still more proof of bush's incompetence and uncaring

Video Shows Bush Warned Before Katrina Hit
WASHINGTON - On the eve of Hurricane Katrina's fateful landfall, President Bush was confident. His homeland security chief appeared relaxed. And warnings of the coming destruction — breached or overrun levees, deaths at the New Orleans Superdome and overwhelming needs for post-storm rescues — were delivered in dramatic terms to all involved. All of it was captured on videotape.

The president didn't ask a single question during the briefing but assured soon-to-be-battered state officials: "We are fully prepared."

The White House and Homeland Security Department urged the public Wednesday not to read too much into the footage.

Homeland Security officials have said the "fog of war" blinded them early on to the magnitude of the disaster. But the video and transcripts show federal and local officials discussed threats clearly, reviewed long-made plans and understood Katrina would wreak devastation of historic proportions. "I'm sure it will be the top 10 or 15 when all is said and done," National Hurricane Center's Max Mayfield warned the day Katrina lashed the Gulf Coast

Bush declared four days after the storm, "I don't think anybody anticipated the breach of the levees" that gushed deadly flood waters into New Orleans. He later clarified, saying officials believed, wrongly, after the storm passed that the levees had survived. But the transcripts and video show there was plenty of talk about that possibility even before the storm — and Bush was worried too.

So, once again, we have proof that bush lied through his teeth to us and, once again, people died because of it. And he continued his vacation as he knew that people were dying because of his uncaring and his lack of planning.
How does this slimeball still have his job? How is it that no one has stormed the gates of the White House and tarred and feather this scumbag and run him out of our country?
Has their ever been a president that was so callous with our citizens?!
