[cia-drugs] Mexican army convoys bringing aid to U.S
http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/aplatin_story.asp?category=1102slug=Katrina%20Mexico LATIN AMERICA/CARIBBEAN Tuesday, September 6, 2005 · Last updated 9:26 p.m. PT Mexican army convoys bringing aid to U.S. By MARK STEVENSONASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER MEXICO CITY -- A Mexican army aid convoy set out for the U.S. border Tuesday, carrying water treatment plants, mobile kitchens and supplies to feed the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Large Mexican flags were taped to many of the 35 green-painted Mexican army trucks and tractor trailers as they rumbled northward, in what apparently will be the first Mexican military unit to operate on U.S. soil since 1846. The trucks, carrying 195 unarmed soldiers, officers and specialists, were expected to arrive in Laredo, Texas, sometime early Thursday, the president's office said. From there they are to proceed to Houston, where they will apparently be used to produce water and hot meals. The convoy included two mobile kitchens that can feed 7,000 people each per day, three flatbed trucks carrying mobile water treatment plants, and 15 trailers of bottled water, blankets and applesauce. It also includes military engineers, doctors and nurses. In 1846, Mexican troops briefly advanced just north of the Rio Grande in Texas, which had then recently joined the United States. Mexico, however, did not then recognize the Rio Grande as the U.S. border. The two countries quickly became mired in the Mexican-American War, which led to the loss of half of Mexico's territory in 1848. Mexico sent a squadron of pilots to train in the United States in the 1940s, but they served outside the United States - in the Philippines - in World War II. In 1916, the revolutionary leader Pancho Villa led a group of irregular fighters in a brief raid into Columbus, N.M., in what is considered the last battle against foreign forces on U.S. soil. Mexico was planning another 12-vehicle aid convoy to leave Tuesday or Wednesday and already has a Mexican navy ship steaming toward the Mississippi coast with rescue vehicles and helicopters. Foreign Secretary Luis Ernesto Derbez has said Mexico is setting up consular offices in trailers around the disaster zone to help some of the estimated 140,000 Mexicans who live in the region, 10,000 of them in New Orleans. In addition, help was offered by a search-and-rescue group called "topos" - which translates as "moles" - organized by youths who dug through collapsed buildings after Mexico City's 1985 earthquake.

[cia-drugs] Navy Pilots Who Rescued Victims Are Reprimanded
http://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/07/national/nationalspecial/07navy.html?pagewanted=all September 7, 2005 Navy Pilots Who Rescued Victims Are Reprimanded By DAVID S. CLOUD PENSACOLA, Fla., Sept. 6 - Two Navy helicopter pilots and their crews returned from New Orleans on Aug. 30 expecting to be greeted as lifesavers after ferrying more than 100 hurricane victims to safety. Instead, their superiors chided the pilots, Lt. David Shand and Lt. Matt Udkow, at a meeting the next morning for rescuing civilians when their assignment that day had been to deliver food and water to military installations along the Gulf Coast. "I felt it was a great day because we resupplied the people we needed to and we rescued people, too," Lieutenant Udkow said. But the air operations commander at Pensacola Naval Air Station "reminded us that the logistical mission needed to be our area of focus." The episode illustrates how the rescue effort in the days immediately after Hurricane Katrina had to compete with the military's other, more mundane logistical needs. Only in recent days, after the federal response to the disaster has come to be seen as inadequate, have large numbers of troops and dozens of helicopters, trucks and other equipment been poured into to the effort. Early on, the military rescue operations were smaller, often depending on the initiative of individuals like Lieutenants Shand and Udkow. The two lieutenants were each piloting a Navy H-3 helicopter - a type often used in rescue operations as well as transport and other missions - on that Tuesday afternoon, delivering emergency food, water and other supplies to Stennis Space Center, a federal facility near the Mississippi coast. The storm had cut off electricity and water to the center, and the two helicopters were supposed to drop their loads and return to Pensacola, their home base, said Cmdr. Michael Holdener, Pensacola's air operations chief. "Their orders were to go and deliver water and parts and to come back," Commander Holdener said. But as the two helicopters were heading back home, the crews picked up a radio transmission from the Coast Guard saying helicopters were needed near the University of New Orleans to help with rescue efforts, the two pilots said. Out of range for direct radio communication with Pensacola, more than 100 miles to the east, the pilots said, they decided to respond and turned their helicopters around, diverting from their mission without getting permission from their home base. Within minutes, they were over New Orleans. "We're