Katrina and 9/11

President Bush may be one of the most incompetent presidents in U.S. history. He ignored warnings of two of the most dire threats to the nation and we were hit with two of the biggest catastrophes in history.

The video obtained by The Associated Press, along with transcripts of six days of meetings, shows Bush was told of possible levee breaches, impending disaster for evacuees at the New Orleans Superdome and other "grave concerns" about the approaching storm, which experts warned was the "Big One."" - W Knew Kat was 'big one' Vid debunks Prez denial BY BILL HUTCHINSON DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER
