... that they preferred to plug it with something more "temporary".

Shit what do these people think about. Plug the fucking leack as fast as you possibily can asshole. Run that fucking barge aground and then blow a hole in the lakeside. Then fill the fucker with as many bags of concrete as you can find.

When it comes time to repair the levee, just build a coffer damn around the barge or permanently encase it in concrete.

Comandeer a vessel if you have to and pay the guy off. The US Government fritters away 10s of billions of dollars in Iraq with nary any acounting. But they can't bare to spend a couple thousand dollars in the US to prevent 10s of billions of dollars in damage.

The Bush administration WANTED this disaster. They WANTED gas prices to go sky high because the oil companies will reap a windfall from the supplies they already have.
