> it only took five days to move mountains when the US was going into Irak
Caught you on a technicality; They aren't mountains anymore when you
bomb them into a shiny glass deposit.

It was obviously a mismanaged operation, and there were a lot of
people at fault.

I just saw a former levee worker was interviewed by a news station in
the area well before the hurricane hit. She had stated, and I'm
quoting, "...if we're hit by a level 5 hurricane like this ...even a
slow moving level 3 hurricane, we're going to be inundated with
water."

Everyone was convinced this was going to be a major catastrophe, and
that the levees wouldn't be able to pump the water out. The following
day, Bush acts shocked. "No one could have known that the levees would
break."

On top of that, Bush was rewarding everyone for their efforts! How
about we just stick all of these guys in a vat of bronze so we award
them to the next bunch that fucks up this badly.

Where are all these corrupt (presumably white) Louisanaand New Orleans corrupt government officials when the shit hit the fan. Surely someone in the U.S.Government is there to oversee that when money is thrown at a state that the state provides a record of what contingency plans have been put in place, even if only rhetoric? If the US Government wasready to move in, what took them so long, it only took five days to move mountains when the US was going into Irak, yet five days on and the levees are still flooding?
