What I get is your refusal to recognize facts and now you are dodging the question again. It is not difficult, just a yes or no. Can you "get" that?

Are you saying the levees would not have failed if Bush had funded the USACE 100%

YES___
NO ___

How many editorials or anything can you present that supports your insinuation that the levees failed because Bush underfunded the USACE?

Show me something that says Bush thumbed his nose at a Repub controlled Congress in tellin' Congress that, in essence, it's none of their friggin' business if he wants to hire Donald Duck to run FEMA.

That is another example of your rhetoric to make up for the fact that you have no facts.

Yes I am aware that Katrina was a cat 3 storm. I have mentioned Katrina and I have mentioned cat 5 but I have never said Katrina was a cat 5. As I said before "Please point to where I said Katrina was a cat 5 storm Oh fact filled rancorous one?"

As to your claim that "I am finally coming 'round":

Hey Bobert:

I have never disputed any of your findings, only your conclusion.

Now see it you can avoid a rebuttal of this:

GOV. KATHLEEN BLANCO, LOUISIANA: 8/28/05 Thank you, Mayor.

I want to reiterate what the mayor has said. This is a very dangerous time. Just before we walked into this room, President Bush called and told me to share with all of you that he is very concerned about the citizens. He is concerned about the impact that this hurricane would have on our people. And he asked me to please ensure that there would be a mandatory evacuation of New Orleans.

The leaders at the highest ranks of our nation have recognized the destructive forces and the possible awesome danger that we are in. And I just want to say, we need to get as many people out as possible.


And still if the Democrats had not demanded the creation of DHS, FEMA would have been left alone.

"But Old Guy, The democrats didn't ask for Fema to be gutted"

I have asked Bobert if FEMA could have been made sister or brother to 22 other federal agencys and still remained as effective.

What was the answer?
