I think Bush and others should have seen and known ahead of time that when the talk is of "utter destruction" or "Pumps are very likely to fail and New Orleans will go underwater very easily" that you prepare troops and tell everyone the US Gov't is here and ready to help once the worst has passed.

Instead, it seems like "hmm, a hurricane...ok" *1 day after it hits* hmm, there seems to be alot of damage and flooding. Well...lets wait until the media points the finger at us to do anything.

I seriously predict that once the media lessens the coverage of the desturction/people looting, they will find out why New Orleans became a hell hole of water. The blame will be placed on the government and other people for not suppying enough funding to ensure pumps won't fail as badly as they did. Granted, Katrina is "almost one of a kind" so it was had to prepare for something you don't know if it will occur but expect alot of finger pointing for the failure of levee's and pumps with funding to improve them
