[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by edbenton</i> <br /><br />Word to the wise the mayor of New Orleans is a Republican and he is VERY PI$$ED off even the President is angry. The general in charge is litterly directing troops for a street corner. The Army Corp of Engineers has been saying for years that New Orleans was at risk. One reason why they kept the river flowing like they did what the port facilatys at NEw Orleans are some of the best in the world. Rebuilding those docks would cost around 15billion also rerouting the railroads to the new port is about another billion. The people who stayed behind are those who HAD NO WAY TO GET OUT OF THE CITY. In addition the hospitals were still full of critically ill people. Nurses are saying that it is to the point that do we use supplies on someone who probaly not make it or save them for someone who will make it. <br /> <br />I know I come across as a Bush Hater and I am one, BUT I have a Brother in the Air Force and 3 FRIENDS IN THE ARMY 2 OF WHICH ARE OVER IN IRAQ. My brother said in 2000 that if Bush won we are going to take out Hussien since in 91 he made his daddy look like a fool. Also Bushes inner circle knew that the LINE OF BS HE SOLD US ABOUT GOING TO WAR WAS NOT WORTH THE PAPER IT WAS WRITTEN ON. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Maybe some couldn't get out, but I think the turds with the guns stayed for other reasons. As for the nurses deciding on the use of supplies, your brother and other friends can tell you all about triage and why it is done. Sad but efficent method of saving lives.
