2. 3,000 of them.

That's what I read.

3. I heard on the local NO station that they had 150 NG outside the Superdome

That's the only mention I've heard of so far, but I'm sure there are more...

I hope they stay safe - everyone down there... :(

4. What Are They There For?

I don't mean to be smart about it - is that the safest place for them to ride out the storm and be close to areas where they expect to be able to do good afterward?

6. They were there to 'secure' the area...

from what I saw on the channel 4 local NO coverage; they were there to check to make sure no one brought guns or drugs into the 'Dome.

Actually, I have no idea whether the 150 NG actually stayed with the people in the Dome... They may have been redeployed somewhere else... No idea...

5. Rememeber the last major hurricane that hit Florida?

The one where the media whores claimed that approx. 40 people had died, when online many residents have said that the number was over 300.

The reason? 'Cause Jebby had sent the Florida NG to Iraq.

7. doubtless the numbers will be lied about this time, too n/t
