Indeed they did... and they made that decision BEFORE Katrina even hit.

If you think it's too far-fetched, just consider the slander and venom that the Left has been spewing all across the board, as if someone has pressed a button and mobilized them everywhere.
They set a trap for Bush, and it was a two-pronged trap. They willingly allowed a natural disaster to be as bad as it could be, so that they could blame the result on Bush in the orgy of slander and calumnies we are witnessing. But they also allowed it to be as bad as it could be in an attempt to force him to overstep his authority in order to save lives. By using Blanco as a giant monkey wrench in the federal machine, they tried to force his hand into violating Posse Comitatus so they could impeach him. It's that simple. They are truly diabolical.
Bush didn't fall into the second half of the trap, but the first half was unavoidable. To the Dems, it's a win-win situation... but in the end, it'll be a lose-lose for them. For he who sets a trap will fall into it himself, and he who rolls a stone will have it roll back on him. The Truth will destroy them.
Thank you! Somebody gets it.
Yep, it was calculated mayhem on the RATS part.
