BUSH you piece of shit.. WE NEED THE NATIONAL GUARD

[annabanana]

Here at HOME.. Bringing help to the Ameicans in danger here..
Getting fresh water in.. plucking people from roofs.. repairing levees,

The local red cross can't do this..We need an Army for this..

[Midlodemocrat]

1. Oh, haven't you heard?

They are busy keeping us safe from the terra. :sarcasm:

Didn't you get the memo?

[AuntiBush]

27. We Got The Memo. Trouble Was, it was Leaked To Us A Bit Too Late!

These days, at a total loss for words. How about "numb."

[aden_nak]

2. The National Guard are busy protecting Americans from oil monsters.

Clearly, priorities, folks!

[SammyWinstonJack]

3. The oil monsters are now in charge of Americans here at home.

Fixin' to loot the hell out of us.

[AuntiBush]

37. And you Know What...

Sadly, you're probably right. Fixin' is closing in fast now.

[mshasta]

4. he is out of reality with the rest of us...

...:banghead:

[AuntiBush]

29. mshasta: They do not care... Sadly, stinkin' So!

They must not... what other answer can there be. They just don't give a damn about us -- any of us.

Bad timing, but welcome to DU.

[sundog]

5. where the fuck are they?

x(

[earth mom]

6. Who gives a shit about the people of the United States?!

* Co sure doesn't! :puke:

[stopbush]

7. We're fighting the hurricanes there so we don't have to...

er, never mind.

[Patiod]

8. Damnit stopBush - you stole my joke!!

I was just about to post the same thing!

[GarySeven]

9. Remember what his Father did during Gilbert and Andrew

he dithered and dallied while thousands starved and finally had to resort to rioting on St. Croix; then when Andrew hit - IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CAMPAIGN - and he refused to send any troops into Miami or to do anything for days, or until Clinton came in to take action.

You have to remember that the residents of both the Virgin Islands and Miami are registered Democrats. Obviously, he was waiting for the surplus population of liberals to decrease before sending in troops to protect Republican property.

[DURHAM D]

10. I don't think most Americans even realize that the National

Guard means "National" Guard. The lines are blurred - everyone I talk to thinks the guard is the army.

[annabanana]

11. If they're Vietnam era...

they know the difference.

[AuntiBush]

30. You are Right. We Know the Difference.

The "Guard" guards us, Americans here on our soil from natural disasters, etc.

You hit it right on the nail.

No one is signing-up because they either know the truth which is a pack of lies "or" their Chicken-hawk Repuks, good on spreading hatred, and that's about it.

[Lisa]

35. if he renamed them the "International Guard", people might catch on! (n/t)

[AuntiBush]

36. Really, Lisa. What they Hey. They've Changed Every Thing Else!

Might as well change the name of them, as well. Good call.

[dejaboutique]

12. they should have been doing rescues YESTERDAY!!!!!!

why the hell wasnt the national guard rescuing yesterday...i didnt see near the helicopter rescues yesterday! where the hell are they!

[Hobarticus]

13. It's not just NG...rescue personnel are often reservists and guardsmen

Many law enforcement and rescue services had big ol' holes in them even before this, as their people get called up. How many of the Gulf Coast states' first responders are in Iraq, right now? It's double jeopardy.

[leftchick]

20. exactly right. The Iraq war has decemated our First responders

I hate bush. He is guilty of some many deaths in Iraq and here.

:grr:

[SunDrop23]

14. The National Guardsmen and Women are busy being used as target practice...

while Halliburton rakes in the profit.

[AuntiBush]

31. You Got That Right, SunDrop23.

Toss in Bechtel, GE and Lockhead... surely I've missed a few.

[SunDrop23]

34. And countless more...

[Glenda]

15. We can condense "POTUS" down to "POS" now

which is more fitting :)

[WildEyedLiberal]

16. LA National Guard watches hurricane aftermath from Iraq

http://www.wkbt.com/Global/story.asp?S=3785796

Fuck. :(

[OhioChick]

17. That's a damn shame..............n/t

[leftchick]

18. a LA NG brigade in Iraq is due home in a few weeks

you would think rummy would have them on their way home by now.

:grr:

[Lefty48197]

19. They need to stop the looting too

The National Guard soldiers who were still stateside are working to save people. There aren't enough of them to protect property.

[bpilgrim]

22. the TREASURY!

peace

[bpilgrim]

21. but Rummy got this awesome POWER-POINT that clearly shows how we really

DON'T need'm here - huge waste of resources, BTW - and how we can use them synergisticly to fight 3 global wars simultaneously :wow:

you just gotta see it...

more...

25. That fucking photo is like his Putin Kursk Moment

The russkies went apeshit when Putin refused to interrupt his golf game when he learned that the Kursk was stranded at the bottom of the sea...he had to really struggle to regain the points he lost over that issue.

[Nothing Without Hope]

23. They could have come in and started with the levees and other

preparation efforts BEFORE the storm hit - and now there they are stuck in Iraq. Thousands of them have families in the davastated areas and must be frantic.

Bush stole OUR National Guard for his immoral war, using them as unarmored cannon fodder, and he also slashed funding for hurricane protection and relief efforts:

24. Hell yes

I've been saying this for months. Besides which, NATIONAL Guard is to defend this nation-not Iraq. Why the "other side" isn't America first is beyond me-oh yeah because of terror and the great threat that poses. They mentioned it here in the West when they realized they wouldn't have the forces necessary to fight wildfires-which thankfully there have been almost none this season. I'll say it again-I want the armed forces to DEFEND me-not oil wells..not Iraqi's not Saudia Arabia not whomever...but it's not about America, clearly is it? Cindy Sheehan has made this point and I love her for it.

[Minstrel Boy]

They're fightin' the hurricane over there so

they don't hafta fight it over here.

[Hissyspit]

26. The Pentagon said there were "adequate" N.G. units!

um...even before the nature and extent of the damage was known.

I don't know how people can shill for Bushco without vomiting as they speak.

[AuntiBush]

28. Was Thinking the Same Thing Earlier, AnnaBanana!

[lostnfound]

32. He's NEVER known what the National Guard was for..even when he was one.nt

[philosophie_en_rose]

33. Sorry. He's on vacation.

Karl in Accounting will be taking his calls.

[Old Mouse]

38. I see it now...

He can't take these sort of questions from the press, so he hides until he message can be decided, branded and published complete with talking points before he can make his appearance on Friday.
