>>>>This year there is just too much water both from spring rains and incredible winter snowpack-—the dams aren’t breaking or anything, they are just filled to capacity and the excess water runs over the spillways.
The problem is Army Corps of Engineers mismanagement. They should have been letting water out in a controlled manner for months ahead of this, but they didn’t. They failed.
Yes you are absolutely right.
American Thinker online mag (June 23) has a great article about the idiocy and also the willful destructive management practices the Corps have been practicing for years now.
I’m too clueless to know how to post it but the title is “The Purposeful Flooding of America’s Heartland.”
Devastating piece. They have some punk murderous bureaucrat quoted in the story saying the horrific flooding “may be prolonged headache for the small towns and farmers along the way but it is a boon for endangered species.”
That is about a half a step from the Bolsheviks justifying the starvation of Russian peasantry for the larger interest of the Revolution.
But the Commies, at least, wreaked their evil in false (and deadly) pursuit of a perfect society. These scumbags do it in the name of the plover, the ferret, the spotted owl, the snail darter.
Or so they say.
