Today we have now 41,000 troops in the Battle Zone in the Gulf Coast, this is the biggest response ever to a natural disaster in our history and we will see Hurricane Katrina in the end cost us about $155 Billion including rebuilding of the 350-mile New Orleans Levee systems. We have deployed an intensive team of support for the victims and devastated areas in Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi Gulf Coast. In addition to this thanks to the leadership of Dr. Condoleezza Rice we have received one billion dollars from foreign countries to help in this crisis.
Now then, lets plan for the worst and expect the best. What if another crisis? What about California Earthquake swarms? What about 9-11 Repeat attack the New York City Attack anniversary is now upon us and NYC sending in police and fire personnel to the Gulf? We must keep our eyes on the ball, 41,000 troops is a lot of folks that is a major deployment. We cannot leave the impression that we are wide open or not watching things. National Guard Reserves on the scene and can easily be moved at a moments notice, which is good but lets be smart about this. Let’s keep our eye on the ball and be ready for anything. Never allow adversity to trump intelligent decision-making. We must protect the American People, by paying attention. Think on this.
