BIG NEWS! President Bush was warned of Katrina before it struck! Wow! I never would have guessed that would you? News agencies are going ballistic because it is said that Pres. Bush was told of the hurricane's abilitly to break levees and flood New Orleans. In confidential video footage of a video conference between FEMA and the President, then FEMA Brown warns Bush of the potential of this hurricane. At the end Bush confidently replies that FEMA is ready...relying on the info he was getting from FEMA this should be obvious...did Brown say that FEMA would be unable to handle it...I don't think so!
But hold off on that for now, engineers have been warning the government for the last 15-20 years that the levees in New Orleans could be easily breached if hit with a category 4 or 5 hurricane. It's time for the moronic media to shut up and get out.
During this weeks festivities in new Orleans for Mardi Gras, the media was reporting: "New Orleans celebrates first Fat Tuesday (the day before Ash Wednesday) since Katrina!" There is a reason for this as Rush Limbaugh pointed out, namely that this is the first Fat Tuesday since Katrina.
What went wrong during Katrina? I have the answer. The Democratic Governor of Louisiana and Mayor of New Orleans refused to cooperate with the Red Cross and the Federal government. In a nutshell that's it, true the federal government could have been better prepared, but you can always be better prepared when disaster strikes...that's why it's called "disaster!"
