The cynic in me says that this is way too great an opportunity for the Republicans to waste. Do you still feel the same way now? Not me. I am beside myself with anger and outrage. After Hurricane Camille, in 1969, immediately afterward Nixon sent 1000 federal troops to the area. I think the sad truth is that our military is overextended. We've got troops in countries all over the world. Especially in Iraq now, the National Guards and the Army Reserves. I was interviewing a retired military man last week. He'd been stationed in Germany, Japan, Korea, even Central America. Think of that. Military operations in Central America. We don't talk about that, though, do we? Someone posted that 28,000 troops were going to be sent to New Orleans, and it took time to prepare them. Yeah, I guess so. Too bad they didn't just send the 1000 at the beginning before things spun out of control.
