BUSH ADMINISTRATION CUT FUNDING TO CORPS OF ENGINEERS

No surprise here for those who understand and are not blind to the crimes, lies and mismanagement of the criminal Bush regime: it cut funding to the US Corps of Engineers preventing them from commencing work on plans to extend and reinforce the levees around New Orleans.

This was revealed, not by the media (as far as I am aware) in all its hype over the New Orleans flood, but in a History Channel documentary screened today (Sunday, 16 October) in Sydney, Australia.

The Corps of Engineers already had plans to extend the levees but the Bush administration cutbacks prevented any work from commencing. This is almost too good to be true but no surprise considering the stupid Bush and the war criminals, international terrorists and megalomaniac aggressors that surround him. This can be added to all its other scandals: no action on AL Qaeda before 911; funding cutbacks to military benefits; not signing Kyoto protocol (which affects weather etc)...and so on. The list is too long to list and my memory fails me as I write. I'm sure you can add to this long list of sordid Bush scandals.

UPDATE, 18/10/2005: I guess its all been said before. In case you missed it, see Noam Chomsky's documentation of the Bush regime's utter failure:

Bush funding cuts in 2004 compelled the Army Corps of Engineers to reduce flood-control work sharply, including badly needed strengthening of the levees that protected New Orleans. Bush’s 2005 budget called for another serious reduction — a speciality of Bush-administration timing, much like the proposed sharp cut in security for public transportation right before the London bombings in July 2005.
