Superdome to be evacuated |
|
3:25 P.M. - With conditions in the hurricane-ravaged city of New Orleans rapidly deteriorating, Gov. Kathleen Blanco said Tuesday that people now huddled in the Superdome and other rescue centers need to be evacuated.
"The situation is untenable," Blanco said during a news conference. "It's just heartbreaking."

4. Well at least someone is making a command decision |
|
Since we have no real commander in chief. He's busy eating cake and strumming his guitar. AWOL again. Pathetic.

When they figure out how to do it. For all the years they have talked about the possibility of a cat 4 or 5 hurricane hitting NO, and saying that it was a matter of when and not if you would think that they would have had at least some kind of contengincy plans in place.

8. What about Cruise Ships? |
|
Empty them of the rich people and send them at full speed to New Orleans to get those people

10. Foreign registration. |
|
I'll bet most of those ships are registered in foreign countries, not American. (so can't be commandeered)

11. I don't know if they could get them there |
|
I don't know what kind of shape the river is in. I think their best bet would be to get people to the west and north of the city then bus them to camps in drier locales.
