That is a false statement. The military have been the only really
effective force throughout this whole ordeal.

We were talking about the effort to strengthen the levees. The locals don't own
them, would not have been allowed to do anything to them, and tried their best
to get the Corps of Engineers to strengthen them. Trying to blame the city of NO
for the levee failure is insanity.
