Snipers are BS Stories -- We have Nat Guard in Iraq taking fire DAILY !!!!
And they USE these stories to stop aid????

Please tell me why a National Guardsmen can serve abroad but NOT at

home. They are able to "stop somebody/whoever" is firing.


Something tells me we don't know the whole story.

1. Someone mentioned that earlier. We can't act because the
helicopters were shot at? Let's think, who actually flies in helicopters being shot at all the time, and it is their job. Hmmmm. Who is that? Our friggin military. Get them in and help people.

Why no airdrop of food or at least water, why not drop (I heard this on Bill Maher last night) leaflets telling the people stranded in the city who have repeatedly said no one will tell them where to go, drop leaflets to them telling them where to go to so you can get to them. I just don't get it!

2. Our government is on vacation while thousands die, who cares??
The free market will take care of it. Let our government officials eat their gourmet meals in their luxury hotels. Didn't you hear bush say over, over and over again it is hard work. They need their rest.

3. IMCPO...it's not a NOLA citizen sniper. It's someone else
trying to stir the pot. It seems to be working just as planned. :(

4. The sniper is part of a SWAT team "defending" uptown vs. "looting."
There's an article describing the sniper here.
