We still have enough troops, huh?
One of my students just told me he's been activated by the National Guard for 2-4 weeks to go south and help with Katrina cleanup.
Um, folks, if they're calling up National Guard units from Missouri doesn't that suggest that -- despite all protests to the contrary -- that Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama (who have thousands of guardsmen in Iraq) don't really have enough guardsmen on hand to help with the Katrina disaster?
They've been saying that all day but they're apparently quietly going around calling up units from other states.
Why do they lie to us like that?
