<<Perhaps you don't understand that Bush can't send troops onto american
soil  
on his own. The mayor and governor were very late in requesting assistance.
We 
 never had a shortage of troops to assist in the disaster, no one ever said 
that.  Timing has been the issue in this crisis.>>

Actually I do know that. Once the mayor and the governor asked for help, not
much happened. If the governor's national guard had not been in Iraq (along
with all the vehicles that could go through deep water), the situation would
not have been so dire.
