Thanks for trying, but it is his fault, not the least fault being the hiring of political crony Brown, and the public acknowledgement came yesterday as bush fired Brown, who himself said in his speech on stepping down that the government had been "operating on stupid" too long. Those were his words in quotes, not mine
Political Consequences Hurricane Katrinamarika Yeah, thanks for the message! By now, we've got more on that whole issue, e.g.: Sort of first steps "WASHINGTON - Sent packing from hurricane duty three days...
I doubt it would make any real difference to me to know what it said - the picture is enough.
Hurricane of Lies 4020Frank Kalder You are right. He was taken off the project, not all of FEMA. Obviously, he needs stronger representation, involvement, and presence to continue to be taken...
Wondering why
This is true, and obviously everyone already knows and KNEW this and the failure is in the managing of the money beforehand, when everyone KNEW that a cat 5 would put the city under. The failure to provide the funds necessary to shore up the levee is entirely the administration's fault.
Actually, I thought it was because of tide-floods, the buildings were inhabited. They were rather old and had tremendous historical value. Why would someone put that kind of history at risk, knowing full well the value of the city as a port and tourist attraction as well.
There was so much in the news about the possibility of a 5 in the years before. The head of the engineers agency made it very clear in interviews that the administration knew and made a business decision not to strengthen to the degree of level 5 protection. Might not have been such a far-fetched flight of imagination.
It was a bad business decision and yes the administration should be blamed
next time, they may build on chicken legs like those izbas in russia
