More proof Dubya is more skilled at Killing rather than Helping people.
Team 'w' can't even deliver on Katrina promises made just one year ago.
Many areas in New Orleans today, look like Baghdad and Lebanon today!
Bush Gov't fulfills few Katrina promises

Nearly half of New Orleans was still under water when
President Bush stood in the Crescent City's historic Jackson Square and swore he would "do what it takes" to rebuild the communities and lives that had been laid to waste two weeks before by Hurricane Katrina.
"Our goal is to get the work done quickly," the president said.
He promised to spend federal money wisely and accountably. And he vowed to address the poverty exposed by the government's inadequate Katrina response "with bold action."
A year after the storm, the federal government has proven slow and unreliable in keeping the president's promises.
"This is not something that is going to be able to be accomplished in 365 days," White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said. "The president has set the federal government on the course to fulfill its obligations."
The job of clearing debris left by the storm remains unfinished, and has been plagued by accusations of fraud and price gouging. Tens of thousands of families still live in trailers or mobile homes, with no indication of when or how they will be able to obtain permanent housing. Important decisions about rebuilding and improving flood defenses have been delayed. And little if anything has been done to ensure the welfare of the poor in a rebuilt New Orleans.
How has the government performed in the most critical areas of the recovery and reconstruction effort?
