Flat out lie. He was informed to the contrary and the lie was caught on tape.
You're just full of it!
Bush was informed - by the Civil Engineers - that a Category 5 MIGHT cause a hole in a levee and/or spill over one.
Note the word "MIGHT".
And Bush was correct in saying that nobody knew the levees WOULD break.
That's NOT what Bush said.
Quit rewriting history.
THIS is what he said...
"I don't think anybody anticipated the breach of the levees."

They said it was a possibility, so OBVIOUSLY it was anticipated...
It is a possibility that we're going to have a down-pour tonight in my city. But we aren't anticipating it.

Two totally different words and meanings.
