If this is true, it's particularly damning to New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin (D) and Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco (D). According to Mr. Shawn. Mexico City has food for 10 days stored in its emergency shelters. He specifically mentioned food, water and "coffee" (and addition I find interesting). He ended the segment with this rhetorical question: "what did the Superdome have? Vending machines?"
Good point.
Via Brother Drudge:
Louisiana disaster plan, pg 13, para 5 , dated 01/00
'The primary means of hurricane evacuation will be personal vehicles. School and municipal buses, government-owned vehicles and vehicles provided by volunteer agencies may be used to provide transportation for individuals who lack transportation and require assistance in evacuating'...
Couple that statement with this AP photo of hundreds of parked school busses that were never used for evacuation of the City in the days before Hurricane Katrina hit, and you can't help but say that the state and local officials completely dropped the ball. It may have taken President Bush a few days to realize that fact. But heck, if I were the president, I would assume that the state and local official would follow the emergency disaster plan that they themselves had devised. Obviously, that didn't happen.
These people are dangerous fools whose incompetence killed people.
