I can not believe that Harry would use the plight of New Orleans for
political gain. This is a new low, even for Harry.

All I have to say is F*ck You Harry.

Is it because our best assets are being wasted in Iraq? Is it because
we're stupid?

It ain't rocket science. It is three days after the hurricane, and we're
not doing any better for those in the most need than the government of
Bangladesh might do?

So you're saying pointing out the complete ineptness of our government
to provide basic food, shelter and safety should be ignored because it
makes some politicians look bad? Yeah, screw the needy, let's make
sure the white collar criminals don't look bad.

Two days ago, there was a huge convoy of trucks that left Canada with relief
supplies for New Orleans. That convoy arrived today in Louisiana. This
is a group of Mennonite farmers from Ontario that has for years had a
warehouse of supplies, ready, in case of need. This same group of very
simple people sent many containers of relief supplies to Thailand after the
Tsunami.

Hi,
I'm not a US citizen, and I will not criticise your governement on an inside
issue.
But how should we understand that the copters aren't in there, lifting the
people out of central New Orleans?

Smithers is active again, eh? I guess he wore out the sheep.

I just saw a bunch of Bush Administration officials on TV patting
themselves on the back for their great efforts to date, and the Homeland
Security Director saying everything is under control at the SuperDome. I
suppose no one told him about the news reports and videos showing people
dying inside the Dome for lack of food, water, and medical attention. Most
of the emphasis of these Bush officials was on law enforcement, not
relief.

No one told them that disaster victims who are being fed and sheltered and
receiving proper care are less likely to loot?

What a crock this Bush Administration is. They ought to be driven out of
town.

That's odd, Sean Hannity, the darling of the right wing liars, while
whining about NOT making this a political issue, peppered his diatribe
with many, many insults pointed at the left, and many, many remarks
about how if left wingers were in power, how they'd be inept at getting
anything done.

This morning's news mentioned that some helicopters had been shot at around
the Superdome, so pilots were refusing to fly until that problem was
crushed.

Harry pontificating from the comfort of a northeastern yacht club
barstool or from the safe ivory towers of academe is like the blowhard
upper crust brits discussing the irish potato famine. Those of us in
the real world know something of real world difficulties, whereas Harry
is merely a theorist, and a poor one at that.

Get a grip Harry. First - how many have died in the SuperDome? I
suppose you choose to ignore the fact that the Coast Guard is
constantly flying choppers in an effort to rescue trapped individuals.
How about the fact that over 5 ships are now on station or on the way
to New Orleans (they all left as soon as the storm passed) to provide
supplies, rescue operations and medical assistance? The National Guard
is providing rescue operations as well as security. Did it occur to
you that the water just stopped pouring over the levy this morning
which now gives them a chance to repair pumps, hook up generators etc,
The pipeline is already back in operation and the administration has
agreed to tap strategic oil supplies if needed to get the refineries
back on line. FEMA is assessing options to provide housing once the
water is pumped out. I guess you expect to be able to sit on Bourbon
St. and sip a Hurricane two days after one of the most destructive
storms in history has passed?

No one told them that disaster victims who are being fed and sheltered
and receiving proper care are less likely to loot?
Have you ever been near the housing project off Rampart? This is where
many of the Superdome refugees came from. I'm sure there are some fine
poor folks there and I'm sure there are some that are stealing to
provide food etc. for their families but you can bet your bippy that
many of them couldn't wait for the storm to pass so they could take
advantage of the opportunity. Ask any cop or citizen in New Orleans
and they'll tell you that the housing project is a rats nest of crack
addicts and thieves. Even the cops won't go in unless they absolutely
have to. I had my car broken into there and it's amazing that someone
could shatter a window, climb in and steal two purses in broad
daylight within 75 feet of a bunch of people sitting on their porches
and when you ask the witnesses the standard answer was "I didn't see
nothin' ". I wound up having to buy the purses back (most likely from
the guys that stole them) and while sorting the contents we found we
were blessed with a crack pipe.

Don't know what Harry said, but your attitude is completely assinine. Do you
think dropping the 82d Airborne Division into flooded New Orleans would be the
right thing to do?

How many scenes of people *getting* food and water have you seen? If it bleeds,
it leads, and if it can be used to reflect badly on the administration, then the
major media will go for it.
