Prior to 911, the Federal Emergency Management Agency warned that New Orleans was a disaster waiting to happen. Congress authorized the Southeast Louisiana Urban Flood Control Project (SELA) in order to protect the strategic port, the refineries, and the large population.

However, after 2003 the flow of funds to SELA were diverted to the war in Iraq. During 2004 and 2005 the New Orleans Times-Picayune published nine articles citing New Orleans’ loss of hurricane protection to the war in Iraq.

Every expert and newspapers as distant as Texas saw the New Orleans catastrophe coming. But President Bush and his insane government preferred war in Iraq to protecting Americans at home.

Bush’s war left the Corps of Engineers only 20% of the funding to protect New Orleans from flooding from Lake Pontchartrain. On June 18, 2004, the Corps’ project manager, Al Naomi, told the Times-Picayune: "the levees are sinking. If we don’t get the money to raise them, we can’t stay ahead of the settlement."

And when you read this guy's bio, it becomes all the more powerful an indictment....

3. Thank you so much - this article should not be overlooked

A paragraph near the end of the article.

"The Bush administration is damned by its gross incompetence. Bush has squandered the lives and health of thousands of people. He has run through hundreds of billions of borrowed dollars. He has lost America’s reputation and its allies. With barbaric torture and destruction of our civil liberty, he has stripped America of its inherent goodness and morality. And now Bush has lost America’s largest port and 25 percent of its oil supply. Why? Because Bush started a gratuitous war egged on by a claque of crazy neoconservatives who have sacrificed America’s interests to their insane agenda."

6. Roberts is a Republican Congressman from Texas. Forward to other GOP Reps!

C'mon, DUers. This is our best opportunity to get rid of Bush and his evil cronies once and for all. Forward this to all of your friends and urge everyone to send it to their Congressional representatives, regardless of party, and urge that Bush be impeached NOW!

The safety of us all is at stake, along with America's reputation.
To stand by and leave him in power after the criminal neglect of New Orlean's dying population would imply silent consent by our leaders in Congress.

7. Not a congressman, I think

His bio. But he is (was?) a Republican - served in the Treasury under Reagan. 'Libertarian' might be more accurate - with close ties to the Cato Institute.

8. Any major columnist called for Bush's impeachment yet or for

him to resign.

10. I'd call Dr. Roberts a major columnist

He's also respect for his intellectual prowess, which is a rare thing among conservatives.

9. Dr. Roberts is an actual conservative

He used to merit having his articles read by G. Gordon Looney. Then he started breaking with the orthodoxy against the Bush worship movement and well, now he's an apostate.

11. This is a Roberts Classic!!! I've posted it elsewhere. It's a treasure

He sounds like a really smart, incredibly pissed of DUer all the time.

He'd probably get shit here (form some) for being so extreme.

He is the angriest guy in America, almost, about Bush. His column on the inauguration will be used by historians.
