But as I said before when Sebastian critisized people for critisizing Bush, wasn't the Federal government responsible for the integrity of the Levee? Everyone knew it could collapse, so everyone should have been more prepared. But in the end it was an inland water way within the purview of the Coast Guard, so the Feds were responsible for the integrity of the Levee.
Am I wrong?

I agree. Nagin was responsible for the pre- and immediate post-event safety of the populace and completely dropped the ball. If he had evacuated 50,000 or so people on the buses on Saturday and Sunday prior to Katrina the loss of lives would have been significantly less and the criticism of the Feds would probably be limited to inadequate maintenance of the levee over the last several decades (if not longer).
