Don't see them.
This wasn't on Bush.
The link you provided requires some explanation.

Thats just ONE set of buses. Howlin posted this link last night to an additional set (lower right hand corner).

The important thing to remember is that these buses did not have to take thes people all the way to Texas, all they had to do was get them out of the N.O. swamp to higher ground. Each bus could have made 10 round trips in the time available, so thats more like 150,000 that could have been moved to higher ground and spread out around the area.
I am sending the following email to as many media as I can. Copy and send if you have addresses.
There is growing controversy about the deployment of evacuation buses in New Orleans. Evidence shows they were not deployed to help evacuate the needy. Further investigation from previous hurricanes shows that these buses are only deployed in NOLA AFTER the storms hit, not before. This appears to be that they want to save the buses and not want risk damage to them. This needs to be investigated as this policy has caused untold death in the past week.

It took a while to load, then did a shrink-to-fit for my screen, and I could still see them.
You know, that was the first shot I've actually really looked at in the way of structural damage in the area - wow, a lot of those houses really got ripped to pieces by the wind, then storm surge. Don't know if the remaining water is from the levee breaks or if that is just what is left from the spill over from the surge.
Those buses sure produced a nice oil slick.
Has anyone been able to also get a picture of the 360 city buses parked at the NO Transportation Authority garage? Along with hundreds of school buses, that would have been about all they needed to get the 42,000 evacuees out. Of course, where would they have put them? There were no stocked shelters set up elsewhere, or very few of them. I think the plan was not to have that many people survive...the beauty of the tsunami.
I suspect many looters had absolutely NO INTENTION of evacuating. On the contrary. They saw this as their one big opportunity.
Check the new Superdome/Buses photo above.
This news story from an Omaha TV station's web site puts the number of school busses left in New Orleans at 200.
