Huckabee Launches "Operation Kare" For Katrina Victims
Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee has put the state of Arkansas on full alert with what he has dubbed "Operation Kare" (Katrina Assistance and Relief Effort) to assist the state's neighbors in Louisiana and Mississippi."We're now working on ways to deal with helping them long-term — everything from educating their kids" to helping with prescriptions, communicating with families, accessing bank accounts, finding long-term housing and employment, Huckabee told FOX News.
He also hailed the leaders of the states hit hardest by Katrina. "They're doing an outstanding job in ... trying to lead their states in the equivalent of Armageddon — it is apocalyptic in nature," he said.
