So if we use your logic ....so that when San Fancisco experiences the big 10.5 + quake and gets wiped out, then we all should erase it off the map sence they were all so foolish to build on a fault zone

they may not have known it was a fault line in the begining so the first city built you can't blame anyone. they just didnt know. but then to get wiped out and rebuild, get wiped out and rebuild, get wiped out and rebuild, get wiped out and rebuild.

dosent that seem kind of dumb??? maybe its just me.......and they cry because they lost their house.... duh you live on a fault line...HELLO

at least new orleans could possibly stabalize itself if the proper amount of money was spent on the leveys.... they require much much larger leveys then are in place today. and they shouldnt allow people to live their untill these leveys are built. which would cost an astranomical amount of money, and is why it hasent been done.

it takes satellite immagery to see if something is swampland????
sorry but swampland is about the easiest type of land to identify... you just go out and walk on it.

Its really a shame, it's not just this Rep adm, but it's the Dem adm also along with Aemricans just not careing about each other and our country as we once did. If things were different, we the people would get New Orleans fixed, solve our energy crisis, build refineries, build nuke plants,utilize ethaonal and hybrid sources,fix health care, fix social security. What is it going to take to wake up "we the people" Mean while greed and corupt are winning

first, the Corp of Eng are the overseers and also issued the dredging permits to have the 17th Street canal dredged( cleaned out an deepened)2 to 4 feet below the steel sheet piles that reinforced the leeves which caused the water to find the path of least resistance causing the breach a day after the storm passed

anopinion1: they are idiots for building a city in swampland in the first place.

I'm sure that a few hundred years ago, they checked the satellite imagery, and decided this was the best place to build the city.
Why and where they built this city is not the problem here. THIS IS MORE OF THE SAME, GROSSLY INCOMPETENT, QUESTIONABLE, TOTAL BLUNDERS, LIES, ILLEGAL ACTS BY THE DOJ, (DEPT. OF INJUSTICE)AND THIS ADMINISTRATION FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. MAYBE THEY COULD BUILD A FENCE AROUND THE BIG EASY, AND MOVE ALL THE PEOPLE TO A CITY NEAR YOU. SEND THEM YOUR ADDRESS SO THEY WILL BE SURE TO MOVE TO THE RIGHT PLACE.

"The pumps came from Moving Water Industries, owned by J. David Eller - a former business partner of Jeb Bush and a major GOP contributor - and his sons."

This explains it all. You'd think one of the Bush's could do at least one thing right. Unfortunately that is not true :(

The Bush family should hang their heads in shame.

Where did all the $ go that was appropriated for these levees to be fixed?
