>But seems to me I saw Chertoff on CNN last night, just before they announced Rehnquist's death, and he was still saying "no one knew it would be this bad," and for that I think he needs to go, because if he doesn't know it's been predicted for years as one of the top 3 potential disasters in the U.S., he's too clueless to be in that job.<
Amelia, take his statement, and put it in the context that "no one knew the incompetence of the Governor and the Mayor, and the entire heirarchy of Louisiana was this complete", and I think you'll get an entirely different meaning to his statement.
Makes his statement pretty on target, doesn't it?

CNN is replaying quotes by Chertoff & Brown, which confirm my impression from last night - although Brown said on Friday Aug. 26 that this could be a huge disaster, on Wednesday Aug. 31 he was saying we couldn't have foreseen it, and as late as last night Chertoff was saying that the breaks in the levees couldn't have been foreseen.

Sooooo.... YOU knew it was going to be that bad?
Interesting. Guess you are the only one in the world who did.
