Re: Looting after Katrina

After Andrew and even after the National Guard came in things were so

Thanks to Iraq, there is no Army to come in and help and this disaster is
far more widespread than Andrew, and affecting many more people!

Thanks Mr. President! (I'm saving Susan from commenting, and trying to be a
little polite--see I didn't even call him names!)
