Bush incompetence, if you need more evidence

Tape: Bush, Chertoff Warned Before Katrina

It's on tape, folks.

By MARGARET EBRAHIM and JOHN SOLOMON, Associated Press Writers

WASHINGTON - 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."

....

Bush declared four days after the storm, "I don't think anybody
anticipated the breach of the levees" that gushed deadly flood waters
into New Orleans. But the transcripts and video show there was plenty of
talk about that possibility — and Bush was worried too.

BTW, Michael "Good Job" Brown comes off pretty good in the tape. It
appears that he was the fall guy.
