Many are still not aware that Katrina hit landfall as a Cat. 3 storm and it was the failure of the Army Corps of Engineers' levees that led to most of the death and destruction in the City of New Orleans. Many are still not aware that days after Katrina Bush said, "no one could have foreseen the breach of the levees", yet 6 months later a video and transcripts surfaced showing Bush being warned by the Head of the National Hurricane Center, Gov. Blanco, the Head of FEMA, and Nagin that this storm would likely be devastating and the levees likely breached. Bush asked no questions and told them that everything would be taken care of. He was thus caught in two bold-faced lies. Many people don't like to hear the truth.
