I guess the same spooks who brought down the WTC by controlled implosion were down in NOLA blowing the levees Monday night.

Busy little beavers, ain't they?

I heard they're off next to California to place explosives along the San Andreas so Bush set off an earthquake and kill the gays in San Fran.

These loons NEVER to look at facts:

Hurricane Katrina had a CAT. 5 SURGE* winds went down but the SURGE didn't. There was NO WAY this wouldn't have breached the levee. The canal levee was the weakest part of the levee** which is where the breaches occurred. Fact is this SURGE was just like a TSUNAMI, extremely POWERFUL. Those are the facts. Anything else proves the ABSOLUTE IGNORANCE of that crowd. In fact, through thoughts I've come to the conclusion this group of folks are NO DIFFERENT than THE MSM.

Katrina weakened slightly to a Category 4 hurricane with maximum sustained winds estimated at 145 mph as it made landfall early Monday, but it maintained a storm surge that is only generally found in category 5 storms.*

Posted back to me here at FR: **"I went to college in New Orleans some years ago. The canals were generally known to be the weaker parts of the system, especially in regard to Lake Pontchartrain. Even a casual view of the levees made clear that the river levees were far more substantial than those on the canals.

Many of the Black neighborhoods had older residents who remembered past floods and had a sense of their relative vulnerability. What they did not usually recognize was that a full break in the canal levees would be far worse than times when water simply surged over the levee and overwhelmed the pumps.

Nor did many understand that, for reasons of river delta geology, the entire city is sinking at a rate of about a foot a decade and that past floods were a poor guide to current dangers. I am sure that many died wondering why the water kept rising beyond its maximum in the worst flooding in living memory."

WHY WASN'T THE BREAK SEALED IMMEDIATELY?

Has a DUmmie ever worked a day in their life? Have they ever lifted a finger in manual labor? For that matter, have they ever been outside? They come up with their theories, but never having been in the real world, they can only make guesses as to how it works.

I've been waiting for this to start. It was only a matter of time before the moonbats went off the cliff like lemmings on this.

"However, I don't think that we should ignore the fact that BushCo gutted the Army Corps of Engineer's budgets, which might have prevented this disaster."

Same old Mantra. Just keep repeating the same outrageous lie as if its a fact. The New Orleans Levee board had 2 Billion in Federal Funds available to improve the Levees, but instead focused on building Golf Courses and Condo projects, etc. I really wish the Federal govt had more control over it, since now its going to cost us taxpayers at least 200 Billion in the short term. We'll be paying for their incompetence and corruption for the rest of our lives...

Hate to bother you again but got a link??? This is a great companion piece to the one about the Bush Administration creating the cat 4 hurricane just like the "cloud seeding at Woodstock."
