Cover your ass tears. Nagin and Blanco are to blame and she knows it, thus this RAT defensive mechanism:

From post # 151 from this thread:

Piece of the puzzle #6 pointing to Nagin and Blanco as the real disasters and the blame for the tragedy:

1] Failed to learn lessons from Ivan

2] Failed to heed warning from President Bush's--the President ordered Blanco to evacuate before the storm hit.

#3] Failed to heed the Director of National Weather Ser., who called Nagin Sat night, shocked that Nagin failed to heed warnings and pleaded with him to get the evacuation starte

#4] Demographic info (and photots) proving that Nagin had more busses per person than your typical city (based on demographic data) and photos proving busses lined up in mass, drowned in water since Nagin failed to utilize them.

See posts #54 and #34 at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1476006/posts?page=54#54

#5] Welfare checks were set to be delivered arond the same time as Katrina was expected, a major reason why the people did not evacuate. Nagin failed to take this into account. He could have promised the people that they woudl be taken care of and urged them /FORCED THEM, to tleave the city.

Until TV or radio transcripts can be pulled showing Nagin pleading with people to evacuate, and until we see film footage of policemen forcibly moving people onto busses to get them out, we can't remove this blame from the local officials.

#6] And now this. Just think--Blanco just named Witt to head up another task force! Morons doing more moronic things.

Clearly, the blame falls on the Numnut Nagin and Bozo Blanco.

What major piece has been left off this list? Anybody?

When the Rats know they are in trouble, that's what they do, say the most outlandish lies, knowing enough will buy it, so that when the truth inevitably comes out, the damage to the party is minimized.

Well ... you can add this: On Friday before the hurricane President Bush sent a legal memo offering to consolidate all local, state and fed power to handle the storm effort ... Blanco declined. Things might have turned out very differently if the bus system had been used to get EVERYONE out.

Shortly before midnight Friday, the Bush administration sent her a proposed legal memorandum asking her to request a federal takeover of the evacuation of New Orleans, a source within the state's emergency operations center said Saturday.

Is Witt the Clintonista who said that in the event of an emergency the first thing he would do would be to confiscate all the firearms owned by the people?
