Bush warned before Katrina hit

Does anyone really believe that Bush is kept in the dark about anything? Does anyone really believe him when he says he didn’t know about this disaster or that scandal? I never have believed that because I know he’s full of fine Texas steer shit. At any rate, it seems that once again Herr Prez knew what was happening and didn’t really care seem worried (afterall, he did need to sell us on his Social Security thing and that was first and foremost on his mind at that time).

WASHINGTON – In dramatic and sometimes agonizing terms, federal disaster officials warned
President Bush and his homeland security chief before Hurricane Katrina struck that the storm could breach levees, put lives at risk in New Orleans’ Superdome and overwhelm rescuers, according to confidential video footage


Bush didn’t ask a single question during the final briefing before Katrina struck on Aug. 29, but he assured soon-to-be-battered state officials: “We are fully prepared.”



The footage – along with seven days of transcripts of briefings obtained by The Associated Press – show in excruciating detail that while federal officials anticipated the tragedy that unfolded in New Orleans and elsewhere along the Gulf Coast, they were fatally slow to realize they had not mustered enough resources to deal with the unprecedented disaster.

Oh my golly gee whiz! Can you believe it? Here is another example of Dear Leader getting caught in a lie. Remember “No one anticipated a breech of the levies”? Guess he “misstated” the facts there.