not technically a search-and-rescue unit, but we're trained to do search and rescue," said Lieutenant Shand, a 17-year Navy veteran. Flying over Biloxi and Gulfport and other areas of Mississippi, they could see rescue personnel on the ground, Lieutenant Udkow said, but he noticed that there were few rescue units around the flooded city of New Orleans, on the ground or in the air. "It was shocking," he said. Seeing people on the roofs of houses waving to him, Lieutenant Udkow headed in their direction. Hovering over power lines, his crew dropped a basket to pick up two residents at a time. He took them to Lakefront Airport, where local emergency medical teams had established a makeshift medical center. Meanwhile, Lieutenant Shand landed his helicopter on the roof of an apartment building, where more than a dozen people were marooned. Women and children were loaded first aboard the helicopter and ferried to the airport, he said. Returning to pick up the rest, the crew learned that two blind residents had not been able to climb up through the attic to the roof and were still in the building. Two crew members entered the darkened building to find the men, and led them to the roof and into the helicopter, Lieutenant Shand said. Recalling the rescues in an interview, he became so emotional that he had to stop and compose himself. At one point, he said, he executed a tricky landing at a highway overpass, where more than 35 people were marooned. Lieutenant Udkow said that he saw few other rescue helicopters in New Orleans that day. The toughest part, he said, was seeing so many people imploring him to pick them up and having to leave some. "I would be looking at a family of two on one roof and maybe a family of six on another roof, and I would have to make a decision who to rescue," he said. "It wasn't easy." While refueling at a Coast Guard landing pad in early evening, Lieutenant Udkow said, he called Pensacola and received permission to continue rescues that evening. According to the pilots and other military officials, they rescued 110 people. The next morning, though, the two crews were called to a meeting with Commander Holdener, who said he told them that while helping civilians was laudable, the lengthy rescue effort was an unacceptable diversion from their main mission of delivering supplies. With only two helicopters available at Pensacola to

TONE DEAF: IT'S CONTAGIOUS Link: Editor Publisher In case you were concerned that tone-deaf statements weren't a family tradition for the Bush's of Kennebunkport. Let them eat cake, indeed. Accompanying her husband, former President George H.W.Bush, on a tour of hurricane relief centers in Houston, Barbara Bush said today, referring to the poor who had lost everything back home and evacuated, "This is working very well for them."

Among the heavy hitters: Madeleine Albright, Jim Fallows, Lee Hamilton, Chuck Hagel, Warren Rudman and retired General Wesley Clark. = HEADS SHOULD ROLL Link: Transcript for September 4 - Meet the Press Scroll past all the bullshit condolences for Chief Justice Rehnquist and the speculation about nominee John Roberts and the defensive babble of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff and you'll find an impassioned call from the President of Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, which was completely flooded last week, for some heads to roll now: MR. BROUSSARD: Sir, they were told like me, every single day, "The cavalry's coming," on a federal level, "The cavalry's coming, the cavalry's coming, the cavalry's coming." I have just begun to hear the hoofs of the cavalry. The cavalry's still not here yet, but I've begun to hear the hoofs, and we're almost a week out. Let me give you just three quick examples. We had Wal-Mart deliver three trucks of water, trailer trucks of water. FEMA turned them back. They said we didn't need them. This was a week ago. FEMA--we had 1,000 gallons of diesel fuel on a Coast Guard vessel docked in my parish. The Coast Guard said, "Come get the fuel right away." When we got there with our trucks, they got a word. "FEMA says don't give you the fuel." Yesterday--yesterday--FEMA comes in and cuts all of our emergency communication lines. They cut them without notice. Our sheriff, Harry Lee, goes back in, he reconnects the line. He posts armed guards on our line and says, "No one is getting near these lines." Sheriff Harry Lee said that if America--American government would have responded like Wal-Mart has responded, we wouldn't be in this crisis. But I want to thank Governor Blanco for all she's done and all her leadership. She sent in the National Guard. I just repaired a breach on my side of the 17th Street canal that the secretary didn't foresee, a 300-foot breach. I just completed it yesterday with convoys of National Guard and local parish workers and levee board people. It took us two and a half days working 24/7. I just closed it. MR. RUSSERT: All right. MR. BROUSSARD: I'm telling you most importantly I want to thank my public employees... MR. RUSSERT: All right. MR. BROUSSARD: ...that have worked 24/7. They're burned out, the doctors, the nurses. And I want to give you one last story and I'll shut up and let you tell me