New Orleans is sounding more like Iraq. No help, no local government
officials there anymore. They've all been forcibly removed.

What is this Administration doing?

3. And no...
National Guards when they are sorely needed! I hate to imagine if California or some other state was rock by a major earthquake or some other disaster and how the response will be from the government...unbelievable!!

4. People are begging for help and water....
And nobody is giving it to them. There isn't enough help down there.

Then, I hear that volunteers are being turned away telling them "we have everything under control"

True sign GWB is running the show.

5. Im still having a difficult time fully trusting all that is being told to
us.

What to believe and what is PR spin from the White House.

6. Stalling
just like they did on 9-11. They want the biggest mess possible before they even pretend to respond.
