This excerpt is from a statement from Senator Landrieu's office on September 3rd:
""I understand that the U.S. Forest Service had water-tanker aircraft available to help douse the fires raging on our riverfront, but FEMA has yet to accept the aid. When Amtrak offered trains to evacuate significant numbers of victims -- far more efficiently than buses -- FEMA again dragged its feet. Offers of medicine, communications equipment and other desperately needed items continue to flow in, only to be ignored by the agency."
Oh,.....you like the Amtrak train offer to Mayor Nagin to evacuate people, which he declined, and help being denied by YOUR State into the Supedome like this?
Man! I want some of what this chick is puffing on!
