The Reason You Didn't See A Show of Force in NOLA......
very few police, NG, FEMA people, etc ---- is that they are in the Green Zone.

I understand that they are trying to recruit Bremer to come to NO to organize things. He's refusing because there won't be enough money around for him to steal.

FEMA head said he didn't know about the situation at the Convention Center. Rumsfeld indicated he knew where the refugee's where. They are to the North, the South, the East, the West......

Condi indicated that they had no idea that NO would ever be susceptible to flooding. Not a clue.

A PDB received by * when on vacation that said "Katrina Determined To Strike in U.S." was ignored.

Tenet said it was a "slam dunk" (no pun intended)

Civil law or common law? It could get bloody.
