Bush Warned Before Katrina...Duh!

Ace of Spade HD reports:

Breathless Report: Bush Was Warned Levees Might Be Breached

With all due respect: Who the hell wasn't warned?

I was warned. You wer warned. Everyone in New Orleans, Louisiana, the entire Gulf Coast and, for that matter, every tuna-boat mate in Nome, Alaska was warned.

For five days running that's what all the talk on TV was about.

The breaching of the levees was always a possibility. They were only supposed to protect against a cat 3 storm, and a cat 5 storm is what was expected to hit New Orleans. (Actually, it turned out to be cat 3 when it hit, and the badly engineered levees still didn't hold back the water. The water just went beneath them. They hadn't been sunk deeply enough.)

Did Bush know the levees might be breached? Of course he friggin' knew.

This is news?

The article doesn't really inquire too deeply about why Katheleen Blanco refused federal help, or why she didn't order a mandatory evacuation. Or why Mayor Nagin didn't have his police round up stragglers and put them on to all those buses waiting in New Orleans parking lots.

Gateway Pundit also has a great piece on this.
