Here's what happened:

Bush/Cheney (at the expense of Halliburton) went to the levee site during construction and hypnotized the workers to only put the steel posts in half way.

Bush/Cheney only wanted to kill black voters - Louis Farrakhan was right!

Bush's Fault!

Steel in NO is like concrete in New York.

Won't take much digging (no pun intended) to find out who did what. Driving the steel shallower requires less steel. Less steel means there's more money left over to pay off the levee and other NO politicians demanding kickbacks.

Oh my gosh. Can it be the levee folks are as corrupt and inept at the Mayor, the Governor, the school district, the police department, etc etc? Say it ain't so.

Get a burn permit for the parts that are below sea level and get it over with. It was a (human) swamp before the flood, just let it return to being a regular swamp.

I'm glad the studies confirmed it. I wouldn't want to think that we had that disaster for nothing, and that the levees were completely sound.
