I think we should "stay the course" in New Orleans

[TeddyKGB]

If we pull out now, it'll just give the looters the victory.

When the New Orleans people stand up, we'll stand down.

1. A specific rescue date will only

embolden the looters

20. Once we have overthrown their government

they will greet us with flowers, chocolate and beads. Sure they don't have electricity, water and fuel after the air strikes, but we can get that going in no time. I think the various factions (the looters, the living , and the dead can form a government once they vote for their leaders).

2. Kicked and recommended

Amen.

3. What you said. n/t

[whatever4]

4. ...cause they got oil, ya know nm

[trof]

5. No time to cut and run.

6. Call the white house, your senator, everyone.. We can't just walk away

from dying people!

7. Crazy liberals

If Clinton had fought the hurricanes over there, we wouldn't have to fight them over here! Now look what you've done!

Damn, I'm super-sarcastic today.

8. The president would be happy to send more troops in as soon as

the commanders request them. But there has been no such request.

[DrDan]

9. all of you bleeding-heart liberals are just

giving aid and comfort to mother nature

13. In a word: No

Much as I love my country, I gotta think of myself here...

How, for starters, would I explain that to my children?

11. "Stuff happens," Donald Rumsfeld said.

"Freedom's untidy, and free people are free to make mistakes and commit crimes and do bad things," Rumsfeld said. "They're also free to live their lives and do wonderful things. And that's what's going to happen here."

18. Are you free to live your life if you're dying of dehydration?

"And that's what going to happen here."

19. Maybe we should tell Rummy there's some WMD at the Superdome

In about 2 hours, he'd get the Pentagon to build some temporary floating bridges and send in plenty of support.

16. Yes! "Cut and Run" is NOT a viable option!

If they can shoot at helicopters at Iraq and not back down, FEMA can get their asses into boats and not back down rescuing people!

:grr:

21. The looter's are coming from outside the state.

They should seal the borders. Clean up the city. Go house to house street to street to get rid of the looters. They hate us becouse of our AC.

[nolabels]

22. OMG, out of staters comming in?

We are all doomed...........

[Imagevision]

17. NO unfortunately isn't an upscale like part of Dallas?

if it was the people would be given bottles of Dom and french cusine, thousands hit by Katrina will have died because of incompetance from rescue-mismanagement!

Fema says looters get top priority not those in harms way!

23. It's hard work, but we will perservere. We just have to be patient

and stay the course.
