New Orleans Is Flooded Again.

[Taem]

:unsure:

This is awful. Levees are busting all over the place, and weakened spots that needed to be repaired but were not because they were fixing actual holes have started to bust open.

This is crazy.

A moment of prayer and silence for all those in the path of Rita.

No, this is crazy! This really makes Bush look negligent for being able to prevent the flooding in New Orleans, and lying to the public about there being no threat from Katrina when he heard indisputable information ahead of time. To sum this up in simple terms, this was a fully preventable tragedy.

I’m waiting to see what the Bush administration has to say about this. How long will Bush ride the “ignorance” train until it derails? Is his administration really that ineffective that he believes Iraq has WMD’s, that the levees will not burst, that wiretapping millions of Americans is within his legal rights, etc. Sure, these are different circumstances that all went sour, but this is the same administration making these mistakes.

Oh well, I just hope the government gets FEMA up to speed so if another tragedy strikes, we’ll be fully prepared. I believe everything happens for a reason and perhaps the incident in New Orleans helped create a more stable and quick to respond FEMA, and possibly expose weaknesses in our current governments administrations that needed exposing to ultimately make it a stronger government in times ahead. Time will tell.
