Still finding bodies. From the NY Times of 11 Apr 2006:
Quote:
In Attics and Rubble, More Bodies and Questions
A landlord in the Lakeview section put a "for sale" sign outside a house, unaware that his tenant's body was in the attic. Two weeks ago, searchers in the Lower Ninth Ward found a girl, believed to be about 6, wearing a blue backpack. Nearby, they found part of a man who the authorities believe might have been trying to save her.

I remember George Jr standing on ocean front property while promising that Trent Lott's house would be rebuilt. Meanwhile:
Quote:
"Because we haven't found our deceased. Being honest with you, in my opinion, they forgot about us."
She continued, "They did not build nothing on 9/11 until they were sure that the damn dust was not human dust; so how you go on and build things in our city?"
In October and November, the special operations team of the New Orleans Fire Department searched the Lower Ninth Ward for remains until they ran out of overtime money.
Half a dozen officials of the Federal Emergency Management Agency rebuffed requests to pay the bill, said Chief Steve Glynn, the team commander. When reporters inquired, FEMA officials said the required paperwork had not been filed.

Heard in a recent game of Password: "Incompetence." "George Bush Jr."
What did George Jr do in his first term when his popularity fell? Issue another Orange Alert. Well that does not work anymore. Better nuke another nation. War always increases the president's popularity ... and stops people from talking about New Orleans.
A competent man, having made so many gross mistakes during Katrina, would go out of his way to make sure no more fubars come from New Orleans. FEMA does not have the paper work? One decree from the president would solve that in 30 seconds. They are still looking for bodies that even remain where they died - 8 months ago. Only an incompetent (religiously selected politician) leader would let this continue – dead bodies unrecovered for eight plus months because of paper work. And again 85% of all problems are directly traceable to top management. They cannot recover bodies for eight months due to paper work? More bull.
George Jr's concern ended with a promise to rebuild Trent Lott's ocean front house. No problem. Fix his popularity by nuking Iran. Don't fool yourself for one minute. That is why the administration's number one guy on New Orleans after 'Brownie' was recalled to Washington was ... Karl Rove. It was a popularity problem - recovering bodies still is only secondary.
