Makes sense, doesn't it?

Nagin, Blanco, Landrieu, and other various Lib crazies have been running around blaming the President, the federal government, and the Army Corps of Engineers for the flooding of New Orleans, saying the levees were not build strong enough, they hadn't been given the money, etc., whine, etc., whine, etc., whine.

Here is the truth:

AP: Engineers: New Cause of New Orleans Flood---

NEW ORLEANS - Much of the city flooded not because water rushed over the tops of levees, but because two of the storm barriers that ring New Orleans actually shifted and then collapsed, a team of independent engineers said Friday.

The independent engineers said the shifting of the barriers was understandable and did not assign blame or speculate about design flaws that the storm surge from Hurricane Katrina may have exposed.

"Levees tend to be built in very difficult situations on poor site conditions because you're essentially turning marshy land into land you can stabilize and do things on," said civil engineering professor Raymond Seed, who led a team from the University of California at Berkeley.

Seed said the problems likely stemmed from different types of soil that make it difficult to build levees of consistent strength. The technology exists to compensate for such weaknesses if taxpayers are willing to absorb the cost, he added.

"The cost of a significantly stronger system would have been much smaller than current damage. The problem is, the current damage wasn't a sure bet," Seed said. "If it's a long-shot bet, it's very hard to get money spent up front. And so the American way is sort of take your chances."

Makes sense, doesn't it? What else would you expect if you build things on swampland, below sea level?

If New Orleans wants to be safe, then New Orleans better do it herself. Otherwise, New Orleans ought to move.