whatever you want to tell me. The guy who runs this building I'm in, emergency management, he's responsible for everything. His mother was trapped in St. Bernard nursing home and every day she called him and said, "Are you coming, son? Is somebody coming?" And he said, "Yeah, Mama, somebody's coming to get you. Somebody's coming to get you on Tuesday. Somebody's coming to get you on Wednesday. Somebody's coming to get you on Thursday. Somebody's coming to get you on Friday." And she drowned Friday night. She drowned Friday night. MR. RUSSERT: Mr. President... MR. BROUSSARD: Nobody's coming to get us. Nobody's coming to get us. The secretary has promised. Everybody's promised. They've had press conferences. I'm sick of the press conferences. For God sakes, shut up and send us somebody. A LITANY OF QUESTIONS Link: The Washington Post I saw Post reporter Terry M. Neal several times this weekend on TV, and he continues to ask the questions that few people have been willing to answer this past week. While the urgent crisis in New Orleans is beginning to subside, the reality is that the recovery efforts along the entire Gulf Coast will take years; the hard work has barely even begun.

Begin forwarded message:From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Date: September 6, 2005 10:33:44 PM PDTTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: "Breaking News" Apparently, the "Voice of America" (or "American Pravda"?) news item below seriously understates the tone of a two-hour discussion in closed chamber meetings between the Cabinet and members of Congress. Tonight on CNN, on Aaron Brown's "Newsnight," a reporter who had sources inside described the meeting as "very contentious," with elected officials (Republicans as well as Democrats) pressing for an immediate investigation of the Administration's handling of the Katrina crisis, calling for the dismantling of FEMA and a full accounting of Homeland Security's actions during the hurricane crisis. Most telling of all, however, was one telling event described by the reporter: Before he learned that hearings were already being organized (spearheaded by a fellow Republican, unless I'm mistaken), majority leader Tom DeLay told CNN reporters that NO HEARINGS WILL BE HELD --he vowed TO PERSONALLY PREVENT ANY INVESTIGATION, NOW OR LATER, of the Bush Administration's "alleged" mishandling of the Katrina crisis -- which, by the way, resulted in the most horrific "collateral damage" on the home front -- the unnecessary and in all probability avoidable death of thousands of Americans in Louisiana -- even more than have died, thanks to The (same) Powers That Be, in 9/11 or in Iraq ... The reported intensity of DeLay's antagonism toward any investigation whatsoever, whether Congressional or independent, that might run the risk of revealing incompetence (or worse) within the Republicans' "fortress" in Washington --reminiscent of the Bush Administration's opposition to, and continued obstruction of, any investigation that might reveal the FACTS of the events leading up to 9/11-- was all too revealing ... of MANY things ... Alongside the video of a clueless, lip-biting Dubya sitting in the classroom for SEVEN MINUTES after he was informed of a major "terrorist attack on American soil," we need to start playing --in our minds-- an endless loop of Tom DeLay's diatribe, reeking of Republican hubris, and do everything in OUR power to GUARANTEE THE INVESTIGATION 'THEY' FEAR ... US Political Debate Heats Up Over Response to Hurricane Katrina By Dan Robinson Washington06 September 2005http://www.voanews.com/english/2005-09-06-voa59.cfm Republicans and Democrats say providing relief to victims of hurricane Katrina must be the top priority in coming days and weeks as Congress gets back to work in Washington, D.C. But while there is much bipartisan agreement on the need for an investigation into the federal government response, Democrats are focusing criticism on President Bush who they say must assume much of the responsibility. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay says he does not think a special commission is needed to examine what went wrong with rescue and relief operations, modeled on the panel that investigated failures before the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Senate Democratic Minority Leader Harry Reid disagrees. "We are going to have an independent commission to study what went wrong. People may not do it today or think it's a good idea today, but mark my word. It IS going to happen," he said. Senator Reid and Congressman DeLay were among congressional leaders meeting with President Bush Tuesday. But Mr. DeLay was adamant Republicans will not allow any of their key policy priorities to fall victim to what they see as attempts by opposition Democrats to use the hurricane response controversy to weaken President Bush. That means no price controls to deal with rising gasoline prices, no reduction in gas taxes, no taxes aimed at oil companies that might be benefiting from high prices, and no rollback of income tax cuts approved by the Republican-controlled Congress. Democrats for their part say everything should be on the table, including Bush administration tax cuts they say have