Tuesday New Orleans' mayor Ray Nagin formalized
HInsecurityA DCI Michael Chertoff's line. Now the 82nd
Airborne and 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force will be
going house to house evicting everyone from New
Orleans. Jeb Bush had no Everglades airboats for mercy
but surely he will rent airboats to taxpayers for Phoenix
Faluja?

Algiers didn't flood, ex-BlackPanther and current public
housing advocate Malik Rahim said Algiers could have
absorbed all of the stadium and convention center
flood refugees with the right coordination and support.

There were originally only three ways out for New Orleans
residents. Bush security assets blocked off Algiers and the
Crescent Connector, and Bush blocked off the airport by
holding back his USAF flight control package until he had
them roll out the red carpet for Air Force One so he could
be styled by TV as rescuing the crowd at the superdome
and convention center when he had in fact created
that crowd by blocking the airport and two other exits.

Bush only sent in the USAF flight control package after
civilian passenger airlines forced his hand by landing
at the airport. Nagin ought to have forced Bush to send
the USAF team Monday by bussing people from the
stadium and convention center to the airport.

As the media blackout of the airport all week, Bush's
with-holding the USAF airport opening team until the
civilian passenger airlines beat them to the airport
made them mere red carpet rollers for Air Force One,
the police blockading of Crescent Connector and of
Algiers, and of Malik Rahim's offer that would have
been an escape valve when Bush blocked the airport,
and finally, news that Jeb Bush never sent airboats
for house to house rescue but only later for evictions
by the military, all hits the airboat fan, FEMA will ace
Malik by flooding Algiers with evictees and then
burning Algiers like Waco and the oil-filled smokepots
Bushwhackers lit up for Bush's photo op in New Orleans
(probably the same team that lit a dozen oil fires for
the TV kickoff of the US invasion of Iraq).

Which Republican is going to run for mayor of New
Orleans to replace Ray Nagin like Enron's Arnie
Shriver Shortzaneuter replaced Gray after Enron
trashed PG&E like Bush created the stadium and
convention center crowd at New Orleans by blocking
the airport?

Will Pat Robertson decree a fatwa on Malik like he
did on Hugo Chavez? Maybe he already has. God
help us all.
