They're not letting the RedCross in!!!! They think people would want to stay in urine soaked astroturf or the disease ridden floodwater outside if they had a little food, water, and a blankie to tide them over? How would you feel? So that isn't a relevant question to them because they're poor black folks, right? And they don't want the RedCross folk to come in contact with the scary poor black folks. So thousands of people are still being kept in the urine soaked astroturf with corpses!

And this after the head of FEMA saying they didn't want to move in until they heard from NOLA officials so they wouldn't be in the way--yes, a catastrophic disaster is a time for such territorial niceties. And Bush's spectacular delays--he used lies to wage war and leave Iraq in ruins and he's absolutely incompetent at home--what else does he have to do to get impeached? Oh, but he's not incompetent--it's just poor black people--what's the rush?

Why weren't the hospitals evacuated immediately?

So many people have died after the hurricane struck that should be alive today. And not a single terrorist can be blamed for this. Not a one.

Did you see this quote from the Red Cross's FAQ:

Our presence would keep people from evacuating and encourage others to come into the city.

Yeah, I'm sure that if the Red Cross were let in to help trapped people, suddenly people from the surrounding areas will go back into NOLA. WHAT?!?!?!?! I don't even understand the logic behind that at all--even if I try putting my 'conservative cap' on to think like the enemy. So fucking crazy...

This whole thing has just been seriously unbelievable to me. One thing after another. Unreal.

And at every turn, they keep making it worse--they're still turning away help.
