  people in Superdome stranded, no water to drink
  hospitals evacuating
  looters
  outbreak of disease only hours away, given water everywhere
  possibly bodies from graveyards joining the soup
  more than a million (?) people stranded

is there any possible reason not to order every last National Guard
from Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi back home from Iraq?  They've
been training for a long time, many of them, to deal with disaster
at home.

Someone tell me why they need to be in Iraq.

I think this is worse than 9/11, this is our tsunami.

I'm waiting to hear what our leaders have thought up, as
a way to start dealing with this.   It is really time for
creative leadership.
