"I don't think anybody anticipated the breach of the levees."

What planet is this guy from? Talk about not getting the memo. You guessed it; it was "W" and the crack response team from the newly designed FEMA. This is O for two for the administration. First it was 9/11 and Condoleza Rice saying (I don't think anybody could have predicted that planes would be used as weapons to destroy property) Au contraire my fair lady it was oft reported/speculated that such a method was planned and known by intelligence for some time. Just like the Levees would be vulnerable in a category 4 or 5 hurricane. Of course this is the president who has his staff read the papers for him and report the events as they see them. I am not making this up those are George's words. We need the press to push for an independent commission to investigate Katrina. I do not believe the Bush administration is up to the task of self-analysis or self-criticism. After all George ll does not believe he ever made a mistake. Yes, Virginia this is the person who said, "I don't think anybody anticipated the breach of the levees." Think about it and don't let up on the call for an independent investigation. The investigation must be independent from the politicians and have its own investigators, budget and subpoena authority.You have the power to make changes: Raise your voice and be heard.
