[rodeodance]

1. hundreds in line, most no food for two days they said.

[rodeodance]

2. only the clothes on their backs for many. they do not know where they

are going.

[rodeodance]

5. small clip on Aaron Brown. done now.

[shraby]

3. Where'd you find that? Gotta linky?

[silverweb]

4. Too little too late.

They should have started with the school buses last Friday.

:cry:

And where are they taking people? Are there tent cities set up somewhere safe and dry? With food and water and sanitation?

[rodeodance]

7. yes, yes yes.

[Mass]

9. Exactly

Knowing that most of the people stranded there do not have a car, this should have been done when they gave the order to evacuate.

[Mass]

6. At last - They could not do that two days ago?

[Cleita]

8. True. What a mess of mismanagement.

eom

[rodeodance]

10. break down .

[rodeodance]

12. brown now saying the US military is shifting into gear.

[Fleshdancer]

11. thank goodness n/t

[rodeodance]

13. he made a crack about the NAT guard not being available (subtle)

[rodeodance]

15. whow--the big Gen. for Nat. Guard was on complaining!! hey Rummy!!

[rodeodance]

16. saying nat. guard unit in Bagdad ready to come home next week but

many do not know if will have a home to come home to.

[Fleshdancer]

23. oh the sick, sad irony...

With all their empty rhetoric about our National Guard being deployed to a different nation in order to keep us safe and to guarantee our freedom...New Orleans is gasping for every breath as she slowly drowns. Martial law has begun. Not my definition of safe and free.

14. But Governor of LA and CNN said all roads to NO are knocked out

and they showed pictures of it all. The causeway, I-10 and bridges...gone. How can they get busses to get the folks out...and where will they take them. The Governor said that they are trying to find land to put temporary shelters..and that was around 3:00 today...they couldn't have land and shelters yet...plus she said she didn't know how they would get people out...but was hoping for enough food and supplies to keep people alive until shelter could be found.

All the hotels are filled so there isn't room to move folks there she said and even rentals are filled. :shrug:

[rodeodance]

17. 500 extra Goast Guard called up today he said.

[Mass]

18. If this was in a third world country, we would already have tents

ready to have these people sleep and food would be on the way.

[rodeodance]

20. saying the military is suspose to be a support role. Wonder if there

will be some turf problems. After all, this IS Nat. Guard role.

[rodeodance]

19. well, the buses were going somewhere. some roads must be open.

[silverweb]

21. EVERYTHING IS TOO LATE.

ALL of this -- transportation, shelter, food, water, sanitation, and medical help -- should have been set up in safe areas, ready and waiting, DAYS before Katrina made landfall!

Where the hell was the government we pay for? Where the hell was our leadership?

:grr:

25. That was in Kenner, LA 4 miles from NOLA. I don't think NOLA

will get it together enough to get people out on busses before friday.
