You know, I just watched the video... And it's pretty clear that what Bush says on the video and what he says to the news camera less than a week later are blatantly contradictory.
On the briefing video, he talks directly to people at the state level... Federal resources are here. We're mobilizing every resource we've got to help you out, both now and after the storm has passed. Advisors are VERY clear with him that topping/breaching levees are a significant concern.
And then, four days after the storm, he looks square into the news camera... and covers his own sorry ass. "Oh, well, we couldn't have known!" First off, as if that was an excuse--over 1000 people died on your watch, bubba, now your job is to be accountable for that. Second, it's a flat-out LIE.
I apologize if this is offensive to anyone, but I'm offended that our leader would behave like that in a matter this serious.
