Bush can't send in the Guard without the States permission

combjelly,

Certainly there is plenty of criticism that can be spread around. But don't forget that Bush could have sent in the National Guard on his own, just like he did on 9/11.

I heard something on TV that said that Bush would have authority to act without Governor's (or Mayor's?) approval only if he declared that there is insurrection. I don't know if that is right or wrong.

Joe

>Could it be that they didn't see New Orleans as important because the governor and mayor are Democrats, unlike Pataki and Guliani?

And because there's no one we can go to war with over this...
