re: "I don't think there is any question if you are missing trucks, Humvees and helicopters that the response is going to be slower," she said Monday. "The real victims here will be the residents of Greensburg, because the recovery will be at a slower pace." Sebelius said that with other states facing similar limitations, "stuff that we would have borrowed is gone." The National Guard is certainly a huge issue. But the standing Armed Services are also an issue. People criticise Clinton for cutting back on the military; Bush has destroyed it, in readiness and reputation, for nothing in Iraq. Our military, at this point in time, we can't stand up to anyone. And everyone in the world knows that can't deal with an popular insurrection. The major part of being a "superpower" is bluff; we played that card and lost.
