The City That Bush Forgot

I'm blaming Bush because its his job to be the guy at the top to get blamed when bad stuff happens on his watch. Sorry, but that is the way it is if you are going to be the "leader of the free world" so to speak.

Its enough to make me want to go into politics to fix this kind of stupid stuff.

EDIT:
This is what I get for cutting from a Windows machine and trying to paste into a Linux window *sigh*. I just turned the blasted windows box off like I should have to start with :-) Unfortunately I can't find the link that I was origianlly peddling. To summarize, it basically talked about how there was actually NO actual evacuation plans for the city of New Orleans. There was reference to a university professor that had evidence of the inadequacy of the levees, some really body cronyism regarding the folks that were contracted to actually design and distribute the evacuation plan and of course the actual knowledge of when the levees broke. Lots of smoking guns. If I do find it, I'll definitely post it.

EDIT 2: Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] st_darwin for finding the link to the article for me. Now I preface this with the fact that this is a finger-pointing type article that is not kind to Bush at all so make sure to have your salt-shaker close at hand when reading it. Also make sure to read the responsezx by [livejournal.com profile] st_dwivian and [livejournal.com profile] st_darwin as well as they both point out even more useful and interesting facts about the situation as well.
