Troopers on Scanner criticizing relief efforts...
Discussions heard:

-"They knew about a hurricane like this one coming for years...I guess whoever drew up the plans for evacuation made a big error"

-"They need better coordination between the agencies involved... that's the problem"


Spin this, Rove! Smear campaigns against the rescuers?

2. the federal government is not letting anyone help
they claim to be afraid to go in there because of the looting. I'm listening and watching MSM. When they do send a little aid, it's only enough for a few hundred people. Why isn't anyone overriding the Federal government, if they are too afraid to get them out, can't the at least send water and food. My God we that much for people in Afghanistan.

Have they become so arrogant and blatent in their actions that they are going to murder all these people? This is genocide right before my very eyes and theres nothing I can do to stop it.

I'm so ashamed of my government. It all seems so hopeless.

3. Apparently they are preparing...
...to send 2 buses with 70 elderly and babies to Ft. Worth tonight.

as the Trooper said..."we're loading 'em up and then we're getting the hell out of here"

Also sounds like someone is finally coming to get the vets at the VA hospital and evacuate them to Alexandria

Three semi's with MRE's headed to Superdome.


The funny thing is that this is the state police scanner and here there's constant activity. I was listening to the NG scanner earlier and it was either dead silence or complete confusion about how many troups there were and what they were doing. Absolutely no coordination....There's your federal response thus far!!
