Is that a fact? I have a question. From news footage I have seen, there is a barge inside the levee that looks to be just about the size of the hole in the levee. If the barge broke the levee, what do helicopters have to do with that? And is it possible that the levee failed because the NO Levee Commission used levee money in the past to buy a casino boat and an airplane? And where should these helicopters be kept in a Cat 4 hurricane? In Nagin had his way, they would be underwater with the busses. |

WTF
At least one levee failed because a loose barge hit it and I seriously doubt there were any heavy lift helicopters flying when the levees failed as all were flown out of harms way before the storm. |

Um... The levee failed because of the lack of heavy airlift choppers eh?
Well, I guess then that wildfires in the west are caused by the lack of firefighting equipment. |

General Discussion.
There has been a catastropic loss of life and money. Why does discussing it in a way that may implicate the decision making of Neocons make me a troll? I'm life NRA, honorably discharged USA. The discussion of the possible truth of the loss of New Orleans should only make me a troll in the Republican National Committee/Neocon Room. If you watched the coverage live, the reporters noted the slow rate of helicopter drops and the relatively small size of the bags being dropped. Blackhawks aren't heavy lift. |

There were actually two grain barges that slammed in to the levee and broke it. There was a guy they interviewed early on that watched it happen from his front window.
As for why they didn't upgrade or fix the levees, ask the Sierra Club and the local "Save the Wetlands" groups. They have sucessfully sued and halted any and all upgrades of the levees and tidal surge gates on Lake Pontchartrain. They proudly claim to have saved valuable wetlands and forests from destruction. |

Well that actually makes more sense that this helicopter BS. All helicopters were grounded until well after the storm passed due to high winds and any heavy lift helicopters would have been flown out of the danger area and not available at the time. And it appears at least 2 of the levee failures were not know about for several hours. Not that helicopters could have helped but to even try one would also need a time machine. This kind of crazy shit is a sign of pure desperation… the mud the left/Democrats have been slinging has not suck and they are reaching for anything ever if it is beyond reason. |

So's John Kerry. Please distinguish yourself by good reasoning and "the school bus fiasco" is not reasoning, it's just an exclamatory phrase. Buses would have saved lives, if they were there and if people would have taken them. Levees are mostly to protect property. BTW there wasn't ONE mention of New Orleans, levees, sandbags, a flood or Hurricane Katrina in that article. You made everything up. There's a job waiting for you at the NY Times or CBS News. CNN's full. |

No, the levee failed due to poor maintenance by the city and state. When the water is rising is not the time to start tryng to fix it. A lack of helicopters did not cause the failure. Anyone who can use a basic logical thought process can understand that.... but since you tossed the word "neocon" in we see you have no grasp of logic or common sense anyway. The city of NO had a Levee Board that was responsible for building and maintaining levees, look at the for the reason it failed. |

Hmmmm.....
New Orleans has been controlled by the left for what, 60 years? Wonder why the levees didn't hold? Could it be that hundreds of millions of federal dollars sent to NO for levee improvements were instead allocated by the levee commission to buy a casino, a marina, and a corporate jet instead of actually being used to improve the levee network? Nah, it's Bush's fault. Right? For the love of Christ try google while you still have a shred of dignity. You should be embarrassed for posting this tripe. |

Where did the Levee money get spent? Look at the New Orleans Levee Board and its finances. Thier only job is to mainatin the Levees to stop things like this. They bought a casino. They flew board members and thier families all over on Levee money. They spend money on everything but levee maintenace. It is run by Democrats of course. Blaming Bush and a "helicopter shortage" for the levee break is like blaming you engine blowing on the tow truck company who was out on other calls..... when in fact you had not changed your oil in 30,000 miles. You have no grasp of common sense or logic. Typical democrat. |
