Smoking gun: How Bush let New Orleans be wiped-out
"In early 2004, as the cost of the conflict in Iraq soared, President Bush proposed spending less than 20 percent of what the Corps said was needed for Lake Pontchartrain, according to a Feb. 16, 2004, article, in New Orleans
CityBusiness.
On June 8, 2004, Walter Maestri, emergency management chief for Jefferson Parish, Louisiana; told the Times-Picayune: It appears that the money has been moved in the president's budget to handle homeland security and the war
in Iraq, and I suppose that's the price we pay. Nobody locally is happy that the levees can't be finished, and we are doing everything we can to make the case that this is a security issue for us."
Get it? Because of the Iraq War and Bush's priorities, which did not include protecting New Orleans, the levees broke and we had the greatest ever disaster in mainland US history. How you can support such misleadership is beyond me. You don't believe in accountability at all, do you? Just blaming the victims or the prodecessor and spinning your way out of it. Well sorry, that dog don't hunt. |
