Nagin said he needs military troops to provide security and 500 buses to take people stranded by Hurricane Katrina out of the city.
So far, he said, the promises are unfulfilled.
"I keep hearing that it's coming. This is coming. That is coming. My answer to that is B.S. Where is the beef?"
Nagin called for a moratorium on press conferences "until the resources are in this city."
"They're feeding the people a line of bull, and they are spinning and people are dying," he said.
Thousands of people have been stranded at the Ernest Morial Convention Center with little help and surrounded by corpses, trash and human waste. "They've more or less corralled us in two places: The convention center and the Superdome, with no food, no water, you could say almost 90-degree heat inside," said evacuee Alan Gould.
"We've got small children and sick and elderly people dying every day, small children being raped and killed, people running around with guns -- I'm scared for my life, my wife and my 5-year-old daughter's life. We don't even want to live here anymore."
Gould said he has been in the convention center for three days. "They keep telling us 'Buses coming, buses coming,' and nobody's showed up yet ... We need help. We need to be out of here today."
A National Guard helicopter began to drop food and water to the refugees Thursday afternoon.
Federal Emergency Management Director Michael Brown told CNN that federal officials were unaware of the crowds at the convention center until Thursday, despite the fact that city officials had been telling people for days to gather there.
I'm not too far into my lifetime, but I've never seen anything like this. These people are neglected and denied the necessities for survival. The purpose of this government is to provide those necessities in the wake of a national disaster, and they can't even provide safety let alone food, water and sanitation.
This is a bigger failure than 9/11. This is not an intelligence failure - unless we're talking about comprehension. While Condolezza is off buying new shoes for her 9/11 parade exploitation, using another national tragedy for their own political manipulation, people are dying, starving, and living in anarchy.
CNN: Frustration builds amid New Orleans chaos
You're god damn right frustration builds! I pray that the Fed has gotten off its asses, left Manhattan's shopping spree, stop flying overhead and understanding and get to business. It's past due.
SAVE AMERICA~! Homeland Security doesn't mean shit if national disasters are ignored!
