I heard on the news this morning that when the National Guard finally did arrive in New Orleans on Friday (yesterday...5 days late) they were instructed to evacuate the people stranded in the Hilton (people with food, water and working toilets) BEFORE they were allowed to evacuate those who were really suffering (the poor, the elderly, the sick, small children) in the sports dome.
And now I hear that the President is too good to accept aid from other countries. Countries that are willing to send helicopters, hospital ships, and all kinds of needed trained organized help. No, no, we'll just leave the bodies to rot in the heat and humidity for another week.
I'm sorry, I think it is time to start assigning some blame here.
I would ask all the Browncoats to write to your Senator:

AND your Congressman:

people need help desperately now.

I guess they just don't know exactly what type of help they want yet ?

very poor people in this video clip
Even Fox news which normally is very supportive of whitehouse policy says they may have got it very wrong

they should have known what help they needed 5 days ago,
the Red Cross, and small towns, and hospitals in the area, are all at the breaking point: the few rescue workers they had in the area have been working without rest or relief. And how long do they expect to house refugees in sports stadiums anyway? Why aren't they sending people out to other states? The Governor of Iowa is prepared to immediately take thousands of refugees and offer them immediate residency so they qualify for public housing & food stamps and whatever help they need.
But thank God for Canada...the Canadaians have always been wonderful neighbors, helping after the 9/11 bombing of the WTC, and now helping again...
thank you for the link GinoBiffaroni.

Just who the hell is running things anyways ?
There is an intact road and five days later those people are trapped without support...
I'm not even a American and that pisses me off, and what gets me is is six months they'll likely have another 911 style commission to get to the facts and it will be whitewashed again......
I read somewhere else they sent a team to evact the local Hilton ( which had emergency generators, as well as food )
Rivera is reduced to frigging tears...
Maybe the help you need is to get rid of your present government

not everyone at Fox sees it that way, Oreilly is trying to do some spindoctoring politics and balme it on Al-Gore
He says Gore is at fault and to blame for the Hurricane because of some paper Democrats and Al-Gore signed some years ago
It seems this Oreilly either makes fabricated lies up for political means or this guy can't go for a few seconds without throwing in his political slurs

Gino, I agree, but they'd be wearing tar and feathers. That is, the ones that weren't hanged.

To my American friends.
Now is not the time to be pointing fingers.
We know whos at fault.
Nows the time to think up appropriate punishments for Bush and Co.
I really do wonder if george bush will be impeached for what would be a farsicall performance if it wasn't so tragic. Comedy of errors really doesn't say it.
But I suppose he didn't do something really bad like sleep with an intern, just responcible for the deaths of thousands of people.
