George W Bush:
"I didn't know that the levies were weak!"
Video comes out:
"Mr President, the levies are weak."
Tony Blair:
"Iraq can attack with weapons of mass destruction in just 45 minutes!"
Truth:
"Iraq could deploy normal weapons on a battle field IN Iraq, in 45 minutes."

fong it has been known for about 5 decades that the levies were bad. The Army Corps of Engineers and our state government has known that they wouldnt survive a Cat 3 storm.
Whether Bush knew or not is irrelevant to the real issue here in New Orleans. They have been talking about a big storm hitting NO for decades and how the levees wouldnt hold.
People want to blame Bush for it, then go ahead. At least those of us who live here and have seen the state government do nothing for decades about it know the truth and that is good enough for me.
