Comments on: Gustav Sends Gulf Coast Residents Fleeing

Mandatory New Orleans Evacuations Ordered For Sunday Morning

[lloydbest1]

"The entire Louisiana National Guard, over 7,000 members, was activated on Friday. Over 1,500 were sent to New Orleans to assist with evacuations and prevent looting."

It is one thing to shake a finger at those who could have left the last time and didn''t; but it is another entirely to wish destruction on a vunerable city and pray that Gustav wipes it off the map. All too many posts on threads related and previous to this one have called for exactly that.
In view of that angry mean spiritedness it is not unreasonable to expect that many more neanderthal types also wish the same erasure of the Big Easy and have remained silent.
That the levees will hold against Gustav''s onslaught is not a foregone conclusion; they might fail on their own. But at the same time neither is it unreasonable to suggest that an additional 1500 National Guardsmen be sent to New Orleans specifically to patrol the levee system in case some demented soul attempts to blow one open.

skyk-and what did nagin and blanco do when they had 4 days warning on Katrina?? Why did Bush have to beg blanco to call out the National Guard?? As for people suffering, well, seems to me the local and state elected DEMOCRAT officals are to blame for that.
There was an interview on one of the news channels with the NO 9th Ward community leader. When asked if there was a different plan of action this time around the BLACK woman said "Now we have a plan, we didn''t before" Whose fault was that???????

seriously, what is wrong with you sick, demented psychos? why does everything have to have a political and/or religious slant? you make me want to puke.

Liberals thought GWB had the power to steer it to NO, why would the libs think BHO does''''nt.

I also have never seen a storm track 4 days out have a strait line right to NO. Would the leftist in the press and the NWS have there heart set on New Orleans again, kind of looks like it.

It''s hard to figure how anyone can be this uneducated in this nation. How anyone can look at the way the Horrible Person a few call a President acted during this time, when so many people were suffering and dying and try to blame them. It just staggers the mind to believe. WE elect a LEADER, he is supposed to be the leader of ALL the people. When the average person watches as that Leader puts TOTALLY Incompetent People in charge of a VITAL Program like FEMA and then tells us, in the face to that gross incompetence that the person who got that job is doing a fine job, then going to bed?? You have to wonder how far people like that will go in support of the "Party"! You sir are NOT American.. you don''t even have the right to claim to be an American.

I say this time, put Bush, Cheney, and McCain in the Superdome, lock the doors and throw away the keys.

And wait for Gustav.

LOL Well at least that way we won''t have to watch the Worst President in our history just fly over all the death and destruction as he travels to McSame and the eating of the Birthday Cake! Talk about not caring?? That ONE picture of McSame meeting Sir Lies-A-Lot at the Airport and them eating the Birthday Cake is one for the ages!

Another thing is foam. You could build a temporary barrier with that expansion foam crankers put in people''s cars.

Dig a trench around your house about a foot and half deep, maybe 2. And put in a tarp. Then bury the bottom of it. And when the water comes up pull up the tarp. You''ll have to hold it up with something though. Steel pegs or something.
