Slappie

Prior to the aftermath, yes. Had they taken the correct actions, the federal gov't wouldnt of had so much to screw up. Had they followed Mississippi's lead and declared NO and the surrounding parishes Disaster Areas before the storm hit.. We wouldn't be having this comversation. But, then you have to go back about 40 years and wonder why the money the Army Copr of Engineers has been requesting to rebuild and reinforce the levee's went. Hmmmmmmmmm La. was making WAYYY to much money of gambling to worry about the levee's in NO.

N2... check the thread "are you there, Gold Coast?" Kreg's posted in there a few times. Like I said, I'm probably late.. but my cell phone went on vacation over the weekend. When I found it, it had totaly wasted it's batteries. So after a charge and a physical exam. I discovered the messages. 1 was from our Mississippi brother Kreg.. Sue me I'm not deaf. I'm just lazy and a bit tardy with my info. "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

Opps yea.. N2 "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

I'm not, I just figured I'd fuel the fire a bit. This tradgedy has nothing to do with Bush. I am only assuming the right wingers are pointing the fingers at Bush because it's an oportune time. When they should be pointing their collective finger at the agencies responsible for the emergency.. Homeland Security & FEMA. "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

I had lost my phone over the weekend. I got a call while it was on vacation. It wasn't a drunk dial but I'll forgive him. Kreg called to say he'll be in Miss. to clean up his apt and see what he's got left over the next week. He also is doing fine and wasn't hurt. He also says he's got a place to stay (his ship) so not to worry. I'm probably a bit late with this info but I figured I'd post anyways.

From: Rick Murchison Subject: Politics over duty This is a post from a fellow over in Merritt Is, FL, a reporter who's been researching what went on before the storm hit I think all of Nagin's pomp and posturing is going to bite him hard in the near future as the lies and distortions of his interviews are coming to light. On Friday night before the storm hit Max Mayfield of the National Hurricane Center took the unprecedented action of calling Nagin and Blanco personally to plead with them to begin MANDATORY evacuation of NO and they said they'd take it under consideration. This was after the NOAA buoy 240 miles south had recorded 68' waves before it was destroyed. President Bush spent Friday afternoon and evening in meetings with his advisors and administrators drafting all of the paperwork required for a state to request federal assistance (and not be in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act or having to enact the Insurgency Act). Just before midnight Friday evening the President called Governor Blanco and pleaded with her to sign the request papers so the federal government and the military could legally begin mobilization and call up. He was told that they didn't think it necessary for the federal government to be involved yet. After the President's final call to the governor she held meetings with her staff to discuss the political ramifications of bringing federal forces. It was decided that if they allowed federal assistance it would make it look as if they had failed so it was agreed upon that the feds would not be invited in. Saturday before the storm hit the President again called Blanco and Nagin requesting they please sign the papers requesting federal assistance, that they declare the state an emergency area, and begin mandatory evacuation. After a personal plea from the President, Nagin agreed to order an evacuation, but it would not be a full mandatory evacuation, and the governor still refused to sign the papers requesting and authorizing federal action. In frustration the President declared the area a national disaster area before the state of Louisiana did so he could legally begin some advanced preparations. Rumor has it that the President's legal advisers were looking into the ramifications of using the insurgency act to bypass the Constitutional requirement that a state request federal aid before the federal government can move into state with troops - but that had not been done since 1906 and the Constitutionality of it was called into question to use before the disaster. Throw in that over half the federal aid of the past decade to NO for levee construction, maintenance, and repair was diverted to fund a marina and support the gambling ships. Toss in the investigation that will look into why the emergency preparedness plan submitted to the federal government for funding and published on the city's website was never implemented and in fact may have been bogus for the purpose of gaining additional federal funding as we now learn that the organizations identified in the plan were never contacted or coordinating into any planning - though the document implies that they were. The suffering people of NO need to be asking some hard questions as do we all, but they better start with why Blanco refused to even sign the multi-state mutual aid pack activation documents until Wednesday which further delayed the legal deployment of National Guard from adjoining states. Or maybe ask why Nagin keeps harping that the President should have commandeered 500 Greyhound busses to help him when according to his own emergency plan and documents he claimed to have over 500 busses at his disposal to use between the local school busses and the city transportation busses - but he never raised a finger to prepare them or activate them. This is a sad time for all of us to see that a major city has all but been destroyed and thousands of people have died with hundreds of thousands more suffering, but it's certainly not a time for people to be pointing fingers and trying to find a bigger dog to blame for local corruption and incompetence. Pray to God for the survivors that they can start their lives anew as fast as possible and we learn from all the mistakes to avoid them in the future.
