Please give me some response, I haven't heard this. Have you?
I received this from a freeper nephew.

145 N.O. city buses are sitting (underwater) at a storage lot about one and a half miles from the Superdome. They're still there. Over 800 school and city buses sit in at least two other storage lots, all underwater (yet the employee/driver parking lot was sandbagged and those cars are dry, not the buses). Tell me this was Bush's fault.

2. Geez, there have been numerous threads on this already
It is a pathetic, desperate attempt to shift responsibility and save their guy's sorry ass.

Scan through a couple of pages, you will find your answers.

4. Yes it is, If HLS and FEMA had only looked at the Pre Plan for this city
they would have taken action before the Flood. Way before.

But they did not....take any real action till much later,,, by then too little too late.

Doesn't anybody read the previous threads before posting anymore?
First it was a dozen "announcements" of Rehnquist's death; now it's the same question popping up again and again.

14. With the search engine disabled, it is difficult to know whether something
has already been posted.

Unless you search one page at a time but then you really don't know which thread, so you have to do it everywhere.

12. Hey doesn't anyone quit posting dupes anymore?
Lydia,
Forgive me, as I said, I am pressed for time and would like a short-cut. I don't often do this, although I did post a dupe once.

10. Here's what to tell your freeper friends.
Edited on Mon Sep-05-05 02:33 PM by alfredo
Ask them if they would have been willing to leave their families behind to die so you can evacuate strangers from NO? Would you have ordered others to make that sacrifice?

11. and we had who to drive them? the national guard could have looted
excuse me commandeered them, but they did jack. they assumed responsibility and did nothing. Nagin and the gov asked for help- were offered help- FEMA and the Feds denied it.

13. From the BBC
But how much support was there at the Superdome? And how much city transport was actually used? There is a photo showing city school buses still lined up, in waterlogged parking lots, after the hurricane.
