There was a striking dicrepancy between the CNN International report

on the Bush

visit to the New Orleans disaster zone, yesterday, and reports of

the same event

by German TV.

 

ZDF News reported that the president's visit was a completely staged

event.

Their crew witnessed how the open air food distribution point Bush

visited in

front of the cameras was torn down immediately after the president

and the herd

of 'news people' had left and that others which were allegedly being

set up were

abandoned at the same time.

 

The people in the area were once again left to fend for themselves,

said ZDF.

Equipment and resources were brought in to fake repair as a backdrop

for Bush

photo op, the

next day all was gone except one little back hoe.

" Perhaps the greatest disappointment stands at the breached 17th

Street Levee, "

said Landrieu, a Democrat.

 

" Touring this critical site yesterday with the President, I saw what

I believed

to be a real and significant effort to get a handle on

a major cause of this catastrophe.

 

" Flying over this critical spot again this morning, less than 24

hours later, it

became apparent that yesterday we witnessed a

hastily prepared stage set for a presidential photo opportunity.

 

" The desperately needed resources we saw were this morning reduced

to a single,

lonely piece of equipment.

 

" The good and decent people of southeast Louisiana and the Gulf

Coast - black

and white, rich and poor, young and old -

deserve far better from their national government. "
