In the midst of Bush and his Surge , there is actually other things going on in the World. In the " Mistakes Have Been Made " Category from Helluva Job Land, Anderson Cooper has gone back to NOLA to investigate how well the Progress is NOT going on so many fronts, from Clean Up and Rebuilding and Crime and of course Corruption. We salute Anderson and his efforts to not let NOLA be forgotten like the contaminated slimepit that it is. This is a City that is really Hurting and Struggling, and the murder rates and the PTSD and suicide rates are through the roof, yet it is mostly ignored by the Media. So head over to the Blogroll and read Anderson's Blog- it is full of Wonders.
*** I have One Thing to say: IF THE TROOPS WERE NOT OVER IN IRAQ....They could have been Here AT HOME working helping rebuild and clean up and yes, Protect NOLA these past 500 days. That is what the National Guard was set up for, to take care of Our Nation At Home.***

Ahhhh, but that's the rub. Why do we need soldiers here?
What an idiot, and two more years is Two too many ; (
NOLA, now that would be noble.
That Anderson is so smart, I want to bear all his children.
E4E, if we were not in Iraq, there is $380,000,000,000 that could have gone toward rebuilding NOLA; treating the victims; setting up housing. The National Guard's main purpose is to protect and serve at home, not to go off and fight foreign illegal wars.
so - very - true
they would be here and NOLA would have already been fixed...thanks for the update and great link!!
On TV last night, I watched a documentary on the great tornado outbreak in 1974. The contrast was stark regarding the cleanup. Nixon (Yes, I said Nixon) ordered the Army and Air Force personnel in for cleanup and they did a pretty good job. Way better than Katrina. Interesting that Nixon did a better job than Bush.
