Chertoff is crowing that they'll have quadruple the N.O.'s police force (in the form of national guard) on the ground there in the next few days. Since N.O.'s is largely empty that would mean, what, maybe a 1:20 security:citizen ratio?

Hey, it's the Powell doctrine of overwhelming force.

Gee.

I certainly hope they don't just bring guns and bullets but water and, you know, food and maybe some blooming evacuation orders. There was the vision of the media guys having to flag down a National Guard truck (mostly empty) to evacuate some people yesterday. No media, no evacuation.

Zounds. If you're from the Gulf Coast and sitting in Iraq today....do you still support the Bush administration?
