Now remember, Bush had truck loads of equipment and supplies on the roads, WAITING for Katrina, just outside the suspected devistation area. Those trucks moved AFTER Katrina made landfall east of Louisiana, to help with the devestation there. NOLAs levees didn't break until hours later. Bush urged Blanco BEFORE Katrina hit to evacuate. He urged Blanco to call in the guard, BEFORE Katrina hit. He urged her to apply for federal help BEFORE Katrina hit, to get the ball rolling ASAP.
Bush toured NOLA 14 days after Katrina.
and 2 years prior to Katrina, the Army Corps of Engineers recommended their levee’s be re-inforced
true... but GWBush was not responsible for dealing with the clean up. that was the responsibility of the mayor, governor, and local leaders.
the year before we had 6 hurricanes come through florida. NOT ONCE did we expect the POTUS to be responsible for the clean up.
it was all a political trap set up to bash GW.
and yes... i believe the dems deliberately kept 20,000 people at the superdome to create the ‘crisis’, while film crews filmed the ‘tragedy’
