If the US Coast Guard had busses, theyd've droven them through all the sludge.

I have to ask myself if I were the gov or mayor and hundreds of thousands of lives were my responsibility in case of disaster, what would I have done?

I don't mean to be harsh or unfeeling or 'mean'. But I saw that storm Saturday evening. It was enough of a threat for me to leave if I was in it's path. Based on the reports that it was a well known fact what could and would happen in New Orleans if a major hurricane hit there, if 'you' lived there, what would you do. Saturday night, not Sunday afternoon. Was Greyhound still running? Was it over capacity? I don't know. But I tend to think that there are a lot of people that could have hauled bellybutton that didnt'.

I'm not saying they don't deserve any and all help we can give, I'm just wondering what they were thinking.

Notice the "could have". I know there were many that had no choice.

LA Gov is a democrat
NO mayor is a democrat

the majority of those "left behind" are democrats

why is this a Republican's fault?

some should tell JJ and the like to check voter registration...

if Katrina hadn't turned at the last second, dropped from a CAT5 to a CAT4 storm, this would be a body recovery not a rescue/transport

it ain't the feds fault the local yokals screwed the pooch on this one...hopefully the voting populous are smart enough to see that

For those of you thinking that it might possibly be Bush's fault, I ask you to look up an Ammendment Number 10 of the United States of America Constitution.

You need to remember that about half of those Policemen haven't been heard from. I'm sure some left. But others are just missing.
People are people. Cops aren't superhuman. Though they are paid so much money that I'm sure they have no hesitation about leaving their families to the wolves to go stop others from killing, looting, raping, etc.

I'm sure thousands of families who have lost loved ones will understand, that the police officers families are more important.   Police officers usually take an oath to protect and serve the public.  This oath does not include exception clauses.  This goes for the Mayor, the governor, and the President of the United States.  For the officers who were brave enough to stay I you..  For the ones who purposely abadoned their post I hope you burn in Hell...
