“the effects of Hurricane Katrina”
Is that what he calls it? Some would call it complete devastation to an American city from flooding from the collapse of engineering structures at conditions way way below their design criteria because of foundation failures due to many simple engineering mistakes and bad USACE policies in regard to levee engineering and bad decisions by USACE managers and leaders. We paid our cost share for these bad structures that failed us so miserably.

Thanks Ray.
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.”
