US Government not sure if the rebuilt levees will hold

This is insane:

Despite aggressive efforts to repair the New Orleans levee system following the destruction of Hurricane Katrina, it isn't clear yet whether it could withstand a hurricane with heavy storm surge this year, the head of the Army Corps of Engineers conceded Saturday.

Everything Bush says this week about progress on Katrina is undermined by the fact that he can't vouch for the levees. Enough said.
