Clift: Bush's colossal failure to lead and denial...

[Imagevision]

Bush’s comment that nobody thought the levees in New Orleans would break is false, and he will regret those words just as Condoleezza Rice did her comment that nobody could imagine a plane flying into a building like a missile.

Local authorities and the Corps of Engineers had war-gamed hurricane scenarios and issued repeated warnings about the vulnerability of the levees. Their pleas were turned down and funding cut instead.

Now the money will flow. Congressional leaders rushed back to Washington early to pass legislation to free up $10 billion for hurricane relief, a mere down payment on what it will cost to rebuild the stricken areas.

Instead of declaring a national emergency and deploying the military from all those nearby Texas bases, Bush deployed his father and President Clinton for a photo op at the White House as a prelude to a fund-raising tour.

1. These crooks own the media and

people refuse to think. They believe what the media tells them.

How can one combat the BS?

2. Penny wise and pound foolish...........

is what my Grandfather used to say when I was a kid. I never understood what he meant by that until many years later. It certainly applies to the bush cabal.
