Bears repeating!
What's funny about this is freepers are constantly bashing MSM, and for good reason. There is even a thread about what the media got wrong. We all know the media will pick out only the whiners to show on TV while ignoring the majority who are working hard to get their lives back in order. Even Fox does this. But because this fits into the hate New Orleans agenda, freepers decide to believe it. Seems just a wee bit disingenous to me.
D'OH....If only one of you had thought to put your finger in the dike!!
Actually you start by having adequate designs first. The ACOE has stated that the design was flawed. The flood walls were doomed from the beginning.

We want our money back. Obviously even catastrophe has taught you nothing.
Was it true that money which had been allocated specifically for levee repair for years at the local level in New Orleans was used for other things of a less important nature than levee repair? It seems like corrupt politicians have corruption down to a fine science in New Orleans, because they seem to have mastered the art of shafting the people and even making them like it. Now, that's even better than the Clintons could do, and that's saying a lot.
