Not really news as the truth did come out following the event but Fox News now has video footage that shows President Bush was warned of the potential impact of Hurricane Katrina.
In dramatic and sometimes agonizing terms, federal disaster officials warned President Bush and his homeland security chief before Hurricane Katrina struck that the storm could breach levees, put lives at risk in New Orleans’ Superdome and overwhelm rescuers, according to confidential video footage.
Bush didn’t ask a single question during the final briefing before Katrina struck on Aug. 29, but he assured soon-to-be-battered state officials: “We are fully prepared.”
The possibility that the levees might be ‘topped’ was a grave concern at the meeting and yet the President was to state categorically after the hurricane had hit New Orleans that no one could have predicted that the levees would be breached.