hurt poor and middle class Americans. House Democrats take broad aim at what say have been Republican and administration policies that created the conditions for failure. "When you saw the stories about the poor people in New Orleans being left behind, we could see them being left behind because they were in the water, they were very visible," he said. "But we have a federal budget policy which is leaving behind the poor and the middle class all across the board," said Wisconsin Congressman David Obey. House Democratic Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi says the president must assume most of the responsibility for the slow initial government response. "The buck (blame) stops at the president's desk. The president said he is going to lead the investigation into what went wrong. For starters, he need only look in the mirror. HE appointed a person to head FEMA who had absolutely no credentials to head a

He served as Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Regan administration. Roberts followed up his commentary Impeach Bush Now, Before More Die with an interview on The Alex Jones show on Monday 5th September 2005. The former Assistant Secretary had noted of the New Orleans disaster "If terrorists had achieved this result, it would rank as the greatest terrorist success in history." and went on to spell out how the disaster was left to happen. He succeeded these comments on Monday by laying out the facts again and asserting that the Federal government has been criminally negligent and should be held up to accountability. Click here to listen to the full interview Mr Roberts believed that such comments would bring him much criticism from so called Patriots (the flag waving kind), yet he was surprised at the amount of people who agreed and even informed him that it was far worse then what he'd gone on record with. Roberts reviewed the way in which the federal government had slashed funding for flood prevention schemes and pumped everything into the war in Iraq and the war on Terror. He also went on to admit that the military was turning on the people, treating them as subjects, overturning the Posse Comitatus Act. Roberts agreed that FEMA has deliberately withheld aid, and cut emergency communication lines, and automatically made the crisis look worse in order to empower the image of a police state emerging to "save the day". He even insinuated that the shoot to kill policy was part of the overall operation in order get an awful precedence set to aid the military industrial complex takeover of America. "The power of the Federal Government is now greater than at any time, it'll never go back and the Posse Comitatus Act has been eroding ever since it was passed in 1878..." Roberts asserted. Roberts further commented "There is no excuse for this, we have never had in our history the federal government take a week to respond to a disaster...this is the first time ever that the help was not mobilized in advance. The proper procedure is that everything is mobilized and ready to go" Mr Roberts commented that the American people are being "brainwashed" and no longer believe what the founding fathers said over and over, that your worst enemy is always your own government and never confuse Patriotism with support for the government. He asserted that the mentality is "like that of the brown shirts that followed Hitler" and that the government is deadly dangerous, "you can't let the military take over policing".On the question of where this is all leading and what the government is gearing up for, Mr Roberts suggested that "It does look like there is a push coming from inside the bowels of the police authorities and it seems to be independent of whoever the President is or who or whatever party is in office. It just gets worse and it's hard to say that it's Bush doing it, he may not even know what's going on... it's enough for us to say that New Orleans demonstrated massive federal incompetence, if it were laid on private people would be tantamount to criminal negligence... some kind of accountability has to be exercised" The private corporations own and run everything and are turning America into a third world police state, when questioned as to how we can stop this Mr Roberts stated: "The longer it goes on it will be harder and harder to stop...It depends on how much resistance or what kind of resistance they meet, but I think one thing we can do is demand accountability for this failure, do not buy the Karl Rove lie that this was a failure of State and Local Government" Roberts urged listeners to look at the Patriot Act, which suspends Habeas Corpus, where they can now suspend you indefinitely, a massive erosion of civil liberties. He was quick to point out though that we should not assign the government omnipotence, we can make people aware of the situation and try to explain illogical actions that have no reasonable explanation. Roberts read out an email from an emergency management official who said that the feds are involved in everything they do, everything has to be approved by the feds. FEMA sets the table, Mr Roberts suggested, every major agency in New Orleans has been federalized, the State and Local officials have no authority.

