Chertoff just ended another ridiculous press conference. Thankfully, he's facing some tough questions. Here's where Chertoff unconsciously admits they are on trial in front of the American people and being found guilty of incompetence and indifference. Chertoff insists New Orleans suffered two natural disasters -- the hurricane and the levee breaking -- and that NO ONE could have ever anticipated both occurring at once, which is absurd. A reporter asked him why he couldn't have anticipated both and Chertoff just responded:
That's the kind of question which in court the judge usually sustains the objection to. It's called argumentative. But nevertheless...you know... if we had an atomic bomb on top of this...and we could pile on catastrophes...whenever you do a planning process, you have to deal with what is reasonably foreseeable. It is true that you can sometimes have a combination of things that are reasonably foreseeable but that combination is unforeseeable.Huh? He is out of his mind. An atomic bomb? Chertoff is comparing preparing for a category 4 hurricane and a levee break caused by that hurricane to preparing for the absurd situation of a hurricane AND an atomic bomb being set off. What an insanely ridiculous comparison.
We've seen their own mock games looking at what would happen and EVERYTHING that occurred has been foreseen. Chertoff is lying to the American people when he says a hurricane overwhelming a levee and causing it to break hasn't been foreseen.
