The Path to Destruction: Two Years After Katrina, Cleanup and Recovery Far From Complete

Today marks the second anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. The storm ravaged the Gulf coast of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama and left over 1,600 people dead. More than 300,000 homes were destroyed and over 770,000 people displaced. It was the most powerful and expensive natural disaster to hit the country and one of the deadliest hurricanes recorded in US history. We speak with Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter, John McQuaid.

Bush is giving lip service and still in that Twilight Zone when talking about Katrina. I saw the pictures yesterday. Most of the money went to GOP friends. Bush is again lying to Americans as if we're stupid and can't see that nothing is done. But I did notice he has given Iraq over 1 Trillion dollars and still asking for more.

Yes, and all the money wasted in Iraq could have rebuilt New Orleans, and made life better for the tax paying citizens in New Orleans.
