What part of Bush could have taken control of the National Guard on his
own authority did you not understand?
MoserRJ said:Today, Fox is reporting, (I realize that Kurt wants a link and
wouldn't believe Fox anyhow) that the Red Cross was in the area of
the Convention Center and the Dome with food and water but the
Louisana Emergency Group (don't know exact name) would not let them
deliver it. They wanted the people out of the City and said if they
were fed and watered they would not leave.
On one hand NO was crying for food and water and on the other hand
hand another NO group refused the Red Cross entry to both places.
And Bush is to blame????????
Leythos said:With all that you seem to be missing, I'm sure we would be hearing
from you about how Bush stepped on the Govenor if he had - it was Her
call to play politics, it was her call to hang herself in the name of
politics.
If he had taken control away without giving her a chance people would
be slamming him for that....
So, it's still a fact, only small areas were impacted as much as N/O.
It's also a fact that there is a clearly documented plan designed by
N/O for such a natural disaster, which was clearly not followed
through on (yes, parts were followed, but important parts were not
implemented).
It's a fact that the governor turned down Federal Help and delayed for
what appears to be 24 hours.
It's a fact that the state didn't stage supplies and resources in safe
areas to respond to a situation which has been an issue for more than
100 years...

"The state Homeland Security Department had requested--and continues to
request--that the American Red Cross not come back into New Orleans
following the hurricane. Our presence would keep people from evacuating
and encourage others to come into the city."
This would seem to suggest that this was requested before the hurricane
and the flood hit.
"The original plan was to evacuate all the residents of New Orleans to
safe places outside the city. With the hurricane bearing down, the city
government decided to open a shelter of last resort in the Superdome
downtown. We *applaud* this decision and believe it saved a significant
number of lives."
"As the remaining people are evacuated from New Orleans, the most
appropriate role for the Red Cross is to provide a safe place for people
to stay and to see that their emergency needs are met. We are fully
staffed and equipped to handle these individuals once they are evacuated."
No where in the Red Cross FAQ does it say or even come close to suggesting
that trucks of food and water "was in the area of the Convention Center
and the Dome" at any time before or after the hurricane and flood.

Really? If it is a fact, then show us a link to a credible news source
that backs up your alleged "FACT!"
kurttrail said:NewsMax is hardly credible. Give me the link to the Post article NewsMax
claims it is quoting.
MoserRJ said:I might also add that all the experts have stated that the First
Response is the responsibility of the Local & State Govts and the Feds come
after WHEN REQUESTED!
Leythos said:Show me a reputable link stating that it isn't true.
And since none of the links that anyone has posted for you are
considered credible in your mind - please provide us with a set of
trusted new sources that you find "reputable"
Simple litmus test. Any news agency that didn't report the stinkboat
lies as facts.
Peter said:Admit it, any source you disagree with is you deem as not credible.
This is just sport for you, being so disagreeable. You've stopped to
the level of a troll, if you weren't one already.
Your post doesn't make any sense because it was top posted. Learn how toAnd of course if he had you would be complaining he overstepped his power,
after all she only asked for 24 hours. *sniff sniff*
LOL! I can't help it that most of the links the Bush Apologists present
are from highly suspect sources.
I'd trust the National Enquirer before I'd trust NewsMax. Or
WorldNutDaily. Or the Moonie Times.
Leythos said:Diversionary methods don't cut it on this simple question: What
on-line media sources do you trust to properly report the facts? Name
two or three as I know you don't limit your information to just one
source.
Leythos said:So that we may not waste our time with links that you don't trust,
please provide a list of a few that you do trust.
Plato said:While I do not like Bush personally, nor his staff, nor how he
operates the office of the president, that is inmaterial. The
established protocol is, and has been, exactly as you said.
LOL! I already told you my litmus test. But I gave posted a list of
news sources that aren't credible.
Leythos said:If you can't post a list of any that you trust then you are just
playing a game. Your not being able to list one source you trust for
news, after you were so demanding of us to post links, seems to
strongly indicate you're just asking for links to BS.
