There have been lots of talk about who knew what about the dangers New
Orleans faced from hurricanes. Were studies done, how reliable were the
levees, etc? The following link takes you to the Times-Picayune site,
which has reposted a series of reports the paper did three years ago on
these topics.
Sounds like an excuse to me.
Your telling me it was only a ocncern when Bush came into power?
Give me a break. What happen to the concern when Clinton was in
office for 8 years? or when Carter was in office?
So if someone cut your funding would you just stop and not do anything
at all?

I believe work has been going on for years before Bush came into to
office. I note that you left out Reagan and Bush the Elder. I can't
say what happened before
I've know about new Orleans for a long time. My husband and I were thinking
about going there because we thought it would be gone in a few years and we
wanted one last visit before it was too late.
I wish i could say that my politics had nothing to do with it, but my
motivation is dehydrated
So without funding you really think that they could repair the levees
without equipment, supplies and additional manpower? I understand what you
mean about productivity, but it seems to me that you would still need the
millions$ worth of equipment and materials. do you really think cutting the
Like I said, it was stated and Democrats agreed, even with the full
funding, the projects did not go toward the reengineering of the
levees which is the States decision where the full funding was
specified for. Thats a blunder of the State which is typical when

dehydration, injuries, illness, and starvation, because the Feds took five

Why not let Walmart deliver the water on tuesday as they tried to do or

asses of the rescue. He is in control of security and the airlifts

were basing their reporting
So what percentage of the problem was on the shoulder of the Federal
Governement???

I do not know. I would say that all levels of government are at fault. I
