Gov. Kathleen Blanco (search) called the looters "hoodlums" and issued a warning to lawbreakers: Hundreds of National Guard troops hardened on the battlefield in Iraq have landed in New Orleans.

"They have M-16s and they're locked and loaded," she said. "These troops know how to shoot and kill, and they are more than willing to do so, and I expect they will."

Is that just an idle threat or do you think it's serious?  (I hope that it is !)

It's words for the media to chew on.  Nothing more.  How many of the looters and survivors stuck on rooftops in NO heard her words?  If she has something to say to the looters, she should say it with a bullhorn from an overpass.  That's the only way they're going to hear it.

She should have said that before the storm ever hit.

What an idiot.

I think it's pretty funny how GWB tactfully blasted her and Nagin in his TV interview.

Just as well said they were incompetent idiots.

I'm getting the same vibe.  Hopefully she was just trying a scare tactic.  Either way, bad ju-ju.

Way behind the curve, and she doesn't project much authority. Now, HITLEREY I would believe. More than a few bodies buried there
