In her press conference tonight:
"I have 2 issues to talk about.
#1 300 Arkansas guard troops just back from Iraq are now in New Orleans. They are under my orders to restore order immediately. They are armed with M15s and are trained to use them. They are battle tested. They will restore order. The people who are interfering with our attempt to help the people of New Orleans will no longer be tolerated. We are expecting the other troops that I have DEMANDED soon.
#2. Dennis Hastert said today that we should not rebuild New Orleans. I DEMAND an apology, and I DEMAND it immediately."
There ya go, Governor! Kick some ass, seabass. Order needs to be restored so the evacuations and rescues can proceed safely and the levee breach repairs completed.
Wow, that's the way to get things done. They need some leadership.
Hey guys please listen to this report by this MSNBC reporter - he's inside at ground zero and days there has been
no gunfire no riots and some looting but nothing that would warrant the reports that things are dangerous in that area.
You have to get through the first part of the video (all the desperate refugees asking for help) to get to this reporter's account of how bad things are after 4 days of no electricity, water, food, people dying around them, etc.
I just heard reports that some of the shooting at helicopters was in an effort to let someone know they were down there after being repeatedly passed by over by aircraft for days and STILL NO help insight...

...so yes i stand corrected, as there seemed to have been some shooting but i don't think this should not have caused a full-scale pull back when over 15,000 lives hang in the balance! this would not be tolerated in an affluent area of New Orleans no matter what kind of danger they faced!
so they can find 300 military people to CONTROL RIOTS but NO ONE who can help transport people out of there? THAT IS TOTAL BS! They know that if they go in there with guns they will get EVERY OPPORTUNITY to kill some more people after these people have been left there to die - I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS SH!T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
