So much for Homeland Security and "first responders"
First responders getting there 3 days after the event. Maybe they could've used that $200 billion blown in Iraq after all

1. I hope the Freepers who are watching understand that this is their city
after that next big terrorist attack the warmongers are doing their damndest to ensure.

2. Before the strom that asshate from FEMA was bragging about
their foresight and he fact that he had pre-positioned assets for this. Where the hell are they?

Also, why are we not seeing rescue flights from Barksdale AFB in Shreveport? It has more air force assets than any other base in the world and is a 45 minute flight from NO. They supply lots of the troops from there.

3. I'm just hysterical about it.
These people are going to die from sheer neglect.

4. There was easily...
...a far more well planned effort from the hookers who collectively attacked the city of New York during the RNC.

5. How secure do you feel now?
I feel NOT AT ALL secure. If anything happens in my neck of the woods, obviously I am ON MY OWN.

6. First week responders?
if we're lucky?

How about someone bring in a de-salinization barge and with an industrial block ice maker on it?

7. I just heard on TV that local Red Cross
from Springfield MO is just now getting orders to depart for ATLANTA tomorrow! I frickin' can't believe it! First responders will be the last ones in New Orleans?
