God damn it, just put ME in charge!

[Redstone]

Give me the authority, give me a staff of ten people, and a communications center with a staff of twenty, and I'll have those people flying out of New Orleans by the planeload within eighteen hours. And ALL of them out forty-eight hours after that. And food and water for the ones who are waiting. I'm dead serious.

And I'll bet every cent I own that out of the 70,000 DUers, there are five thousand other people who could do it every bit as well as I could.

It ain't fucking rocket science. What is WRONG with those "authorities" down there?

1. In a perfect world, my dear Redstone.

2. A sense of urgency is needed.

The federal government doesn't have that. The hospital ship is leaving Baltimore TOMORROW.

So many people are dying while the federal government dallies. We all saw this hurricane coming.

What is being done to the people of New Orleans?

[AlCzervik]

9. It hasn't left yet??? WTF???? I thought it was supposed to be there

tomorrow.

[Redstone]

3. Oh, one other thing...

I'd need some amphetamines, too.

12. I could hook you up

:hi:

[Redstone]

13. Thanks. Now where's my airplane and staff?

I'm ready to go now. I'll stop by on the way for the Black Beauties.

4. I've been saying the same thing...

Like him or not, in NYC, by noon it was clear on 9/11 that Rudy was going to be calling the shots...coordinating FEMA, National Guard, etc. And Pataki, *ush, et al stood back and let him lead.

Where is the leadership here????

[Redstone]

5. Anybody who's ever run a company or division of a company, or even a

decent-size construction project (not to mention a lot of people who have been military officers - there have been plenty of good ones) could do it.

Like I said, it isn't rocket science. It's logistics.

6. This is what happens when adults are NOT in charge

I agree with you 150% on this

[lildreamer316]

7. Lett's f*&king go.

As soon as I can get my baby to my family to take care of him.
I wish this were true..........

[Redstone]

11. Would that we could. We could kick some ass and save some people.

8. When you elect managers instead of leaders...

This is the end game in a emergency... Managers don't think, leaders do...

[Redstone]

10. But even managers can organize! These people can't seem to find their

asses with both hands!

14. They're dependent on the all-powerful feds who don't give a fuck.

The local and state authorities provided notice. The scientists provided notice. The engineers provided notice.

The BushCO/neoCON run feds waited, weighing materialism and cost to their profiteering against human life.

And, yes, I HATE those evil pricks!!! I wish GOD would strike them down with the suffering and death they have delivered to others.
