Or so I have been reading on the internet. I did however find this article from 2000 which discusses the levee system.
This did not come out of nowhere, these levee's haev been an accident waiting to happen for years so to blame Bush or the war is nonsense. Here is the most telling quote.
"If it were left to residents and city officials, the status quo would prevail. One city official says of the flooding and subsidence, "We are below sea level and we do get floods sometimes, but it's not a real serious problem. You can still purchase flood insurance." Another city official expressed faith in the current levee system."
So my question to all of you Bush haters is, have you no shame?

I think your right on about this. The Bush-bashers make no sense. For the last couple months, they have criticized Bush for not having enough soldiers in Iraq to run a successful occupation and maintain the peace. Now they are saying that if the soldiers (particularly the N.O. National Guard) were not in Iraq, they would be able to get the chaos in NO under control faster.
They can't have it both ways.
