BushCo-Ignored Its Own Gulf Coast Hurricane Plan-Never Implemented Due To Incompetence
BushCo Never Implemented the “Southeast Louisiana Catastrophic Hurricane Plan”
Posted by Ginny Cotts
June 27th, 2007

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) released a report today on the 7,500 records they forced the DHS to turn over in a FOIA request and subsequent lawsuit. Will anyone be surprised to learn this is the same song, new verse, on the amazing incompetence of business folks trying to run government?

The Best Laid Plans: The Story of How the Government Ignored Its Own Gulf Coast Hurricane Plan http://www.citizensforethics.org/files/Katrina%20DHS%20Report.pdf (or go here for the executive summary. http://www.citizensforethics.org/files/Katrina%20DHS%20Exec%20Summary.pdf) Seriously, there was a “Southeast Louisiana Catastrophic Hurricane Plan” (SLCHP), which was not initiated when Katrina started heading to that part of the coast.

You want to know why?

On August 28, 2005, the day before Katrina hit, FEMA Deputy Director Patrick Rhode sent an email to Deputy Chief of Staff Brooks Altshuler and Michael Heath, Special Assistant to FEMA Director Michael Brown, with the subject line, “copy of New Orleans cat plan” stating, “I never got one – I think Brown got my copy – did you get one?”

1. Let me be the first to say IT isn't incompetence
They make IT look that way so they can feign ignorance. However, I believe they are acting according to plan.

If you will remember Mad king Boy George stated they were bring chaos to Iraq. And they have done just that according to their plan.

Same thing with Katrina. They wanted the hurricane to destroy the gulf coast. Their cronies reaped millions in contracts AFTER the storm did what they couldn't do, misplace thousands of black voters.

Ah well, it's just a matter of time....
