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.

Yes but again.
We are not talking about blame for the Levies.
George W Bush said on a TV interview, several days after Katrina, quite clearly, I did not know.
Then a video was released which quite clearly showed him in a video conference call with engineers quite plainly telling him that the levies were weak and would fail in the case of an extremely large storm.
At NO point have I blamed Bush for the problems that happened in New Orleans. Nor have I blamed him for not fixing the levies.
ALL I have done is point out that he lied. Which he did.
You can't defend that by saying what happened wasn't his fault, that has NOTHING to do with whether he lied.
