Of course. Remember what happened to Gen. Shinseki? When he said that we would need at least 500,000 soldiers to control post-Saddam Iraq, Shinseki was shown the door. Wolfowitz said that Shinseki was just guessing and was way off the mark. Well, who is off the mark now?! Wolfowitz screwed up and was rewarded. Shinseki spoke the truth and was kicked out. That is the way it works in Dumbya's cabal. How come Franks, Bremer and Tenet -- three of the biggest screw-ups of 2003-04, got medals from Dumbya? And who is next in line? Brownie? Chertie?

Look what shows up just a few days after pres Shrub assures us everything is ok and all repairs will be completed by June 1: --------------------------------------- Unexpected cause of levee break found Findings raise questions about safety of the flood barriers that didn't fail NEW ORLEANS - The force of surging high water from Hurricane Katrina bent back a key New Orleans flood wall and splintered its foundation, an investigating panel said Friday in a report that sheds new light on the cause of the city's flooding while raising questions about the city's surviving levees... ...A 450-foot section of the flood wall near Lake Pontchartrain collapsed Aug. 29 without ever being overtopped by Katrina's storm surge, according to the panel, which was appointed by the Army Corps of Engineers. Army Corps officials said the findings had prompted an immediate reassessment of ongoing efforts to rebuild 169 miles of Katrina-damaged levees... ...The findings were viewed as worrisome by some experts who noted that New Orleans still has dozens of miles of similar flood walls that were weakened but not breached by Katrina. chron.com -------------------------------------- Another example of how this pres just does not have a clue as to what is really happening...and today he comes out with this: "Bush Confident Iraq Will Avoid Civil War" ...it boggles the mind...
