NEW ORLEANS CONVENTION CENTER
Martin Savage reporting on Msnbc. " At dusk (7PM/8PM) helicopter dropped off some food and water - enough for a couple of hundred people - there are 10,000 people here" then he showed video of the sick people and babies and said " this is not Iraq or Somalia".

I'm going to say it again. This is lihop and genocide.

You, I , we need to call every rep, congressperson, military person, media person, newspaper - CALL, dont e mail...to get them
food and water.

By tomorrow those black people will be dropping like flies, and those bastids are going to put a blackout on the news of it I'll bet
you.

2. I think it's murder by the guard, fema, and the feds. Another
reporter was told the authorities have no intention of evacuating them. Do not intend going near them.

5. This is Congressman Jesse Jackson, the son's, phone & fax
maybe he can get hold of his dad.

They need someone of that stature to get them help.

Sweet Jesus. Someone has to save those people.

4. They are trying to provoke a riot so they can go in with force
Right now the victims are "winning" the PR battle and we cannot have that. They may have delayed to make this worse to throw off the Abu Grieb pictures, the lies that led us into iraq the stolen election investigations going forward

They believe their own hype about the people there and have underestimated them.

8. this situation should be blamed on the mayor and governor...
fema was not told till today that people had been sent there. The police in the city apparently sent people there with no one to receive them. I'm simply amazed that the city had absolutely no plan in place. The feds only help with the funds and bringing in the long term supplies. They do not plan these activities as they are not as familiar with the local issues. I wouldn't be surprised if Bush doesn't give a shit anyway....but the mayor and governors office have got to get on the ball. I haven't seen either of them in 24 hours...no wonder.

9. I agree.
The federal role should be one of support. Seemingly having NO plan whatsoever for this predictable turn of events is the fault of the city and the state. They've known for DECADES this could happen... where's the plan???
