The Katrina briefing video

Link via Leiter Reports.

President George W. Bush, September 1:

"I don't think anybody anticipated the breach of the levees."

National Hurricane Center representative, with Bush online, August 28:

"I don't think any model can tell you with any confidence right now whether the levees will be topped or not, but that is obviously a very, very grave concern."

There are a limited number of possible explanations for that pair of quotes. None of them are consistent with the idea that Bush is minimally competent to be the leader of a Boy Scout camping trip, let alone leader of the least of nations, or of America.

Sigh.
