It's "The Big One"!
Well, it looks like Hurricane Katrina is gonna be bigger and badder
than Camille was in 1969. It's looking like New Orleans will be inundated, and Gulfport-Biloxi will be hit hard, too. Here in Hattiesburg, MS, about 60 miles north of Gulfport, we are expecting hurricane-force winds and rain tomorrow evening. We've dodged several bullets for the past few years, but I don't think there will be any dodging this one! It looks like Katrina has us firmly in her sights. I might put a couple of chickens on the ECB this evening just to make sure we have something to eat for the next couple of days.  -- Stan Marks A waist is a terrible thing to mind. |

Couple of days? Gosh, I hope you keep power and don't get hit too hard. Katrina just passed by us here in Tampa and I'm grateful for that, but I'm sorry for you. I'll be thinking of you. Keep us posted, will you? kili |

As I recommember Camille came ashore in the center of Gulfport at 115 MPH. It put ocean going boats in the street in front of the movie theater in downtown Gulfport. It took out highway 90 and all of the waterfront hotels.

For cryin' out loud. Grow up. I know 6th-graders mature enough to
understand that "***" isn't an insult and that using it as one reflect poorly only on oneself. LOL I think we have a rump ranger here LOL. Ya, it is a insult except for the freaks that choose to live that deviant lifestyle. I just don't understand why folks choose to live in that area. It's nice on the coast but I have a hard time feeling bad for somebody who chooses to live in a area where you know that there is several chances a year to loose your house or worse you life. As for as the idiots whe chose not to evacuate Hmmm, No sympathy there. This may sound harsh but it's just common sense. How did the chickens turn out? |

Now go **** yerself. TFM® No I'm not who you think, I've been here on and off for several years and the only off color comment I have ever made was about my own cooking.

I truly feel for the folks in Missippi, who got short notice and got destroyed. I have no simpathy for those that stayed in the areas where they were told to get out and chose to stay Funny part is I have old friend that move to new orleans about 3yrs ago and no one has heard from him since it hit ground. He is most likley one of the dumb asses that stayed. Hey If I offended any normal person by my comment, I'm sorry For those that don't agree with free speach(thats what usenet has always been about) or think they have the right to live that type of life. All I can do is shake my head and say" good luck" |

Don't mistaken the inability of the Iraqis to govern themselves as a failure of the US military. The joint was taken over swiftly and decidedly. Lawlessness of the populus is not a military issue, just a costly hinderance. It is via pansy liberal beliefs that our boys are still getting killed over there. The military is not a police force or pacifier yet that is the role being placed on them. You will never win a war if the requirement is to turn the conquered people into a bunch of petal throwing hippies. Likewise you can never fully prepare for a natural disaster, it just isn't reality.

That's one of them myths that's been floating through the demo-left blogs. The truth is quite different. While some of our reserve and guard units have been deployed overseas, the majority of Guard unit strength is still domestically deployed. However, it takes time to cut the orders, gather together the troops, and transport them. They are, after all, civilians being called to active duty when something like this occurs. The time frame for guard response is actually the same for disaster and civil disturbances now, as it was prior to Iraq. > There seems to be as much preparedness for this disaster as there was > preparedness for military victory in Iraq. Nothing like a natural disaster to leave politics aside and have everyone all pull together. I guess prior to Iraq, roads and rails would not have been torn apart by the hurricane, or covered by fllodwaters, making instantaneous delivery of supplies a given. Nor would there have been massive amounts of debris choking off shipping lanes and creating navigational hazards in the Gulf, so that the immediate docking of hospital and supply ships could have occured. Not to mention the fact that those same ships would have already been docked close by, so there would be no lag time for supply and sailing? Oh, and I guess that prior to Iraq, those ships would not have been damaged by the storm either, and the docking facilitities would have remained intact..... Yup, it's Iraq's fault all-right. > As do I. I will make my donations in support of this effort. The folks > in charge of Federal disaster relief are the same ones in charge of > Homeland Security.

"cl" > wrote in message ... "It is via pansy liberal beliefs that our boys are still getting killed over there." Those who hold "pansy liberal beliefs" would not have invaded Iraq in the first place. They probably would've invaded somewhere useful like the Saudis. They'd have a popular support there. "The military is not a police force or pacifier yet that is the role being placed on them." Yet it isn't the "pansy liberals" placing them in that role. "You will never win a war if the requirement is to turn the conquered people into a bunch of petal throwing hippies." What an ignorant statement. "Likewise you can never fully prepare for a natural disaster, it just isn't reality." No, but you can make sure your President isn't adventuring abroad with the nation's resources. In fact, you can make sure he can respond at home before he responds abroad. Basic preparedness like ensuring the soundness of the levees surrounding New Orleans shows how far your country has sunk under Republican rule. There was an awful lot of warning for thuis storm to have so much misery untended in the aftermath. > > > XOXO, > > -CAL |

I'll quote it again: "Issued by the Department of Homeland Security in January, the national response plan gives the agency [Homeland Security] the authority to synchronize all federal assistance, from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to the Health and Human Services Department and the Pentagon." See the last word in that sentence. If that is too hard: For the purposes of responding to an "incident of national significance," yes the Pentagon works for Homeland Security. Matthew -- "...

Yeaah, nothing like a bunch of guys taught to kill being expected to setup lemonade stands and build retaining walls. In regard to mismanagement of nation resources, we send it to other countries in the time of need. I don't see the world tossing money our way now that we have a natural disaster. > Basic preparedness like ensuring the soundness > of the levees surrounding New Orleans shows how far your country has sunk > under Republican rule. > There was an awful lot of warning for thuis storm to > have so much misery untended in the aftermath. Just like 'Fats' Domino, some people decided to stay in a city after full warning. Understand, this is a city below sea level and it has flooded before. The levee was built to withstand a Cat3 store and evac warnings were given well in advance. It is unfortunate that false alerts were given in the past so people decided to not leave thinking it would be the same as before. This has nothing to do with our President. It is the price one pays to live in an area that built on a poor foundation. BTW, New Orleans was the one sinking, not the country, literally. If you build on a sand bar, things aren't nice when the waves come it and the footing is placed on silt. |

Oh wait sombody has already done that. If you liberal pukes hate this country so much maybe you should just move to France. |

A Lib posted:
Fix your newsreader, bozo, so that it quotes correctly. You'll still be killfiled for being an ignorant ditto-head, but at least your newsreader will quote correctly. Maybe you should learn how to read/post on usenet. Should I top post? Hmm No. Maybe use outlook? Hmm No again. Oh Oh I know I should use Forte. Hmmm NOT. Just like a Lib. to think everything they do is correct and everybody else is wrong. Go ahead and put me on you KF. I've been on usenet much longer than you & your kind that have been spouting socialism and bio ethics . It's funny how these freaks want to KF others who don't agree with there sick ideas. I do have to say that this thing has gone way off topic. I apologize to the orig. poster since I allowed myself to be sucked into resonding to a liberal looser who should just leave our country. Did you ever make the chicks? |
