Just a snip, 'cuz:

The United States Congress also has an important oversight function to perform. Congress is preparing an investigation, and I will work with members of both parties to make sure this effort is thorough.

1. is this 'opportunity knocks' card Bu$hCo wanted?
"Yet the system, at every level of government, was not well coordinated, and was overwhelmed in the first few days. It is now clear that a challenge on this scale requires greater federal authority and a broader role for the armed forces -- the institution of our government most capable of massive logistical operations on a moment's notice."

So, is this the pre-emptive conclusion of the "Congress is preparing an investigation, and I will work with members of both parties to make sure this effort is thorough."

if so, where will that take us?

2. Along this coast, for mile after mile, the wind and water... WTF?
"Along this coast, for mile after mile, the wind and water swept the land clean"

Is that a reference to The Great Flood of the bible, or a racist remark?

Anyway, There is nothing clean about NOLA, what with all the debris and toxic sludge.
