THE DESTRUCTION OF NEW ORLEANS WAS A PLOT BY THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION TO TAKE SOME OF THE FOCUS OFF OF HIS HORRIBLY LOW APPROVAL RATINGS. I HAVE HEARD, FROM A RELIABLE SOURCE THAT WILL REMAIN UNNAMED, THAT THERE WAS A SECRET SPECIAL OPS MISSION TO DRILL HOLES IN THE LEVEES TO CAUSE THEM TO FAIL DURING THE STORM

"Changing role of National Guard takes toll on its citizen soldiers BY RON HARRIS St. Louis Post-Dispatch HOUMA, La. - (KRT) - They all left together, Charlie Company, the so-called "Black Sheep," 160 members of the Army National Guard on their way to Iraq from this small southern Louisiana community. As the buses rolled down Main Street, residents poured out of homes and businesses to wave goodbye to their citizen soldiers - college students, truck drivers, river workers, clerks. Students from Terrebonne High School left class and streamed onto the street for a last glimpse, some with tears rolling down their faces. Three months later, six of them returned together in flag-draped coffins following the worst single combat incident for the National Guard in Iraq. Seven soldiers had been killed when a roadside bomb struck their Bradley fighting vehicle, flipping the 50,000-pound vehicle upside down and killing everyone inside. Six of the men were from Charlie Company, four from Houma and nearby Raceland. The community was devastated. "The city took it very hard, even if you didn't know the soldiers," said Graham Douglas, principal of Terrebonne High School. "There was a lot of mourning." The funerals lasted days, and before the six soldiers could be buried, two more Louisiana National Guardsmen were killed by another roadside bomb. America's citizen soldiers of the National Guard and the Army, Navy and Marine Reserves increasingly are casualties in the war in Iraq. And the nation's reliance on the Guard and Reserves is changing them. Currently, members of the Guard and Reserves make up four of every 10 military personnel in Iraq. It's the largest long-term deployment of the nation's reserves in 50 years. "

"New Orleans had long known it was highly vulnerable to flooding and a direct hit from a hurricane. In fact, the federal government has been working with state and local officials in the region since the late 1960s on major hurricane and flood relief efforts. When flooding from a massive rainstorm in May 1995 killed six people, Congress authorized the Southeast Louisiana Urban Flood Control Project, or SELA. Over the next 10 years, the Army Corps of Engineers, tasked with carrying out SELA, spent $430 million on shoring up levees and building pumping stations, with $50 million in local aid. But at least $250 million in crucial projects remained, even as hurricane activity in the Atlantic Basin increased dramatically and the levees surrounding New Orleans continued to subside. Yet after 2003, the flow of federal dollars toward SELA dropped to a trickle. The Corps never tried to hide the fact that the spending pressures of the war in Iraq, as well as homeland security -- coming at the same time as federal tax cuts -- was the reason for the strain. At least nine articles in the Times-Picayune from 2004 and 2005 specifically cite the cost of Iraq as a reason for the lack of hurricane- and flood-control dollars. Newhouse News Service, in an article posted late Tuesday night at The Times-Picayune web site, reported: "No one can say they didn't see it coming....Now in the wake of one of the worst storms ever, serious questions are being asked about the lack of preparation." In early 2004, as the cost of the conflict in Iraq soared, President Bush proposed spending less than 20 percent of what the Corps said was needed for Lake Pontchartrain, according to a Feb. 16, 2004, article, in New Orleans CityBusiness. On June 8, 2004, Walter Maestri, emergency management chief for Jefferson Parish, Louisiana; told the Times-Picayune: “It appears that the money has been moved in the president’s budget to handle homeland security and the war in Iraq, and I suppose that’s the price we pay. Nobody locally is happy that the levees can’t be finished, and we are doing everything we can to make the case that this is a security issue for us.” "

"No one can say they didn't see it coming"
In 2001, FEMA warned that a hurricane striking New Orleans was one of the three most likely disasters in the U.S. But the Bush administration cut New Orleans flood control funding by 44 percent to pay for the Iraq war

Bush's numbers have eroded since initial polls following the hurricane:

Quote :

"A Pew Research Center poll found 67 percent of Americans believed Bush could have done more to speed up relief efforts, and just 28 percent believed he did all he could. His approval rating slipped to 40 percent, down four points since July to the lowest point Pew has recorded. ... A CBS poll taken September 6-7 found 38 percent approved of Bush's handling of the storm's aftermath, while 58 percent disapproved. That was a dramatic shift from immediately after the storm last week, when 54 percent approved and 12 percent disapproved. The CBS poll also found confidence in Bush during a crisis had fallen and only 48 percent now view him as a strong leader -- the lowest number ever for Bush in the poll. A year ago 64 percent of voters saw Bush as a strong leader. Bush's approval rating fell to 41 percent in a new Zogby poll, with only 36 percent giving him a passing grade on his handling of the response to the storm."

A hurricane hitting NO has been on the disaster list for many years before Bush and every President has done the same thing. If you blame that on Bush then you also blame Clinton, Bush I, and on down the list.

i doubt bush has any actual blamer personally, due to the fact that all those lists and shit are all being view in with hindsight.... the real blame goes to him for nepatism and shit like that. i mean how the hell does a race horse judge lead fema and that being an example of only one person who was unqualified for the current position there in. i think thats the blame that should be placed. the

9/9/2005 4:12:02 PM

I don't actually know that ever president cut the funding before Bush, but if that's true, I will admit that they can all be blamed. They can NOT all have been quoted as saying that no one could have ever predicted that the levees would break / it would be this bad as Bush said.
