>>Bush cut funding for levee protection<< Actually untrue, liar. Was just listening to the radio about how much new funding he had made available via homeland security (I believe). >>Yesterday, Bush told is everything was going to be fine. He did not say a word about bringing help back home from Iraq and did not seem personally concerned in the least. It seems Bush has some mental problems. He cannot grasp reality.<< Untrue again you lie. Bush said it wood to months to yeats to recover from Katrina. Do you lie naturally, or do you have to think about it? Bush HAS grasped the issue of Global warming. He has not figured out how to put out the sun. Unfortunately, hurricanes are not caused by global warming, liar. Impeach American Spirit from SI. Jim

It is Bill Clinton's fault. During the (g) Budget surplus years he refused to give the money as has everyone else since 1965. Why can you never be honest and tell the truth? Much of the devastation in New Orleans was caused by breaches in the levees, which sent water from Lake Pontchartrain pouring into the city. Since much of the city is below sea level, the levee walls acted like the walls of a bowl that filled until as much as 80 percent of the city was under water. Similarly, the Army Corps requested $78 million for this fiscal year for projects that would improve draining and prevent flooding in New Orleans. The Bush administration's budget provided $30 million for the projects, and Congress ultimately approved $36.5 million, according to Landrieu's office. "," said Michael Parker, a former Republican Mississippi congressman who headed the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers from October 2001 until March 2002, when he was ousted after publicly criticizing a Bush administration proposal to cut the corps' budget. A corps plan to shore up the levees began in 1965 and was supposed to be finished in 10 years but remains incomplete. "They've never put enough money in to complete it," Parker said. He complained that the corps' budget has been regularly targeted by the White House because public works projects are perceived as pork and aren't considered "sexy."