This represents a ruthless attempt on the part of FEMA to impose a federal takeover of the area for their own benefit amid a tragedy that has already claimed anything up to 10,000 lives. The mainstream media has picked up on this story but is whitewashing it as just another 'failure' of the federal government in dealing with the crisis.

Jefferson Parish President Aaron Broussardappeared on Meet the Press Sunday and broke down in tears as he described FEMA's criminal activities. "We have been abandoned by our own country. Hurricane Katrina will go down in history as one of the worst storms ever to hit an American coast, but the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina will go down as one of the worst abandonments of Americans on American soil ever in U.S. history." We had Wal-Mart deliver three trucks of water, trailer trucks of water. FEMA turned them back. They said we didn't need them. This was a week ago. FEMA--we had 1,000 gallons of diesel fuel on a Coast Guard vessel docked in my parish. The Coast Guard said, "Come get the fuel right away." When we got there with our trucks, they got a word. "FEMA says don't give you the fuel." Yesterday--yesterday--FEMA comes in and cuts all of our emergency communication lines. They cut them without notice. Our sheriff, Harry Lee, goes back in, he reconnects the line. He posts armed guards on our line and says, "No one is getting near these lines." Why would FEMA, an organization supposedly tasked with helping in a time of crisis, deliberately cut police communication lines? This is a blatant example of sabotage and a sick push to make the disaster worse. In carrying out these actions, FEMA are no better than the animals who shot at rescue workers and helicopters. Watch the video of the Meet the Press interview. The mission of FEMA has never in reality been to bring people food and water and help in times of crisis. Alex Jones has attended numerous FEMA drills where the whole point of the exercise is to round people up, break up families and institute a brutal police state crackdown. FEMA need to create a chaotic atmosphere in New Orleans so they can legitimize what they are doing. We now have multiple reports of police being ordered to guard key infrastructures in order to defend them from FEMA federal agents. Sheriffs in numerous different counties are guarding highways to keep FEMA out. FEMA is being treated as the enemy because they are sabotaging key facilities in an effort to intentionally worsen the already desperate scenes of horror in New Orleans. FEMA is sabotaging lines of communication so their activities cannot be exposed to the wider relief authorities and the media. Commenting on the sabotage by FEMA of communication lines, Washington insider Wayne Madsen states, "Jamming radio and other communications such as television signals is part of a Pentagon tactic called "information blockade" or "technology blockade." The tactic is one of a number of such operations that are part of the doctrine of "information warfare" and is one of the psychological operations (PSYOPS) methods used by the US Special Operations Command." Radio host Carol Baker who has been tracking the FEMA sabotage stated that Plaquemines Parish Sheriff Jeff Hingle had his deputies patrol the county line under orders not to let FEMA in. As is discussed in the Meet the Press interview, Jefferson Parish Sheriff Harry Lee also has armed guards patrolling the county line in order to prevent the FEMA sabotage. FEMA has a number of executive orders that outline the total federal takeover of any US city. For a full synopsis of FEMA's executive orders in light of the hurricane, click here. FEMA is clearly using this human catastrophe as a means of executing its decade long plans and providing the pretext for future takeover scenarios of all major American cities. Amongst a litany of government inaction and outright dereliction, this is the most alarming evidence to emerge yet that clearly indicates an agenda for the federal government to profit and expand its power from exploiting the aftermath of the hurricane.

