18. now cnn has the video==guard finally coming in---

[rodeodance]

20. they are going to the DOME

[Spike from MN]

32. Exactly. Like everything else with this administration, this

was a staged event to make * look like a hero. Nevermind all those that died while they help up supplies outside the city in order to stage this event. Oh, and if you were going to stage something like this, 3 days ago would have been the time to do it.

[rodeodance]

34. I dread Bush getting credit for this!!! and he will to some degree

[Spike from MN]

43. I agree.

But the main thing is to get the people of NO food, water and medical attention, get the rescue missions going, and get the people evacuated. I don't like Dubya getting credit either but as long as the people there get some help, that's the main thing for me right now. I'm thinking Dubya might already be in too deep so it's hard to say how much good this will do him.
