The Government Won't Let The Red Cross Into New Orleans

I don't believe it. I don't understand it. If anyone ANYONE could help the people in NOLA right now, it would be the Red Cross, but according to The Red Cross themselves, they aren't being allowed into New Orleans because, "Our presence would keep people from evacuating and encourage others to come into the city."

BULL.

This is political crap. It's a lie, and it's morally disgusting. Whoever gave that order, to keep the Red Cross from helping the starving people in New Orleans, deserves to be tried for crimes against humanity.

Too bad we don't have a president who is willing to cut through the red tape and let help go to where it needs to go. Too bad this country doesn't have a leader.

Update: It's worse, much much worse. The reason the National Guard took so long to mobilize had nothing to do with their readiness. It was because the "leadership" of FEMA/Homeland Security refused to let anyone in. Much more here and in the comments here. If you aren't angry, you aren't paying attention.
