I know that everybody is already aware of the re-flooding. I had to post this article for the comment from the lame-brain accusing the COE of not doing the work right. I'm sure this guy is a brilliant engineer.

Karl Rove, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld called up Wal-Mart and Halliburton and told them to blow up all the levees this time.

Pass it on.

As if this round of flooding had not occurred, the houses could have been given a fresh coat of paint and people could have just moved in. Ridiculous.

Its all the Army Corps. of Engineers fault , they didnt rebuild the Levee properly. these people are sure good at the blame game.

They patched the levee , a patch is naver a permanent fix..Mayor Dumbo was gonna let them come back in. Maybe now the idiot will see that the Levee has to be fixed right before people come back. If I lived there I wouldnt come back, I would take what I could get for my property and move to higher ground. But thats just me I kinda like living above sea level.

Finger-pointing in every direction has been the game since August 29.

The problem is the flimsy walls of the "canals." None of the original large soil levees on the lake and the river broke. The bigger concern was overtopping.

The artificial canals are thin - the industrial canal for transport river to lake, and the canals like the 17th Street to make drainage of rainwater from the city easier. All should be shut down and plugged at the river and the lake. Another system for drainage of rainwater needs to be devised. The drainage canals operate to project artificial arms of Lake Ponchartrain into the center of New Orleans - these canal walls under no less water pressure than the out large earth shoreline levee.

Ward Nine and Chalmette might have to be written off.

"It's like looking at a murder," Quentrell Jefferson said as he watched the news at a church in Lafayette, 125 miles west of New Orleans. "The first time is bad. After that, you numb up."

Dang! How many murders has this guy seen?

When is Mayor Noggin' going to come out and thank Gen. Allen for saving the 100k+ people that Noggin' asked to come back into the city. Instead of Noggin' calling Allen "Fed Mayor King" or whatever, he should be kissing the dudes ring!

Don't expect that building next to water below sea level will ever be safe or a bright thing to do.

I've finally had it. Screw LA. Let them pay for their own recovery and do the work themselves. They elected all of these corrupt and whining imbeciles, and thus should face the consequences of their actions.
