"I don’t think anyone could have anticipated the breach of the levees."– President Bush - September 1, 2005

"We didn’t know about this in the White House."

"When that storm came through at first,people said, "Phew!" There was a sense of relaxation at a critical moment."

"We view this storm as a ’temporary’ disruption."

LISTEN TO THIS BUSH COMPILATION ABOUT KATRINA
(600kb, approx. 3 minutes)
Regarding Bush, the report found that "earlier presidential involvement could have speeded the response" because he alone could have cut through all bureaucratic resistance.
.
.
.
"If 9/11 was a failure of imagination then Katrina was a failure of initiative. It was a failure of leadership," the report’s preface states. "In this instance, blinding lack of situational awareness and disjointed decision making needlessly compounded and prolonged Katrina’s horror."
..
.
Given those warnings, the report notes Bush’s televised statement on Sept. 1 that "I don’t think anybody anticipated the breach of the levees," and concludes: "Comments such as those . . . do not appear to be consistent with the advice and counsel one would expect to have been provided by a senior disaster professional."

Well America how much more are you going to allow from this phoney
GWB, Cheney, Rice, Rove, Rumsfeldt,
McClelland, Cheroff and the rest of the mob get away with.?????????
The media knows many stories that have not been published or told to hide the real stories about Katrina, it was allowed to happen so the rich can profit from the destruction, those trailers sitting in Arkansaw will never be used. Another misguided false promoise of phoney crap from bush gang.
Sure they may bring the leavies back to a safe area, but wait, we have those who want this property to build their fancy Condos and Gambling houses on. Those who lived there were shipped from from their homes will never be able to back. If they think taking the walls and leaving the roof, and the studs standing and the floor area which is full of rot and decay and filled with pools of oil will never be able to live in them.
All those homes that were standing in water need to be torn down, health should be concern rebuilding and making it safe is not on their agenda.
Sept. 11, Katrina, Iraq all of these terrible events that have occured in this GWB time has proven that we have a evil and yes corupt government and the party members of bush are brain dead. All they can do is find fault with Dem party, yes they are all to blame that have allowed bush to get away with murder.
Cheney is no different, he speaks with snarled grin on his face and bush smirks boy talk about cartoons,
how can the world see America as a two faced democracy. We have none, we have a crimminal hide and seek game going on.
Impeach all of them before bush leaves office so we can clean up the rot that his been flung on America and the world.
Bush needed Sept. 11 to attack middle east and yet he is going to go after Iran regardless of the danger to the world. He cares not for lives, he is phoney Americans should hide their faces from the world.
