We'll see what comes out of it. It seems to me that rescue assistance for tsunami assistance was quicker than assistance to those in NO.

And this "In any case, the notion that, in a time of war, we should set keep higher percentages of our Guard on the sidelines just in case there's a natural disaster of unprecedented proportions seems difficult to defend." If the war is a stupid war, and shouldn't have been started in the first place, then it's easy to argue that the guard should be at home. I find it hard to believe that a 25% reduction in staff, or whatever it is, doesn't affect results- in all other businesses it would. I also don't believe materials were available, and I KNOW money has been diverted from infrastructure, since that is right out there in the open.

While the left is certainly wrong to blame it all on Bush, the right is wrong to try to save him from the crap he has but this country through because of his lousy war in Iraq. Billions spent there, are billions not spent here- and I won't believe anyone who tells me that didn't make a difference- and in a heck of a lot more places than NO. What we should do now is find some ways to save the money we are pouring in to Iraq, and do some rebuilding in our own country.
