If that story ever breeches MSM, there will be some very unhappy family members to deal with. Just months before Katrina hit, the state was audited and people were indicted for misusing funds meant to repair levees, etc. Someone on a long ago thread mentioned the possibility that Blanco's foot dragging in the aftermath was due to her fear of discovery. She was afraid that if FEMA and the government rolled in immediately, they'd unearth some pretty bad stuff.
I'm not typing too coherently this morning. Anyway, if I remember correctly, the person who made the comment(paraphrased), is from LA.
I don't know how anyone could have prevented the destruction, but dammit they knew this was coming and the hospitals should have been evacuated, with mandatory evacuation starting 48 hrs ahead of landfall for everyone else...with a brain that is. The Heineken guy is my desktop wallpaper. Someone made a parody ad for Heineken thanking New Orleans for making them number 1 ;-)
"they knew this was coming and the hospitals should have been evacuated"
Yes, they knew it was coming and saved their own hides. Now, instead of taking responsibilty their busy pointing fingers at everyone else. Sad lack of leadership.
