Reply #6: They also now know why those levees failed

[Warpy]

The canals had been dredged not too long ago, and the deep dredging undermined the earthworks base, leaving nothing but a thin concrete shell between the Ninth Ward and total disaster.

It seems now that it didn't even need a hurricane. Doing a quick, cheap, stopgap job because Federal dollars had been squandered on war instead of on infrastructure doomed the city.

We have to get promilitary, anti American conservatives from both parties out of government. We can't survive them much longer.
