National Guard Slow Responding To Kansas Twister, Needed Equipment In
Iraq
May 7, 2007

Greensburg, KS (AHN) -
Adding to the woes of residents of Greensburg, Kansas who survived
Friday's tornado was the slow response by the National Guard.
The guard had trouble responding because some of the equipment needed
is in Iraq.
One of the National Guard's primary duties is responding to natural
disasters and assisting Americans.
Much of the money allocated to guard units is for the equipment,
including trucks used to move equipment to wherever it's needed.
"Your National Guard is prepared to respond to fires, floods,
hurricanes, and a host of other natural disasters," reads a statement
on the Guard's Web site.
But the National Guard unit responding to the disaster in Greensburg
wasn't prepared.
It was slowed down in getting there because they didn't have all the
equipment they needed to respond.
Some of their equipment is in Iraq, National Public Radio announcer
Carl Castle reported Monday morning.
"We're missing about half our trucks" as well as Humvees and trained
personnel that are in Iraq, said Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, on NPR
Monday morning.

It's pretty sad that the Democratic governor has to use this tragedy for
partisanship purposes.

Absolutely. He should have done what any competent governor would do. Just
snap his fingers and make the missing equipment magically appear. Enough of
this whining about the equipment being comandeered by Bush for his useless
war.

At this point the military remaining in the United States has been bled so
dry
by shrubs war, that Mexico could attack us and we wouldn't have anything
to fight them with!

Quit your whining. There are no free lunches. So what if the National
Guard is stretched a little thin. So what if the $423 billion we have
already spent on this war, could have provided 4 year scholarships to 20
million of our young. Democracy is breaking out all over the middle-east.

Kind of a double whammy for the Jay Hawks.
Most support junior and his war that has taken equipment they now need for
dealing with the destruction caused by a tornado boosted by global warming
which they deny (yes greater and more frequent storms were identified as one
of the results of global warming in the latest GW report).
At least they have the comfort knowing it's god's will.
