What difference would it have made having THE BEST TRAINED HALF THE NATIONAL GUARD in these states instead of in Iraq?

A fucking hell of a lot.

3. Yes. If you have so much money you can lose how many billion in
Iraq... there's money for NOLA.

It's fucking sick that poor people and elderly are going to be raiding their bank accounts to give to the Red Cross when, if we hadn't fucked up in Iraq, we'd have plenty...

4. They didn't plan for Iraq and they didn't plan for Katrina
It is a clear problem in the brush administration the inability to plan for possible different outcomes. They shoot from the hip instead of planning. It's because they create their own reality and think if they don't plan, it wont happen.

5. Absolutely. the irony is almost too goddamned much to bear.
Katrina is what those Guard troops enlisted for, not getting their asses blown up in Fallujah.