[cia-drugs] “Staff Of ‘Moses’ Katrina And The Rule Of The Pharaohs”
Dear Friends, Peace and Love, Thousands of years ago there was ONE most powerful country in the world, which was ruled by a dynasty of despots known as the Pharaohs. One fine day their savage rule came to an end engineered by a simple man, a shepherd with nothing in his hand but a piece of wood. That scenario has been projected to our century with the evolution of ONE most powerful nation in the world â the United Sates of America - ruled by the most savage dynasty of the world â the Bushs. The savagery transferred from father to son, in the same way as Pharaohs did centuries ago. All sins must be atoned and redeemed, all crimes must be punished and recompensed, all savagery expiated. This most vicious despot, brutally massacring our humanity, is in trouble today as was the despot thousands of years ago. Are we seeing the end of the Pharaohnic (or precisely, Bushionic) tyranny in the world unleashed by the US and its virulent vermin President? Is Hurricane Katrina going to be the female versio of the Moses of long time ago? One thing is clear â âMosesâ Katrina will have a devastating effect on the economy of US. The nation used to sensual comfort, obscene materialism and all this come cheap at rock bottom cost, will not be able to bear the sudden loss of their bodily, fleshly, temporal comfort and pleasures. The Humpty Dumpty is soon going to have a great fall â the fath ugly nation of false pride and treachery will soon come tumbling down - and the Kingâs men will not be able to put the pieces together!! So, what are the signs of the fall of Humpty Dumpty? To start with the US is going to experience a slow GDP growth by 0.5 per cent. Reuters report that the costlier fuel prices and damage to businesses following Hurricane Katrina could slow U.S. economic growth by around a half-percentage point over the rest of the year, Treasury Secretary John Snow said on Tuesday. The US federal government could spend as much as $200 billion caring for the victims of Hurricane Katrina and rebuilding from its devastation. Is this the beginning of an end?The economic effects of Hurricane Katrina, like the human costs, are hard to predict. But the disaster is already putting upward pressure on oil prices at a time of strong demand, tight supply and refining bottlenecks. These are not the only effects that will reach beyond the flooded streets in time and space. Economists are already hard at work, rewriting their forecasts to account for the toll that Katrina may yet take on the nationâs economy. The affected areaâs ports move a large fraction of Americaâs importsâincluding critical oil and gas suppliesâas well as roughly half its grain exports. Action Economics, a market-analysis firm, has already nudged its forecast for GDP growth down to 4.4% from 4.6%, at an annualised rate, for the current (third) quarter. The Gulf of Mexico provides about a tenth of all the crude oil consumed in America; and almost half of the petrol produced in the country comes from refineries in the states along the Gulf's shores. A greater percantage of the region's natural gas production, and almost 80% of oil output, is still shut down. The Department of Energy reported last Thursday that ten refineries, processing 1.9m barrels per day, were out of action. This is bad news considering that refineries had been running flat out in recent months to keep up with high demand. $70 oil and petrol futures at double the level of a year ago raise the possibility of lingering economic effects, particularly if the regionâs oil infrastructure takes months to get back online. With consumers stretched thin and interest rates rising, a prolonged period of high petrol prices might well force households to retrench, because the pleasure-seeking Americans cannot live without cars. Experts had calculated that every one-cent rise in the price of a gallon of petrol takes $1.3 billion out of consumersâ pockets, which could trim as much as a full percentage point off consumer spending this winter. Speculation is growing that the Federal Reserve will halt its steady tightening of the money supply at its next meeting, on September 20th. Already there are calls for policy changes to fix the flaws in Americaâs energy infrastructure exposed by âMosesâ Katrina: its tight refining capacity, its dependence on offshore drilling in the hurricane-prone Gulf, its love affair with big, inefficient cars. The Senate committee on energy held a hearing on Tuesday to explore some of these issues. But oil and gas are not the only industries to be affected. While construction companies and their suppliers are no doubt gearing up for a bumper season when the waters recede, agricultural exporters are busy looking for alternative shipping routes if Gulf ports do not re-open soon. Particularly hard-hit will be the corn harvest, which started last week,

Title: DefenseLINK News: News Articles Out of the frying pan. JR - Original Message - From: Press Service To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 07, 2005 2:48 PM Subject: Deployed Louisiana Guardsmen Ready to Support Katrina Deployed Louisiana Guardsmen Ready to Support KatrinaAmerican Forces Press Service WASHINGTON, Sept. 7, 2005 Members of the Louisiana National Guard's 256th Brigade Combat Team are preparing to turn their attention to hurricane-relief operations when they return from their deployment in Iraq, their commander said. The vast majority of the brigade's soldiers are anxious and ready to help the citizens affected by Hurricane Katrina, Army Brig. Gen. John Basilica Jr. said in Baghdad, Iraq. "The people of Louisiana have been worrying about us these past 12 months. Now we are worried about them," he said. "Many soldiers, but not all, will have the opportunity to continue to serve their country while on active duty and assisting with Joint Task Force Hurricane Katrina," Basilica said. Efforts are under way to speed up the troops' return to Louisiana, he said. The brigade is days away from completing its mission in the Baghdad area and will be available to return as quickly as transportation becomes available. Meanwhile, U. S. Central Command Air Forces officials announced Sept. 3 that more than 300 active-duty and reserve airmen assigned to Keesler Air Force Base, Miss. , will cut their deployments to the region short in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The airmen will return from their deployments so they can attend to their families' needs and help the heavily damaged base recovery from the hurricane, officials said Sept. 3. In addition, nearly 100 airmen scheduled to deploy to Southwest Asia from Keesler will remain behind to recover from the storm, according to a news release. Other airmen from bases not affected by the disaster will assume their positions in support of the war on terror, officials announced. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld emphasized during a Sept. 6 Pentagon news conference that the U. S. military is fully capable of continuing to fight the war on terror while responding to Hurricane Katrina relief operations. "On that point, let me be clear," the secretary said. "We have the forces, the capabilities and the intention to fully prosecute the global war on terror while responding to this unprecedented humanitarian crisis here at home. We can and will do both. " Those who think otherwise need to remember that "more than 300,000 National Guard soldiers and airmen who are not deployed overseas . . . are available for relief and security efforts in the United States, should they be necessary," Rumsfeld said. "Whoever's raising that question about the fact that because we are involved in Iraq or Afghanistan or doing whatever else we're doing, that we don't have the capability (to support Hurricane Katrina), . . . just doesn't really understand the situation," Rumsfeld reiterated during a Sept. 6 interview on Fox News Channel.

