Bingo. The fools pi$$ed away their levee money buying everything BUT levees.
Bump!!!
Read later.
bump for later.
Excellent summary of the case. As I've said before, we need to get the word out by every means possible, to counteract the lies of the corrupt MSM. This article and others like it should be emailed to your contacts, wherever you think it will do some good. We need to show up the MSM propaganda campaign that is blaring from the New York Times and the network talking heads.
He'll spin it by simply repeating ever bigger lies. He's just a part of the Category 5 'Rat onslaught against Bush & the GOP that I predicted last Wednesday or Thursday. The Pubbies need to take off the gloves and put on the brass knuckles, something which this story does quite nicely, if I may say so.
Watching CCN spin it against Bush all day... it's sickening.
Good idea, I'll email the original out to my list.
Clinton News Network has ratings that are circling the drain. And rightly so.
Ping.
"the dark side will try to make this the campaign issue."
But of course!
They have NO solutions so they need to be critical of the opposing party.
Excellent. Thanks for the ping. This needs to have legs.
MUST READ BUMP!
Ping! :)
Do you have references for this? I've seen this posted a couple of times and I've been looking for the citation, but haven't found it yet.
Jesse Jackson, and the STUPID BLACK CAUCUS, and our mainstream press, all that are BLAMING PRESIDENT BUSH, have tried to jump the gun and get out their message to COVER UP what they all KNOW!
It was corruption, lack of FOLLOWNG THEIR OWN evacuation plan set in place in 2001 (which of course called for use of school buses!), being suspicious of President Bush and failing to ORDER a MANDATORY EVACATION...that has caused MANY MANY DEATHS. Many. And THEY KNOW IT. ALL OF THEM.
Interesting articles about New Orleans leeve systems.
....Federal officials are so stunned by these sorts of findings that they're rethinking their assumptions about New Orleans. Officials in the U.S. Army say, 'There's got to be a way to prevent some of that devastation.' So they'll study whether they should build more levees and build them higher. They'll study whether the region needs new highways, so people can evacuate faster.
Critics say, 'We don't need more construction, we need less.'

Oliver Houck from Tulane University says, "Stop the foolishness of permitting yet more residential development. We are granting permits every week for new subdivisions right in the path of where this stuff is going to go. We're still covering those people with flood insurance, Daniel."
And state and federal officials are asking Congress to launch a massive project to restore the region's natural defenses. They want billions of dollars to try to rebuild some of the crumbling wetlands, which buffer New Orleans from hurricanes raging up from the Gulf. Scientists say that's the best way to save the city: make that ancient shield of wetlands strong again.

Get a transcript of Neal Cavuto's show from Sunday morning. One of his guests went through a laundry list of things the levee board wasted money on.
