10,000 dead?

If you have a problem with the Patriot act or the war I suggest you take a look at the democrats voting record on the issues Its quite obvious that the Patriot act wasnt stringent enough on matters of green cards or immigration either.

and while you vurbano still point one finger at buses, you don't even see that 4 remaining fingers point back you and Mr. Bush slammed the train against the wall. Even he took responsibility for in words - he still is there, like nothing happened.
Or is just waiting for the horse, which takes him into the sunset ?

Mr Bush took responsibility for any failure of the fed govt. But the mayor is the one that failed to execute his evacuation plan and killed all of those poor people.

My comment was that there is a local government program here for new houses at virtually no interest and no qualifying for single black mothers.

I further clarified that it may also be open to whites but they dont appear to want to live in those areas of the city.

Its true. Now Get the hell over it. Dont turn yourself into some Jesse Jackson type idiot on a mission to counter every fact with accusations of racism.

Get a clue. You did not say the word, you defined it. Comments about blacks filled with hate = racism:

Stop spreading your clueless bullsh*t. They declared emergency two days before Katrina arrived. They simply lacked any kind of resources to enforce an evacuation.
You're talking out of your bottom parts again - Bush hijacked 50% of their NG to Iraq[/g] and there wasn't any federal help, clueless stupid @ss Brown, the amateur loser chief of FEMA was waiting for a request... OMG, what a loser impotent administration is this, Jesus.

The mayor had enough buses for at least 15,000 evacuees. No one needed to die like they did. The hundreds of poor who died could have been saved. Nagin also turned down an offer from Amtrak on Saturday to evacuate people. He had a plan and failed to execute it.

The plan correctly anticipates that approximately 100,000 residents would be unable or unwilling to leave. Therefore, as soon as a hurricane reaches Category 3 intensity, it is the MAYOR's exclusive responsibility to implement a forced evacuation no later than 72 hours in advance of landfall - well before any possible communications disruption. The plan states that all public transportation systems (buses, etc.) are to be used, and are to be assisted by city police. Instead, Mayor Nagin did nothing. The buses sit neatly parked and idle, and the people were left to fend for themselves, and die.

And for your information, the mayor did not declare a mandatory evacuation until Sunday. If anyone here has lips pasted to their ass its you.

New Orleans Mayor: "CIA Will Wipe Me Out"

September 3, 2005 10:02 p.m. EST



Douglas Maher - All Headline News Staff Reporter

New Orleans, Louisiana (AHN) - Apparently suffering from stress and a bit of paranoia, New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin tells CNN Saturday night that he believes the CIA will "wipe him out" after his criticism of President Bush and the Federal Government in response to Hurricane Katrina.

Mayor Nagin seemed to have calmed down after meeting with President Bush for two hours on Friday but became stressed again over the current situation still unfolding in his city.

The Mayor has come under serious scrutiny and criticism in the last 72 hours after photos of parking lots filled with school buses that were sitting in a foot of water were released on the Internet. Many critics of the Mayor and Gov. Blanco say the buses could have saved an estimated 20,000 people if they had been used for emergency evacuations which President Bush had declared two days before Katrina hit.

Nine stockpiles of fire-and-rescue equipment strategically placed around the country to be used in the event of a catastrophe still have not been pressed into service in New Orleans, CNN reports Saturday night. Responding to a CNN inquiry, Department of Homeland Security spokesman Marc Short said Friday, "The gear has not been moved because none of the governors in the hurricane-ravaged area has requested it."

A federal official says the department's Office for Domestic Preparedness reminded the Louisiana and Mississippi Governors' offices about the stockpiles on Wednesday and Thursday, but neither governor had requested it.

As the picture becomes much more clear many in Congress believe that a total collapse of communications on the local and state level contributed to the catastrophic conditions the city of New Orleans has been under.

"It has become apparent that after President Bush declared the state of Louisiana a state of emergency a few days before the hurricane hit, communication with the White House and FEMA from city officials in New Orleans and the Governor collapsed," says Senator Dr. Bill Frist, who is currently helping victims with medical needs around the city.

"Our priority now is to save as many lives as possible, and things are improving by the hour," adds Frist.

Of course, you're clueless again - no surprise, business as usual, vurbano is talking out his bottom parts.
First, my friend, it's the Governor who declared state of emergency.
Second, my friend, she did it on 26th, three days before Katrina made landfall on 29th.

Even Washington Post corrected its stupid misinformed article: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/09/03/AR2005090301680.html

Correction to This Article
A Sept. 4 article on the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina incorrectly said that Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Babineaux Blanco (D) had not declared a state of emergency. She declared an emergency on Aug. 26.
