Chertoff: Katrina scenario did not exist

This guy is as bad as Brown. These two idiots need to be flogged. I've been to NOLA three times and you can't sit at a bar without hearing someone say 'this place is screwed if a hurricane hits' The scenarios were mentioned on the news a hundred times in the days before it made landfall.

Chertoff, fielding questions from reporters, said government officials did not expect both a powerful hurricane and a breach of levees that would flood the city of New Orleans.

"That 'perfect storm' of a combination of catastrophes exceeded the foresight of the planners, and maybe anybody's foresight," Chertoff said.

He called the disaster "breathtaking in its surprise."
