Nobody will have the guts for impeachments. It ain't happening. The Republicans will start to distance themselves from the White House, though, if they want to win next year's mid-term elections...

Of the President or of the officals at the state level? 

If you're talking about the President being impeached, it'll never happen.  Mainly because the President didn't commit any crimes.  From what I've read and seen, but only thing he's done wrong is not overrulling the governor of Louisiana when she refused his assistance.  I think at most you can chalk this up to hindsight being 20/20.  Should he have sent in the troops earlier?  In my opinion he should have, but we have the luxury of knowning what happened when he didn't.

Since when has that mattered. Andrew Johnson was impreached for a crime he committed prior to a law being passed against it. Clinton was impeached for what may have been the least detrimental act of perjury ever. Call Bush a war criminal and you're in.

The real reason he'll never be impeached is because his party controls both the house and senate.

I thought her explanations for shooting at the helicopters was interesting.  I hadn't thought of that as a possibility before.

For those of you who didn't watch the video, she basically says that the people that she was with weren't shooting at the helicopters, but rather shooting in the air to get their attention because the didn't think the people in the helicopters had seen them. 

I doubt that was the case every time, but it at least explains some of the behaviour we've seen out of NO...

I'm not sure how many of us can rightly imagine how we'd act when faced with those circumstances.

I see nobody is responding to this, an actual, true account of how these people were left to die intentionally.

But I guess they also chose to stay there and die, huh?

Negligence, ignorance, stupidity, complacency, unpreparedness, panic, absolutely. Intentional...I don't think so.
Call ME ignorant if you like, but I refuse to believe that there was some sort of conspiracy at work here to allow thousands of innocent people to starve to death or worse, suffer the unspeakable stories of horror that are coming out of NO.

I don't think the thousands of people, maybe millions, who are at this very moment opening up thier wallets, hearts, veigns and homes for these people would agree with you. Given an opportunity to do something sooner, those who are helping now, would have been there the very first night. Those people I speak of are the citizens of the United States and the world.
