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. | anticipate: to give advance thought, discussion, or treatment to http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/anticipate
Making up your own definitions to words doesn't count...
They talked about it.
It WAS anticipated. |
