While the stupidity of the Bush Administratioin is something to be marvelled at, it is unsporting to blame them for this one -- numerous reports have pointed out that none of the moneys not allocated were to go to the levees that broke. It is probably more worth pointing out the long-term lunacy of draining the wetlands and refusing to accept the Mississippi's version of where it wants to go..... but the Army Corps of Engineers, which should have been disbanded a long time ago, seems to have its hands full at the moment dealing with a problem they helped create.
