CNN -- National Guard at 50% capacity in each state |
|
Barbara Starr at Pentagon just gave report for CNN.... said that national guard was left at 50% capacity in each state since start of Iraq war (as demanded by state governors).
It's too bad for the people in the damaged areas, especially today as people need assistance being pulled out of dangerous areas. Could have saved twice as many people.

3. There shouldn't be a single American who isn't outraged by that stat |
|
50% NG left to protect America, with several states tripling their NG units for 18 months tours in Iraq as I type.
That is gross government malfeasance.

4. I Liked Her BushBot Spin: |

"They're in relatively good shape with 50%..." oh yeah I'm sure they couldn't use any more help, personnel or VEHICLES....Randi Rhodes said lots of high-water vehicles are in IRAQ....in the dessert!

6. "50% as demanded by state governors" |
|
I wonder what capacity would have been left had the States not demanded it. Would bushco had left certain regions with less than 50%.
