Did the Bushies know what Katrina could do? The NWS certainly did.
And it released this fateful bulletin Sunday morning the 28th. Then again, the one entitled "bin Laden Determined to Strike Within U.S." appeared over a month before 9/11...

http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/August_28_2005_10:11_AM_CDT_NOAA_Bulletin

MOST OF THE AREA WILL BE UNINHABITABLE FOR WEEKS...PERHAPS LONGER. AT
LEAST ONE HALF OF WELL CONSTRUCTED HOMES WILL HAVE ROOF AND WALL
FAILURE. ALL GABLED ROOFS WILL FAIL...LEAVING THOSE HOMES SEVERELY
DAMAGED OR DESTROYED.

THE MAJORITY OF INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS WILL BECOME NON FUNCTIONAL.
PARTIAL TO COMPLETE WALL AND ROOF FAILURE IS EXPECTED. ALL WOOD
FRAMED LOW RISING APARTMENT BUILDINGS WILL BE DESTROYED. CONCRETE
BLOCK LOW RISE APARTMENTS WILL SUSTAIN MAJOR DAMAGE...INCLUDING SOME
WALL AND ROOF FAILURE....

POWER OUTAGES WILL LAST FOR WEEKS...AS MOST POWER POLES WILL BE DOWN
AND TRANSFORMERS DESTROYED. WATER SHORTAGES WILL MAKE HUMAN SUFFERING
INCREDIBLE BY MODERN STANDARDS.


There! Now why didn't Heckuva Job Brownie see that? 'Cause Santorectum told him the National Weather Service was a comunist plot? :grr: :banghead:

1. Not only did bush know what Katrina could do
but just about everyone else did too...........there was no lack ok knowledge.

Mass unfathomable incompetence on the local, state and federal levels.

No excuses for anyone of them

2. I think the real question is did * CARE what Katrina would do.
He would have to have a lombotomy to not know what Katrina would do.
