Like clockwork, major blizzards, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, or forest fires happen every single year.  Predicting they will reoccur somewhere in American is assured of 100% accuracy.  Why then, was the White House seemingly unable to predict our National Guard units might need their equipment here to deal with disasters such as the leveling of Greensburg Kansas, rather than left behind in Iraq?  Has Bush learned nothing from Katrina? Is “plan” nothing but a four letter word to this Administration?

We are fighting over there so they will not come over here, it is a joke, here the National Guard is created to protect the nation, and not only are they over there so is the equipment, is the government going to reimburse the states or is Bush and Company going to go on their merry way making mistakes.

The whole “gang that can’t shoot straight” should be Impeached, after all the Shrubs popularity is down to 28% of Americans.
