Bush Cut Funding To New Orleans Flood Prevention Project To Help Pay For Iraq War!

So this mess:

New Orleans Doctors Plead for Help

One of the more shocking paragraphs:

"Hospitals are trying to evacuate," said Coast Guard Lt. Cmdr. Cheri Ben-Iesan, spokesman at the city emergency operations center. "At every one of them, there are reports that as the helicopters come in, people are shooting at them. There are people just taking pot shots at police and at helicopters, telling them, 'You better come get my family.'"

This could have been prevented if action had been taken to improve the levees and the previous two administrations support for restoring wetlands between New Orleans and the Gulf hadn't been killed by this adminitration. See what they did to New Orleans future:

"No One Can Say They Didn't See it Coming"

In 2001, FEMA warned that a hurricane striking New Orleans was one of the three most likely disasters in the U.S. But the Bush administration cut New Orleans flood control funding by 44 percent to pay for the Iraq war.

I'm so glad we have a president who's top priority is protecting the 'homeland'. Thanks for missing this one!
