NYTIMES - TODAY:
Clinton did bupkus for the levee system, and tragedy struck on Bush's watch. And Bush is cleaning up the mess.
SOUND FAMILIAR?! It should: Clinton did bupkus against jihadoterrorism, and tragedy struck on Bush's watch. And now, Bush is cleaning up the mess.
Clinton did bupkus as unscrupulous CEO's egged on an "irrationally exuberant" market, leading to "bubbles" - "BUBBA'S BUBBLES", I call them. And again, Bush has to clean up the mess.
BOTTOM-LINE: Clinton was the second worst president in the last century - only Carter - (on whose watch the USSR invaded Afghanistan, and Khomeini took over Iran, and Saddam took over Iraq) - was worse. (And don't forget the MISERY INDEX under Carter!)
In a sweeping new study of the causes of the disaster in New Orleans, the Army Corps of Engineers acknowledged today that the levees it built in the city were an incomplete and inconsistent patchwork of protection, containing flaws in design and construction, and not built to handle a hurricane anywhere near the size of Katrina.ASTUTE BLOGGER - 9/05:
"... from 1993-2000 the Clinton Adminstration refused to allow the Army Corps - or anyone else - to get the funding they needed to redo the levees and rebuild the marshes/bayous. ... Clinton ignored the dangers on this front as he did the dangers from jihadoterrorism.
ASTUTE BLOGGER - 10/05 (MSNBC):
"... the 1998 documents — filed as part of a legal dispute over costs — indicate the contractor complained about “weakness” of the soil and “the lack of structural integrity of the existing sheet pile around which the concrete was poured.” The ruling also referenced the “flimsiness” of the sheet piling. ... The construction company said as a result of these problems the walls were shifting and “out of tolerance,” meaning they did not meet some design specifications. Nevertheless, the Army Corps of Engineers accepted the work."
So, er um: the CANAL which broke was made badly DURING THE CLINTON ERA. Seems to me, that the Clinton Adminstration was asleep at the wheel on this - as they were on jihadoterrorism.EUROTA - compiled a detailed list, with hyperlinks, of the Clinton Adminstration's numerous failures regarding levees construction funding.
