→Facts vs. Judgements: A moderate trying to set an extremist straight |

Line 132:
With regard to your irrelevant remarks about the governor of mayor of New Orleans bringing "civil order," I would only ask why supplies could not have been airlifted. And I could care less that you believe yourself a "moderate". --[[User:Jentizzle|Jentizzle]] 20:14, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
:You've gotta be kidding. Have you read the [[Posse Comitatus Act]] article? The President can't move troops into a state without the Governor's request. Period. FEMA cannot deliver relief without civil order. Period. The first request was a formal request for a non-existant entity under law. Hence the request is invalid. It would be like my asking you for a one-eyed one eared flying purple people eater. I could make that request formal in a letter, but the request would be moot since there is no such thing. The only real request President Bush ever received from Blanco was delivered on September 2, 2005. As for "airlifting" supplies I refer you to news reports August 31, 2005 describing on looters shooting at helicopters attempting to land near the Superdome. -- Long John Silver [[User:209.247.222.81|209.247.222.81]] 20:24, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
