As Nagin left bus lot after bus lot packed full.
Look it was a horrible situation, one that I can't comprehend, but why isn't more blame placed on the local officials?

In Spike Lee's documentary Brown says he smirked when Bush said that to him basically, because he wasn't even able to get the stuff done that he had asked for. Supposedly Donald Rumsfeld is the reason.

All of this could have been avoided if Congress would have passed a bill and listed to the expert testimony when Clinton was President. They said a major hurricane was going to hit there and it would be a disaster unless the levee's were fixed. It was like $7 billion to fix it I believe.

It appears that they are building a huge levy, but I'm not sure if that's in the same place as the old ones or not. The last I heard the levee's were temporarily fixed but leaning. Then on Spike Lee's documentary they show them building a huge levee.

Forget "Was"
