It's the Incompetence, Stupid
This is am amazing story from the Associated Press on the briefings President Bush, Homeland Security Secretary Chertoff and their staffs received before Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans.
What did the President know? As the article states, that Katrina "could breach levees, put lives at risk in New Orleans' Superdome and overwhelm rescuers," i.e., essentially everything that happened. When did the President know it? August 28, the day before the storm arrived.
What did the President say? "I don't think anybody anticipated the breach of the levees." Except lots of people did, and now it is clear that they told him and Chertoff directly.
Heck of a job, Bushie.
