Think They'll Try for Breaching vs Overtopping
If you haven't seen the video of Bush being warned about the danger of the levees being topped, Josh Marshall has the video, via Appletree.
The hurricane Center's Max Mayfield clearly warns of the danger of the levees being topped. Seems to contradict Bush's statement about not thinking that anybody anticipated the levees being breached. Unless, someone tries to confuse the issue by saying that everybody thought that the levees would hold if they weren't topped. Which is more or less true, but obviously irrelevant-- doesn't change the fact that the administration was warned. Still, I'm betting that we end up hearing it.