[cia-drugs] Fw: Sealift Command Charters Cruise Ships to House Evacuees
Title: DefenseLINK News: News Articles - Original Message - From: Press Service To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 07, 2005 3:10 PM Subject: Sealift Command Charters Cruise Ships to House Evacuees Sealift Command Charters Cruise Ships to House EvacueesAmerican Forces Press Service WASHINGTON, Sept. 7, 2005 Along with thousands of active-duty and National Guard troops, several commercial passenger ships are also reporting to duty to support hurricane-relief efforts along the Gulf Coast, U. S. Northern Command officials announced. The ships, contracted by the Navy's Military Sealift Command, are part of the Federal Emergency Management Agency's massive response to provide relief for displaced victims, officials said. The command awarded contracts for four ships to provide interim housing to those displaced by the hurricane and possibly relief workers, as well. Three of the ships, Sensation, Holiday and Ecstasy, belong to Carnival Cruise Lines and the fourth, MV Scotia Prince, to Scotia Prince Cruises, officials said. FEMA Director Michael D. Brown called the cruise ship option just one of many efforts under way to provide housing for those forced to flee the Gulf region in Katrina's wake. "FEMA is handling the Herculean task of coordinating the relocation of many thousands of individuals and families whose lives have been torn apart by Hurricane Katrina," Brown said. "Every available alternative, including creative options for immediate housing, is on the table. " The four cruise ships were immediately removed from commercial service in response to FEMA's request for temporary housing, and Military Sealift Command chartered the ships for six months, beginning no later than Sept. 10. Beginning today, FEMA-contracted buses are transporting hundreds of hurricane victims from Houston's Astrodome to temporary quarters on board Sensation and Ecstasy in the port of Galveston, Texas, where the ships are currently moored. The Holiday, in Mobile, Ala. , and the MV Scotia Prince, which will moor at another Gulf Coast port, will also serve as mobile platforms for interim housing, officials said. The Sensation and Ecstasy each accommodate 2,634 passengers; the Holiday carries 1,848; and the MV Scotia Prince, 1,000. (From a U. S.

