Chertoff Lying Bush Minion: No Scenario for Katrina

CNN: Defending the US govt's response to Katrina, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff argued that govt planners did not predict such a disaster ever could occur. Oh really? Then why does the DHS's own "Homeland Security Planning Scenarios - Scenario 10: Natural Disaster - Major Hurricane" clearly and explicitly show this is exactly what they expected to happen!? And DHS states it is supposed to be the 1st to respond to ANY nat'l disaster/ attack. I think we'd have more luck if my toddler did the planning. Even in the evacuation announcement that Mayor Nagin of N.O. gave, the risks were made clear on 8/28: "That's why we are taking this unprecedented move (evacuation)." (at a news conference that was broadcast live) "The storm surge most likely will topple our levee system." Psst, someone had better tell Bush, b/c he told Diane Sawyer that NOBODY knew the levees would be breached. The blind leading the blind. Fuck ups putting other fuckups in positions of great power = US citizens' lives compromised and screwed, and as Jefferson Parish President Aaron Broussard heartbreakingly tells it to Tim Russert on Meet the Press: "We've been abandoned by our own country." To Russert's credit, he did rip into Chertoff w/some damning questions. But Chertoff, like his evil master Bush, spews his lies and BLAMES the victims. Typical conservative compassion.
