This really smells of another governmental/military bottomless money pit for
corporate america to profit and nothing or just a ‘trickle’ will go to those
deservingly and really in need of such an opportunity to recovery something from
w & dick’s corporate nepotistic venture or failure.

One thing is, how much has ‘big business’ bought or come to possess since
katrina opened the monetary flood gates just in time for another treat for friends?

Afther Katarine had past New Orleans with all the problems as seen, the Dutch governement was willing to help and repar and build up all this wather problems.

We are a small country with an ageold fight with wather.

More as half of our country is lying between 3 and 4 meter under sea level, but we keep afload with our knowhow, and we are happy enough to help our friends the American people, they just have to ask.

Highlight from the article that you have to follow the link to see ....

““It is the court’s opinion that the negligence of the corps, in this instance by failing to maintain the MR-GO properly, was not policy, but insouciance, myopia, and shortsightedness,” he wrote.

During testimony this summer, veteran Louisiana geologist Sherwood Gagliano, a former Corps consultant, testified that the Corps’ failure to stop the natural widening of the canal caused it to eventually bump up against the shore of Lake Borgne, on the city’s east side.

During the hurricane, that breach allowed waves on Lake Borgne to enter the Mr. Go and travel into the east side of the city, battering the levees to a degree to which they were not designed.
...

“One of the greatest catastrophes in the history of the US” was both predictable and preventable, Mr. Gagliano testified.”

Of course, what the article won’t tell you is that at least some of the Corps of Engineers maintenance money was being diverted to pay for the war in Iraq.  Don’t know if this specific case had that happen or not.  But, we have a judge that just ruled that the neglect, for whatever the cause, is responsible for killing American citizens at home in New Orleans.

At the very least, shouldn’t we be spending money rebuilding levees, maintaining canals, repairing and maintaining bridges and tunnels ... basically all the work we need to be doing for this crumbling nation at home.  This would provide badly needed jobs for Americans, and help make us all safer and more secure.  It would do a better job of making us safer and secure than us having 200,000+ troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
