Preventative Hurricane System “Stronger And More Resilient” Than Ever
Brigadier General Michael Walsh, Commander of the Mississippi Valley Division of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, says the Corps has completed more than one-third of the construction for improvements in the greater New Orleans area following the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Walsh says “the system is stronger and more resilient than prior to Katrina or any other time in history”. (0:40)

Y’all can watch the hearings here: http://epw.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=Hearings.Hearing&Hearing_id=c7026be1-802a-23ad-4fa3-4c8ed0b6d074 which is from the Gov’s own website –our tax dollars at woik!
Everyone should watch this, particularly the General’s Eyes. He couldn’t bluff his way out of a game of Go Fish! HA!
Senator Vitter really drove home Ray’s point of Reality, to wit: the Corps’ flooded New Orleans and killed 1000s of American Citizens because their own structures Failed due to Bad Engineering –so why is the Corps opting for More Bad Engineering? Why hasn’t the Corps come up with a plan? Why are they playing 3 Card Monte with our Flood Protection? Both Louisiana Senators, the full Committee, the panel of Local Experts, and anyone watching asks that same Question of the Corps: “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, General?”
And the General replies: “Lemme have our Lawyers get back to you, Senator Mam.”
