Mayor Nagin "Disgusted" by 2nd Katrina Video |

Mayor Nagin ‘Disgusted’ by 2nd Katrina Video
by Scott Ott
(2006-03-02) — Just hours after the Associated Press (AP) ‘shocked‘ New
Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin yesterday by showing him video of a FEMA
briefing during Hurricane Katrina in which government officials
speculate about the impact of the expected Category 5 storm, the AP has
shown the mayor a second “alarming and disgusting” video.
The first video shows President George Bush, Homeland Security Director
Michael Chertoff and then-FEMA Director Michael Brown, among others,
dealing with how to respond to the developing disaster, and what to make
of inconsistent reports from New Orleans about the condition of the Lake
Pontchatrain levees.
The second video, shot by a parking lot security camera several days
earlier, shows row upon row of yellow school buses, sitting idle on a
day when thousands of local residents remained in the path of the storm.
“Someone at the White House should have given the order to use those
school buses to evacuate the city before Katrina hit,” said the Mayor,
who is the top local government official in New Orleans. “It makes me
ill to think that the federal government failed to intervene to save
these people. George Bush had plenty of time, and he did nothing.”
Mr. Nagin, who is the Mayor of New Orleans, noted that local residents
“did just what we have trained them to do in a disaster. They watched
the hurricane coverage on CNN and waited for a federal official to knock
on the door and rescue them.”
“They followed their training,” said Mr. Nagin, the Mayor of New
Orleans, “but the knock never came. They were helpless, utterly
helpless.”
In May 2002, Ray Nagin was elected Mayor of New Orleans, a city which
sits below sea level, between the Gulf of Mexico and a large lake.
White House spokesman Scott McClellan today said, “One can always argue
after the fact about whether President Bush should have intervened more
forcefully to protect New Orleans from this grave threat, but Ray Nagin
is the lawfully elected mayor, and whether he remains in office is up to
the people of New Orleans, not to the president.”

"There are security precautions that were taken... One of those was not
informing you of the trip until now," McClellan told reporters.

On September 1, 2005, Bush said "I don't think anyone anticipated the
breach of the levees". On September 4, 2006, Homeland Insecurity
Secretary Michael Chertoff agreed with that statement.
CNN is now in the possession of a transcript from video conferences on
August 28 and August 29 in which Bush and Chertoff are briefed that the
levees may be breached.
transcripts from video conferences on August 28 and 29 show that
National Hurricane Center Director Max Mayfield expressed concern that
Katrina might push its storm surge over the city's levees and flood
walls.
"I don't think anyone can tell you with confidence right now whether
the levees will be topped or not, but that's obviously a very, very
great concern,"
Other interesting bits from the video conference
Brown praises Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco and others for "doing a
good job". As we all remember, Brown and the White House later blamed
all the problems on Blanco and others.

And can you believe that 34 percent of the American population is so
unpatriotic as to still supports this liar.
