"In dramatic and sometimes agonizing terms, federal disaster officials warned President Bush and his homeland security chief before Hurricane Katrina struck that the storm could breach levees, put lives at risk in New Orleans' Superdome and overwhelm rescuers, according to confidential video footage. Bush didn't ask a single question during the final briefing before Katrina struck on Aug. 29, but he assured soon-to-be-battered state officials: "We are fully prepared."George Bush said on Sept. 2, 2005 "I don't think anyone anticipated the breach of the levees" surrounding New Orleans...Newly released video footage obtained by The Associated Press clearly shows that not to be true. It was anticipated, and told directly to George Bush just five days earlier. George Bush did not cause Hurricane Katrina. He didn't build the levees around New Orleans either, but he was clearly warned of the catastrophic potential to New Orleans if those levees were breached and he flat out lied about it. This newly released footage leaves no doubt to that. The first reports of the levees being breached were late Sunday, August 28. So what did Dubya do on that Monday, August 29? He sang happy birthday to John McCain. And Tuesday August 30? George goofed around and played his new guitar. Nice guy. Man of action.....real in touch .. .. 'Compassionate conservative'.
