Do ya think 100's of Guard helicopters would help RIGHT NOW???

[Mika]

I'm just so mad right now at what Bush (and the repugs) have done.

[Tesla]

1. They are getting "terrist" right now.

[havocmom]

2. From now until dooms day, the neocons should be shouted down anywhere

they go, with chants of "People on roofs, people drowning, where's our Guard?"

[Mika]

3. Our guard could be saving lives here. Instead they're killing over there

:puke:

[Viva_La_Revolution]

4. That will be my zinger at the office today....

"Just think of all the people we could have saved if the Guard was here instead of over in Iraq."
:mad:

I hate this evil cabal

:mad:

[wli]

5. need to scream it from the rooftops

If our guard were here, they could have been saved.

[Mika]

9. I think that some are screaming it from their rooftops right now.

:(

[Double T]

6. What we are witnessing is the total failure of our federal government....

to get the priorities straight and it will cost ALL of us dearly. Impeach the bush administration NOW!!!!!!

[Corgigal]

13. Yes and we should have learned that

after 9-11 that these people have no clue. Why a military airlift wasn't accomplished on Sunday pisses me off to NO damn end.

America isn't suppose to behave like that.

[Horse with no Name]

15. Indeed you are

Too bad most of the sheeple aren't astute enough to watch the local media streaming out of the New Orleans area and are relying on Faux and the other corporate media who have "stood down" on what is really going on down there.
All the sheeple know is that those people stayed there of their own accord and are stealing now.
Sound familiar? After all, the people in the military VOLUNTEERED.
It makes me ill.

[Jacobin]

7. People will die because the National Guard is not there

in sufficient numbers with equipment.

That is simply an undeniable fact and its happening right now

[Mika]

8. Yep. MSM is silent. So silent it is deafening!

All I've seen is a constant replay of one or two Coast Guard helo rescues off of a rootop or two. I know that the CC is doing their best, but.. how many will die in NO and surrounding areas because of this TERRIBLE FAILURE!


:mad:
:argh:

[Tesla]

10. Maybe this will open people's eyes for the need to keep the guard

IN OUR NATION!!!!

[Mika]

12. Will the MSM ever make a note of this need?

Don't bet on it.

:argh:

[DoYouEverWonder]

11. Too bad half the National Guard

and their equipment is in Iraq right now instead of home where they're supposed to be.

[Xenotime]

14. This is what happens...

when you get caught with your pants down. This administration got too busy shoving "democrapcy" down everyone else's throat that we can't wipe our own ass. Great Job! <grumble>

[Mika]

16. Now they're diverting helos from repairing levees?

Not delivering sandbags and repair materials?

:wtf:

[Skwmom]

17. YES! n/m

[Proud2BAmurkin]

18. kick

.

[theHandpuppet]

19. I see scores of helos and transport planes every day, above my house

They practice flying in and out, in and out -- there's a large ANG unit here. I keep wondering why our supposed COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF isn't diverting any and all resources like this to NO.
