New Orleans Ignored Its Own Plan

The city of New Orleans followed virtually no aspect of its own emergency management plan in the disaster caused by Hurricane Katrina. New Orleans officials also failed to implement most federal guidelines, which stated that the Superdome was not a safe shelter for thousands of residents.

Your list is great.

Interesting, only the Gov can carry out evacs. Does that explain why Nagin didn't get all those school buses reved up?

Rush did 2 hours on this last week.........bout time someone else picked it up.

Hillary and the Democrats better hope and pray that there is never an investigation of the Katrina matter.

My guess Hillary will let this die on the vine, before that happens.

The Democrats don't want the facts to come out.

But it too late, most the public is aware that its not the Federal Government, but the locals that screwed this up.

The more we know and the longer we consider what happened it seems improbable that this was unplanned chaos and incompetency. Planned chaos makes more sense of the facts. Motive? Rid the city of all the "undesirables", dump their costs on others, and make tons of money rebuilding a new city with no derelicts, at least at first.

Democrats and their buds get rich, the Republicans and Bush get the blame. That connects the dots better than anything else.

The MSM complicity in "the story" was evident this morning as the NBC man in New Orleans was interviewing the LA Lt Governor and the only thing the NBC guy wanted to know was how bad did the Lt Gov think the early FEMA response was - the evacuation, the Red Cross supplies waiting to go to Superdome on Tuesday - not allowed in by the LA Gov, the Gov late call-up of the Nat Guard, the mobile hosp from Miss not allowed to go in - those were not NBC questions for the Lt Gov. They aren't part of the NBC story.

And Stone Philips of NBC just finished his "report" on what when wrong in New Orleans (a propaganda piece to shift blame to FEMA) with final recommendations and warnings by His Royal Mayor Nagin. I cannot believe America has digressed so low. I worry about the possibility of God's Wrath on this modern-day Sodom and Gomorrah.




I watched part of the "Stoned" Phillips Dateline special. I found it interesting that the city had DVD's to give to the residents of New Orleans that explained the evacuation plan. Were they going to provide TV's and DVD players to the poor residents so they could watch it?
