Bush on the re-evacuation of New Orleans -
'"Listen, I went there and stood in Jackson Square to say we want this city to re-emerge. As I said, I can't imagine America without a vibrant New Orleans. It's just a matter of timing, and there's issues to be dealt with.
If it were to rain a lot, there is concern from the Army Corps of Engineers that the levees might break. And so therefore, we're cautious about encouraging people to return at this moment of history."'

Oh, the levees wouldn't break during a category four storm, but with a bit of extra rain they could? And what the frig is he on about saying he went there? He went there two and a half weeks after the freaking storm hit, when all the people in the city were either military or dead. Oh, he gave a speech, woopdy fucking hoo...
Grr. I better go and take my calming, liberal hippy pills now, before I get my next fix of Katrina news.
