Was "security risk" TRUMPED UP to provide an EXCUSE for non-response?

[Proud2BAmurkin]

Looking that way to me.

[stlsaxman]

1. yup.

[Zenlitened]

2. Yep. Sure seems like it.

When the head of the FAA controlling aircrat in the regions says there were no reports of gunfire... you have to wonder.

[EC]

3. yes... n/t

[SammyWinstonJack]

4. It would seem so.

If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, chances are it's a duck.

[Henny Penny]

5. yes... and to explain why so many died....

"We tried to save them, but they kept shooting us...!"

:mad: :mad: :mad:

[MissWaverly]

6. Have to agree

and bringing in combat troops instead of doctors was no accident

[applegrove]

7. But first they had to stand down until the "security risk" got high enough

No army sent in to maintain order till - Day 5. Before that there were 300 NG in New Orleans.

[RandiFan1290]

8. It probably took 4-5 days to secure the Central Business District

That was the real "security risk"

[A Brand New World]

9. Yes I think so. It's some of the same excuses used in Iraq - they've

forgotten where they are.

[bring_em_home_bush]

10. Yes no doubt about it at all nt

[RBHam]

11. Um...

I called it while Carol Costello and Chris Lawrence of CNN were runmimng a real time PSY-Op...police station under siege, rescue workers assailed, snipers shooting at helicopters, fires, explosions...

Rummys's special ops and "contractors" did well.

[Lindsay]

12. Yeah, until those pesky kids like Anderson Cooper

got in the way!

[RBHam]

17. They're keeping HIM and Christiane away from New Orleans...

There's a reason.

[Tyranny_R_US]

13. Yes

[NightOwwl]

14. One word...

YES

[Cocoa]

15. I believe so

[Flying Dream Blues]

16. YES

[boston bean]

18. yes nt
