is bush at fault? Options

[*tweeak*]

to begin with, i'd like to point out that I do not support Bush. However, I cannot understand why people are blaming him for Katrina, just because he has troops in Iraq. It seems like a lame excuse to protest the war and find a scapegoat for the hurricane

so, do you think Bush is at fault for part of the Katrina ordeal?

I was watching something on the weather channel that said the were prepering for a level 5 hurricane. And in fact what his new orleans was NOT a level 5. It was a strong 3. If it had been a level 5, new orleans would be literally gone. There would not be that many survivors. That hurricane weakened way more than any one expected it would before it hit New Orleans. The reason it is flooded is because the levy broke. they were already expecting the worst case secnario. There was very little they could do with such little preparation however. If they had known 20 years ago this hurricane was coming, and know exactly when, then they would have been more prepared. But a little over a week doesn't give you much time. It just comes down to the fact that weather is unpredicable. But y'all need to understand that the destrcution is not because of the strength of the hurricane, its because the levys broke. If you look at some of the footage, there is a whole side of New Orleans thats survived the hurricane with no flood damage, but thats on the other side of where the levy broke. It was a bunch of bad things happening all at once.
