WTF?!

1. Did they give a reason?

4. the people

are so desperate to get on the boats, that they're endangering the FEMA crews.

6. People shooting at rescuers

A NG soldier was shot in a helicopter, and a bunch of boats were shot at this morning. They're suspending operations until the security problem can be dealt with (which probably means putting armed soldiers on the boats to shoot back).

2. Worried about safeguarding the rescuers.

They really need a National Guard presence there.

9. What is this, a George Romero movie? This is insane!

If this is true, I would welcome a bloodless military coup to remove the Bush junta.

I can't even fathom what is going on down there

10. rescuers say "it's too dangerous"

these people are SO desparate... like drowning people who grag the recuer down.
oh wait.. they ARE drowning! and starving and their thirsty bodies are probably going into some sort of shock

Bush, Chertoff, et al are SO going to hell
