He's just trying to defend himself. The truth is that if the French Quarter had been destroyed, I'm sure he and all of his cronies would make it a much higher priority to get it all rebuilt. Unfortunately, nobody cares about the poor people there. Nagin doesn't, and you can be sure as hell that the Federal government doesn't. My prediction is it will be many many years (perhaps even decades) before the poor neighborhoods in New Orleans are rebuilt. The government will continue to dish out large multi-billion dollar no-bid contracts to the likes of bechtel and haliburton, but most of the actual work will be delayed indefinately and some will never be completed.
