Two points to think about:
1. It's called the National Guard. It's not the International Guard. It's supposed to guard our Nation! I'm sure when most people sign up, they think they are doing the one weekend a month deal. They can still be the local policeman or fireman, have a family, enjoy life. If they knew they would be in Iraq for long peroids of time, who knows what they might have done. But it's quite apparent in New Orleans that those National Guard who double as policemen and firemen were surely missed and a lot of Americans suffered and continue to suffer.
2. If the Department of Homeland Security acted this bad when it knew a storm was coming and had time to prepare, what will they do if a surprise attack went down? They are the largest and most ill-run segment of our government, they consume a massive budget, they take away our individual rights, thery have a lame color-coded terror alert system [which should have "Code Brown" added because they are deep shit] and it all makes sense that this is Bush's legacy. Michael Chertoff will probably step down as Secretary of Homeland Security when all the bad news starts hitting the fan, George should take the hint and do the same.
