Some Louisiana National Guardsmen would sure come in handy about now.

Geez, where have they all gone?

[Proud2BAmurkin]

1. Yeah. Where the hell is the National Guard

:shrug:

[xultar]

5. Funny I thought that is what National referred to not International.

2. the Govenor has 1500 alerted with another 2000 available on short

notice. thank heavens (but not Bush) there are still units at home.

7. That's hilarious, because THREE thousand are in Iraq.

According to Mary Landrieu.

13. it's ironic for sure and sad as chit, that's what it is n/t

3. I sure as hell hope that someone in the media points out that

those Guardsmen were in Iraq because of the Idiot Son and duh, they are needed here. If they don't, they are all criminal bastards.

[tjdee]

4. Hmm. Just where could they be? A president couldn't order them in, huh?

This is a peculiarity.

6. GW scratching his head now

Security at home might be something to think about, what a concept!

[proud patriot]

8. I'm just sick over this whole thing

:-(

[TrueAmerican]

9. Bush is keeping them safe in Iraq. n/t

n/t

10. Where's the national guard in the midst of a national emergency?

Oh yeah they are dealing with someone else's national emergency.

[LibDemAlways]

11. When those people signed up for the

Guard it was for just such a purpose as this - to be called out in the event of a local emergency. Now ironically, thousands of them won't be available to keep people safe here at home because they are "fighting for your freedom" (yeah, right) in a country that just wants to see them gone.

What utter bullshit.

12. A president who can make decisions in the wake of disaster

would also come in handy right now.
