How much did GW blow on totally ineffective tidal-wave detection technology?

Thanks for answers that prove what a total jerk Bush was. Lets spend trillion and than figure out how it works. Annoyed how unnecessary over reaction may cause to disregard necessary warning in the future.

Ineffective? There was a Tsunami and it detected it. Its just the science is not developed enough yet to be able to predict the size of a incoming Tsunami yet. How is that being ineffective?

"On January 14, 2005, the Bush Administration announced plans to commit a
total of $37.5 million to upgrade and expand the U.S. tsunami detection and warning
capability as part of GEOS21S. The plan calls for: (1) NOAA to deploy 32 new
advanced technology Deep-Ocean Assessment Reporting of Tsunami (DART) buoys
— 25 in the Pacific and 7 in the Atlantic and Caribbean — for a fully operational
tsunami warning system by mid-2007; (2) installing 38 new sea-level monitoring/tide
gauge stations; (3) ensuring continuous staffing of the two existing Tsunami Warning
Centers; (4) upgrading the Global Seismic Network (GSN), a partnership between
USGS and the National Science Foundation, with 128 globally distributed modern
seismic sensors to monitor seismic events in tsunami-prone areas; and (5) expand the
Tsunami Ready Program to improve community preparedness."
(The WARNING SYSTEM worked, by the way … It’s to warn of tsunami, not create them.)
(You must be very disappointed that 1/2 million people didn’t die).
(Bush-bashing … mental exercise for minds incapable of thinking)

This time the tsunami was existing as turbulent under the sea. Fortunately, no one got into water; otherwise, they would never come back.
