The failures of all the politicians involved in 9/11 demonstrates what a TRIRIGA the whole thing was. I think that huricane Rita will be no different.

The team of three horses that pulled the chariot of the Roman emperor, and regarded as a symbol of victory upon an emperor's return from successful conquests.
Tririga is most often used as a proper name, as in the case of a company called TRIRIGA based in Las Vegas, Nevada.
