Did you check out the first two links in your post? The Federal Register refered to is -

"Intent To Prepare a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the West Shore--Lake Pontchartrain, Louisiana, Hurricane Protection Feasibility Study"
How does this as a "matter of fact" reflect on Clinton?

A national disgrace --
"At all levels, government is overbearing and nagging, paying for people's prescription drugs and telling us whether we can smoke in restaurants or not. But when it comes to its most elemental task of maintaining order and protecting property, it might not be up to the task when it is needed most.""Keep that in mind and buy a gun, just in case."
Mess on the Mississippi -- the surrounding nub of land around the last 20 miles of the rivers, known colloquially as the "crow's foot," was decimated by the storm.
An Unnatural Disaster: A Hurricane Exposes the Man-Made Disaster of the Welfare State -- "
There were many decent, innocent people trapped in New Orleans when the deluge hit--but they were trapped alongside large numbers of people from two groups: criminals--and wards of the welfare state, people selected, over decades, for their lack of initiative and self-induced helplessness. The welfare wards were a mass of sheep--on whom the incompetent administration of New Orleans unleashed a pack of wolves."
New Orleans refugees bitter after Katrina ordeal -- "This is a prime example of what happens when a country has generation after generation after generation of people on welfare. Its not "how can I help myself or my family" its "what is the government going to give me and when will I get it?" mentality."

Thank God President Bush moved in. Finally, some one is doing something to organize that mess down there. It's a heavily democrat state, yet there's not one democrat politician down there doing anything. The Republicans are down there straightening things up, and it's not even their job--When Florida gets it, it's always Jebs fault when someone gets hurt. Now that a democrat governor fails, it's the presidents fault?
I've had several requests to post the emergency preparedness information. Here is the post I created after 9/11.
Emergency Preparedness (year's supply of food, 72 hour kit)
There is also more detailed information at this website.
Food Storage and Emergency Preparation
I think looking at everything is overwhelming. But we can all start small and work up. I'm still working on being physically, emotionally, and financially prepared for anything. It is a lifelong pursuit. I'll quit preaching now...
Superdome evacuee: 'Worst night of my life' --
"Janice Singleton, a worker at the Superdome, said she
got stuck in the stadium when the storm hit. She
said she was robbed of everything she had with her,
including her shoes. "They tore that dome apart," she said sadly. "They tore it
down. They taking everything out of there they can
take."
The Left Descend Into Madness -- It's BS that they were too poor to get out. Walkin' is free. Exceptin the aged and infirm who were left by their "community", their mayor and governor for the buzzards.

We see now what "Lord of the Flies" is really like. Even if you do not live in a big city, you need to arm yourselves. If ever you doubt that, play a tape of that New Orleans film footage over and over, and read about the rapes and the murders.

You say this isn't about politics? F*ck you, this IS politics, real time, real life politics, where the insanity of all your ideas are exposed to the world for the fraud that they are. Tax cuts kill. Ask the relatives of the dead of the Gulf Coast.

Woman on Fox has a sign: why did you leave us RAY NAGIN? Betcha CNN won't show anyone like this.
I saw an interview two days ago with someone from the projects by the French Quarter. The young man said that when it's time to vote, Nagin and his ilk were all over down there saying "Vote for us. We're homies", but that when this happened, they were nowhere to be seen, and had gotten themselves and their families out, and could've cared less about their voting base.
A distinguished black gentleman on Fox just stated very clearly that the "blame" for this does not rest with President Bush. Think his name is Herman Cain....
Here is a
LINK to the City of New Orleans Emergency Preparedness page titled "General Evacuation Guidelines". Check it out.
Did you see these graphics of topography changes on the
NASA website?
or read about the care and handling of pets during a natural disaster. Speaking of which I am going to try to maintain a thread with updates on the
animal rescue work taking place in NO here for anyone who is interested.

Did you hear the phone call just on MSNBC from the lady who was just rescued today from Slidell?
It was very disturbing. (At least it will be for a lot of people when we start hearing MORE of these stories.)
The people banned together, went to a mall, lived out of the food court, formed a "semi-government/town," had rules, policed themselves. Saved themselves.
Quite unlike what happened in the SuperDome/Convention Center.

"As many as 100,000 inner-city residents didn't have the means to leave and an untold number of tourists were stranded by the closing of the airport,
so the city arranged buses to take people to 10 last-resort shelters, including the Superdome."

Following is a link, from blogger GEA3, that will give you an idea how much the Clinton folks like Witt did for flood control in Louisiana. Here is a taste of what the Clinton administration did in 1995 thru 2000:
US Left: All Straws Clutched, Every Barrel Scraped A sample from 1995:
Clinton administration officials argue that the flood-control efforts are local projects, not national, and should be paid for by local taxes.

US coal reserves are over 200 years and already power over 50% of US electricity. I remember that it was the largest field of that kind outside of Indonesia (?) before the toon federalized the land so it could not be used for mining. Clean burning coal - as I recall, the largest supply in the world next to the one in Indonesia. As I also recall, Bubba made the US supply in Utah a Fed protected area (Nat'l park or some such - I forget the exact wording) and the one in Indonesia is/was owned by the Lippo Group (his friends and donors)
I checked over at the archives of
http://mgno.com, to see when he reported hearing of flooding with the levees.
He reported it on the 29th
Their plan has always been to let the peons fend for themselves and to stick their hand out for money when it's over. It's really that brutally simple.
You can present the best disaster plan every concocted, but if the powers that be don't implement it, it won't save one life.
