We certainly had a better director of FEMA before Bush took over.

Considering there has been 24 hour news camera footage of it for the last week, it doesn's suprise me that you ignored that with all the other facts.
But not in the direct path of a storm surge, and again to the NE of the city, thank you come again.
Again, behind the city. Out of curiousity, you do know that the levies didn't break until after the storm has passed right? Surely someone as detail oriented as you would have figured that out.
Poor poor sheep.
The search is over folks - I think we have found the new Ned!

Witt was universally respected and praised from all points of the political spectrum and had many years experience.
Brown's job prior to head of FEMA was in a Arabian horse trade association.

So what? I doubt his reputation would survive this act of God. He would have been just as absent for the first 3 or 4 days.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

This is a typical Washington turf war. I have seen hundreds like it before. There's no particular significance to this one over the others.Originally posted by Guynemer

First of all LakePontchartrain is directly linked to the Gulf of Mexico, look at the bit between NoLA and Slidell. Secondly surges in water "always" hit downstream targets after the rain has fallen. So all the water that Katrina dumped in the Mississippi monday afternoon and evening came to New Orleans on Tuesday, and that's why levees broke after the storm. The surge is the rain water in this case not some whipped up water from a storm.Comment

Lets make this easy for you, a special explanation, for a special boy.Zoom that map out lunkhead...
Lake Pochatrain is to the NE of New Orleans, on that mak and every other map, not along the Gulf coast as you thought. The storm surge did not strike the levees there like you said, gradual flooding as the water filtered inward through the waterways burst it.
Still with me?
The levee break on the Miss, is to the West of New Orleans, just where the map says, or in other words up river.
If you need any more help, feel free to ask

After about 50 miles of marsh and canals, ie the storm surge would not have smaked into and washed away the levee, though the lake would have and did experiance gradual flooding as the sea water moved through the marsh land. It was a slow break.First of all LakePontchartrain is directly linked to the Gulf of Mexico

Guy, this is the way the federal bureaucracy works in the US. People go the press to defend their turf. Every agency has scores of people wanting to give equally juicy quotes as to why things are going not to their wishes.
I'm explaining human nature as it relates to our federal government, neither excusing nor relying on it!I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.