[cia-drugs] FEMA Chief Sent Help Only After Storm Hit
http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/national/AP-Katrina-Disaster-Response.html?pagewanted=print September 7, 2005 FEMA Chief Sent Help Only After Storm Hit By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Filed at 11:58 a.m. ET WASHINGTON (AP) -- The top U.S. disaster official waited hours after Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast before he proposed to his boss sending at least 1,000 Homeland Security workers into the region to support rescuers, internal documents show. Part of the mission, according to the documents obtained by The Associated Press, was to ''convey a positive image'' about the government's response for victims. Acknowledging that such a move would take two days, Michael Brown, director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, sought the approval from Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff roughly five hours after Katrina made landfall on Aug. 29. Before then, FEMA had positioned smaller rescue and communications teams across the Gulf Coast. But officials acknowledged the first department-wide appeal for help came only as the storm raged. Brown's memo to Chertoff described Katrina as ''this near catastrophic event'' but otherwise lacked any urgent language. The memo politely ended, ''Thank you for your consideration in helping us to meet our responsibilities.'' The initial responses of the government and Brown came under escalating criticism as the breadth of destruction and death grew. President Bush and Congress on Tuesday pledged separate investigations into the federal response to Katrina. ''Governments at all levels failed,'' said Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine. Aid from Canada -- three warships and a coast guard ship -- departed for the Gulf Coast on Thursday, more than one week after Canada first offered to send military support. Ottawa has been careful not to criticize the slow U.S. response and simply repeated their willingness to help when Washington finally accepted its offer of assistance. Several Sea King helicopters and about 1,000 personnel were aboard the Canadian ships, which will take several days to arrive off Louisiana. The ships were loaded with medical supplies, 1,200 cots, body bags, assault boats, lumber, pollution cleanup equipment -- even diapers, baby wipes and teddy bears. Navy divers were also dispatched to New Orleans from Halifax and British Columbia to inspect damaged levees and help U.S. officials clear navigational hazards. In the U.S., Homeland Security spokesman Russ Knocke said Brown had positioned front-line rescue teams and Coast Guard helicopters before the storm. Brown's memo on Aug. 29 aimed to assemble the necessary federal work force to support the rescues, establish communications, and coordinate with victims and community groups, Knocke said. Instead of rescuing people or recovering bodies, these employees would focus on helping victims find the help they needed, he said. ''There will be plenty of time to assess what worked and what didn't work,'' Knocke said. ''Clearly there will be time for blame to be assigned and to learn from some of the successful efforts.'' Brown's memo told employees that among their duties, they would be expected to ''convey a positive image of disaster operations to government officials, community organizations and the general public.'' ''FEMA response and recovery operations are a top priority of the department and as we know, one of yours,'' Brown wrote Chertoff. He proposed sending 1,000 Homeland Security Department employees within 48 hours and 2,000 within seven days. Knocke said the 48-hour period indicated for the Homeland employees was to ensure they had adequate training. ''They were training to help the lifesavers,'' Knocke said. Employees required a supervisor's approval and at least 24 hours of disaster training in Maryland, Florida or Georgia. ''You must be physically able to work in a disaster area without refrigeration for medications and have the ability to work in the outdoors all day,'' Brown wrote. The same day Brown wrote Chertoff, Brown also urged local fire and rescue departments outside Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi not to send trucks or emergency workers into disaster areas without an explicit request for help from state or local governments. Brown said it was vital to coordinate fire and rescue efforts. Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., said Tuesday that Brown should resign. -- On the Net: Federal Emergency Management Agency: http://www.fema.gov Homeland Security Department: http://www.dhs.gov The memo from FEMA Director Mike Brown to Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff is available at: http://wid.ap.org/documents/dhskatrina.pdf Copyright 2005 The Associated Press Complete archives at http://www.sitbot.net/ Please let us stay on topic and be civil.

Re: [cia-drugs] Re: FEMA Chief Sent Help Only After Storm Hit
September 8 and still no Jeb Bush Everglades airboats. Unless two civilian airlines had landed on Wednesday August 27 and started air evacuating the superdome and convention center without Bush or FEMA, Bush would not have sent the USAF flight controller team in next day to avert his political suicide by exposure of his malfeasance in not sending USAF to open the airport on Monday and prevent a backlog of people from accumulating at the stadium and convention center for a photo op and worse--HSA and FEMA tried to prevent Red Cross from coming. A third airline arrived on Thursday. Jeb Bush's Everglades airboats never arrived. The three civilian airlines beginning to evacuate the superdome and convention center, beginning three days after USAF ought to have opened the airport and sent military transports to prevent the superdome and convention center from filling up, interrupted the master plan. In the beginning the HSA and FEMA told Red Cross not to come! If the Red Cross had not come and three civilian airlines had not begun to evacuate the superdome and convention center without Bush, forcing Bush to send USAF flight controllers and military transport, then we would have seen more than the two smoky fires lit by covert teams for a photo op. There would have been more fires to augment the "looting" propaganda, more suffering at the artificially crowded stadium and convention center, and immediate forced eviction by 82nd Airborne and 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force. Mercifully the three civilian airlines broke the back of the master plan. -Bob E Bryant Holman wrote: The declared themselve in charge on Aug 27!
