Well, if FEMA was the first to anticipate it, why did it take them 80 years to figure it out (or however long they've been in existence)? The obvious fact is that the breach was obviously a possibility but Bush, Clinton, and everyone and anyone else in positions of responsibility out there for the past 100 or so years that this problem has existed in New Orleans paid it as much attention as the people in Thailand and Sri Lanka gave to the possibility of the Tsunami...and, yes, there were the same "dire" warnings from professionals that a Tsunami would cause the devastation that it did. ------------------------ Yahoo!
