I couldn't believe my ears this AM listening to old DemoncRAT warhorse, former Senator Bennett Johnstone from LA, bemoaning how the Environmentalist wackos had forbade the DemoncRATs from allowing a shut-off to the 17th St. Canal which would have prevented the levee from being affected by the rising tide & storm waters.
"..forbade the DemoncRATs from allowing a shut-off to the 17th St. Canal which would have prevented the levee from being affected by the rising tide & storm waters."
Is this a plan they wanted to effect right before Katrina hit? I hadn't heard anything of this. It is a rather remarkable piece of news if so.
