The Gulf Crisis, day 4
Friday, September 02, 2005
I very much wanted to refrain from going all political on the Flood disaster in New Orleans, and that remains my inclination. However, the stark relief that is cast by our response to this Gulf crisis and the one in Iraq makes itself impossible to ignore. This, from the Army Times (is that an objective enough source?), on the fact that deployment of the National Guard to Iraq has hindered the Guard's presence in the Hurricane relief effort.******************
This morning CNN carried a radio interview originally aired by WWL radio with Ray Nagin, mayor of New Orleans. Ray speaks bluntly, and speaks volumes. "I need troops, man." Check it out.

It is hard to be silent when it is obvious that too little, too late has been done and the also obvious reasons why. Thank you...my sister got out after way too many horrible days trapped in the city of New Orleans. We are glad she is alive. I am upset beyond words for those who did not...not to mention the rest of the southern coastal region.
