Bring Back The National Guard

Just another way in which the war in Iraq has debilitated this country.

The rebuilding effort in tornado-ravaged Greensburg, Kansas, likely will be hampered because some much-needed equipment is in Iraq, said that state’s governor.

Governor Kathleen Sebelius said much of the National Guard equipment usually positioned around the state to respond to emergencies is gone. She said not having immediate access to things like tents, trucks and semitrailers will really handicap the rebuilding effort.

Thanks for keeping us safe President Bush!

Nobody really thinks about the important function that the National Guard is supposed to play until there's a natural disaster and they're gone.
