Oh, absolutely. This is outside anybody's plan.

Where is the heavy military construction machine? It's in Iraq building hard bases,

There's been motion recently. "we were kicked out of Saudi" is s

It's apparently in motion. The timeline will need to be subject to,

got rough, hurricane-wise, in Florida? They weren't... end of story.

You do understand what the 'hang-up' is with their new constitution, do

I will sort of buy that concept... but why is it then, that civilians with boats in tow
from adjoining states and as far a way as California could simply drive in and
start to help ??

I suspect the storm itself destroyed the Guard's ability to move.

If the conclusion is: the Guard was misdeployed into the

The "Guard" is definitely a volunteer service to "community, state and country"
and in that order. Why Jowe Blowe the shoe salesman is off in Iraq without
massive outrage from the American people is beyond me. This administration
has enjoyed far too much impunity. But anyway, yes, that's where the Guard
and all of there equipment happen to be at the moment... fighting an impossible
to fight cough-cough "war" on an undefinable enemy.

As to the draft.... luckily, HR-163 was defeated last year, but variants have been
floating around since then. Keep eyes open here... http://www.sss.gov/

Where was our illustrious new "Homeland Zecurity," who is now charged with

Homeland Security is a miserable failure. They give totally rural elements of
this country huge amounts of money for crap they will never use. All they
have to do is meet the qualifications and apply for the money. There's a bunch
of small-town sheriffs getting rich off of these sorts of blunders.

He held 'photo-ops' and was pressed into PCs only when necessary. He

I could go on...

Thank you Diebold and homeland zecurity. Sorry Les, but I'm really

I usually stay the hell out of this stuff (it *IS* an audio newsgroup
after all... there are other forums for these discussions that are much
more appropriate), but I saw David's name and figgered there would be
something worth reading so here I am.

Vancouver sent its Disaster Response Team. They specialize in rescue
and stabilization in preparation for recovery. Their offer of help
wasn't accepted until Thursday. How many days in was that?

They've now been sent home. I guess there isn't much point in having a
rescue team there this long after the incident.

Our station sent a camera and reporter to cover the Team's activities,
but they couldn't. There are FEMA checkpoints on all the passable
routes, and our guys got turned back at all of them, ostensibly in the
interest of protecting their safety. Our team's protestations that they
were more interested in getting the story than they were in their own
safety fell on deaf ears.

Either the authorities are really dedicated to protecting people, or
they really don't want TV cameras in there.

Sure Arny... You're running overtime in defense of an indefensible act
of negligence in responding to a catastrophy here.

German and Italian TV both reported on the quick set-up in remote areas
for the Bush photo ops... and how quickly the set-up was torn down after
the CIC left the area.

Sorry, I wasn't very specific. By "there" I meant whatever area the
search and rescue team was entering. Obviously the media have not been
shut out, but they're not being allowed to just go anywhere they want.

You're ****ing me off with your babbling... I'm afraid I'll have to drop
out of this **** for a few days before I make people mad at me.

Can you imagine walking away from the people close to the photo op?
Just walking away, getting in your helicopter and removing the heavy
equipment placed there for the pictures? Just walking away and leaving
them all over again ???

Maybe I have a limited imagination for gore or distressing

disturbing than that which has already been shown.

Well then again there's that nursing home in New Orleans
with what 80 dead bodies in it. Hmm 3 days New Orleans heat,
I bet the bodies are bloating pretty nicely and might even
start splitting. Possiblity of animal feeding, as well.

Am I supposed to be upset about not seeing that on the

After speaking with several of my friends in network news, mostly audio
and camera crew people, one indisputable fact is clear: The networks
knew about the potential of Katrina's potential well in advance and
were prepared to cover the possible catastrophe with personel,
transportation and hardware. When got closer, the calls came to grab
gear and go down. When it hit, more crews mobilized and went down.
In fact, many of them were taking part in rescue operations because
they were needed to. TV crews and outside individuals kept arriving
throughout but federal help literally did not arrive for days.


I'm not as angry about a goverment's slowness to act on something (when
I don't know the details of what it takes to turn proclamations into
bodies in motion in DC) as much as the fact that the media was so much
more on top of the situation that if camera and microphone operators
were our best bet to save lives instead of FEMA crews, we would have
been better off. They were there waiting for them.

It was a corps recovery operation in an empty building, dogs and all,
arranged to go on as staged background for GW's performance.


Fakes R US. The moon landing was a TV thing. Now get a good night's
sleep and enjoy the KoolAid.

"FEMA Chief Sent Help Only When Storm Ended"

Associated Press

The government's disaster chief waited until hours after Hurricane
Katrina had already struck the Gulf Coast before asking his boss to
dispatch 1,000 Homeland Security workers to support rescuers in the
region - and gave them two days to arrive, according to internal
documents.

Michael Brown, director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency,
sought the approval from Homeland Security Secretary Mike Chertoff
roughly five hours after Katrina made landfall on Aug. 29. Brown said
that among duties of these employees was to "convey a positive image"
about the government's response for victims.

Before then, FEMA had positioned smaller rescue and communications
teams across the Gulf Coast. But officials acknowledged Tuesday the
first department-wide appeal for help came only as the storm raged.

Meanwhile, the airline industry said the government's request for help
evacuating storm victims didn't come until late Thursday afternoon. The
president of the Air Transport Association, James May, said the
Homeland Security Department called then to ask if the group could
participate in an airlift for refugees.

As for boiling water, what would you
use to heat it up?

The city has been dry and sunny for days since the
hurrcane - plenty of dry wood around above the water in
the form of houses.


You really are a classic boy scout ****wit clot Arny !



Since you can't keep a civil tongue Graham, end of
discussion.


Promise?
