Who Will They Blame For Katrina 2?
by Brent Budowsky | Jun 4 2007

While New Orleans fights back as the new Comeback Kid, the levees and pumps are dangerously behind where they need to be.

The Corps of Engineers makes excuses.

The grave danger lurks, before the eyes of a Nation that too often lacks the can-do spirit.

In other areas of the Gulf Coast and the Southeast, disaster plans are behind the times, emergency preparations are not what they should be.

The grave danger lurks, unattended, while the politicians give their speeches, too often unprepared.

In Katrina 1 good people lost their lives because they were too poor, too young, too elderly, too handicapped to care for themselves and those who should have cared for them, did not.

The weather forecasters predict a dangerous hurricane season, yet those who should know better have eyes that do not see and ears that do not hear.

Grave danger lurks.

We pray it does not strike.

But if it does, who will they blame the next time?
