#1 Unfortunately one thing she is right about is the 100+ years of trying to control the course of the Mississippi that has resulted in a reduction of silt depostion in the delta and the resultant loss of wet lands. So if she wants to blame Bush she had also be ready to blame other presidents including St. Franklin

#2 Guys ... I don't remember the specific post, but I predicted that the demented morons on the Left would somehow, someway, blame Bush for Katrina. Its blame Bush all day, all night.

These idiots wish to blame Bush, fine. Let them have their fun. But if they blame America say after a second massive Al-Qaeda attack ...hmmmm ...can you see the return of sedition laws? Maybe an American Freikorps? I see dead people...

#3 ...in June, Bush took his little ax...

So, between June and now they would have had a plan to protect the city from a hurrican like Katrina, right? Not just a plan, but a completed project, right? Hello?

...As was reported in New Orleans CityBusiness at the time, that meant "major hurricane and flood projects will not be awarded to local engineering firms...

Halliburton! Surely Ivins doesn't think public money should go to private companies?

#5 WE should just build a giant sci-fi dome that encloses the entire city of New Orleans. Then it can be air conditioned and comfortable and safe from hurricanes and floods and mosquitos and zombies and aligators. The dome should be built on a giant pair of legs so that it could walk to safety in the case of a worse case disaster.

We would have build such a dome by now if Bush's short sited policies had not distracted us. Bad bush, very bad bush.

#7 These flaws in Bush's policies are going to destroy any chance he has of re-election.

#8 Unfortunately one thing she is right about is the 100+ years of trying to control the course of the Mississippi that has resulted in a reduction of silt depostion in the delta and the resultant loss of wet lands.

Even if the Army Corps Of Engineers didn't try to control the direction of the Mississippi, New Orleans would still be living on borrowed time, because it's close to the Gulf, but just as important, it's still below sea level, things Molly just can't seem to get through her little skull. Even if the oh-so-precious wetlands were built back up, a hurricane's storm surge would probably just rush right over the low-lying areas to find ways to inundate New Orleans anyway. In the event of a hurricane taking dead aim at New Orleans, well,.....

#10 Leftwing logic at work - more than a century's interference with the natural flow of the Mississippi (by the Army Corps of engineers) is the root cause of the problem. Which means its Bush's fault cos Bush took his little ax and chopped $71.2 million from the budget of the New Orleans Corps of Engineers.
