Can anyone tell me the approx. time between when the hurricane ended and the levees failed? I mean, honestly, if they had the hurricane (cat. 4-5) coming near them, and the levees could only sustain a cat. 4, couldn't they have inspected the levees, and tried to find out what they could do to prevent the break before it happened, and to see if there was enough time to emergency evac the people at the shelters? Also, why didn't the shelters have enough food stockpiled to handle several days without food anyways? I believe in my honest opinion that every single state and local official in New Orleans and Louisiana should be charged with negligent genocide. IMHO. As for the federal governments response, it takes a while, they were not prepared for this sort of disaster. It also didn't make it easier that the city was in complete anarchy.

Because the real plan was:
Let the people fend for themselves.
Put hands out for money.
That's their plan. That's what they do. Unfortunately this time the levee actually broke.
