There was food, water, working toilets, etc when they first went there. With no electricity, the toilets didn't take long to malfunction, for food and water to run out, and many of the refugees were bitching about not having ICE.... Incredibly ungrateful on their part, IMO, since they didn't listen to the orders to LEAVE TOWN----Wouldn't have to tell me twice, if I hadn't already figured it out for myself and left ahead of the orders to do so.
12:43 P.M. - Kim Nunemaker, St. Bernard Ave. Specialty Hospice: 26 bed-ridden patients and 40 staff members have to evacuate from the building. They need assistance moving these patients down several flights of stairs because the elevator is broken. Anyone who can help is asked to come to 3700 St. Charles Avenue immediately.
The generator powering the building is on the verge of running out of fuel.
Nunemaker said it was raining outside and there were some strong winds.
Catherine Sweisgood, a co-worker, said they need to get the people out of there before dark. The patients need to be brought to Touro so they can be airlifted out of harms way.
I agree pretty much with the sentiments of the previous posters and no point in re-stating them.
So---- Anyone else furious about the previous "Grifter in Chief" billy jeff clinton being put in charge of fund raising yet again so more 'other people's money' can find its way into his Swiss accounts?
And the Bushes are all too chummy with him. I'd have thought that they would have learned their lesson by now.
That worked really good for China .
I've found it most impossible to wad to dry land. :)
All kidding aside, it's a horrible situation down there. May God be with those who want out and aren't creating the chaotic, criminal situation.
Guiliani led New York through 9/11, and brought down the Mafia before that. For all his thoughts, THAT is a proven leader.
Faux Texan W has brought us along the same path as Jimmy Carter, no matter how much you might want to think it otherwise.
Corrupt or not, YOU are the one who just pulled the arrogant prick card.
Since the situation in NOLA is clearly getting worse instead of better since the National Guard went in I think need to just pull out and send our troops home. We don't need our boys from Ohio or New Jersey dying for some far off state. What is the exit strategy here?
i doubt the looters rationalization runs that deep.
Next time you want to call somebody PUERILE, it'll have more effect if you spell it right.
I'm not talking about the super dome , i'm talking about the convention center.
The convention center was one of the places people were told to go... but no athorities are there... MSNBC just had reporters there... and there are thounsands of people there without food and water. No police of any kind there either, people dying by the dozens. They are just laying them against the walls. I saw literally dozens of babies under 6 months old! several babies had already died and their bodies were just set by the walls, other moms were holding their nearly dead 3-6 month olds... it was HORRIBLE!
In NO the morgue fills up every week end."
I didn't know it was THAT bad in normal times!
GEESH!
No wonder this is going on!!!!! ""
Either the morgue needs to be enlarged, ot the lawlessness there has been a well kept secret by the politicians. I suspect the latter, myself. Time to clean out the cesspool, maybe.
"It would appear like at least 80,000 people stayed in Orleans during the Hurricane...which doesn't make much sense."
Why doesn't that make sense? NO had a population of 450,000. 80,000 is under 20%. Did you think you would get much better than an 80% evacuation, even if it were mandatory?
I type fast. I expect you people to look up what I say, and play the spelling police and correct me.
Makes you feel good, doesn't it?
