This would not be happening if the United States, this wealthiest nation on earth, had a DEFENSE DEPARTMENT and a WHITE HOUSE that had cared enough about the American people to make sure there was a NATIONAL FIRE-FIGHTING FORCE equipped to protect us, which is what our government's number one obligation is supposed to be.
Instead, they're using OUR money to protect the people of Iraq.
Boo Hooo hahhahahah something tells me you have never been in one of these fires... I have.... MANY.
You do not know what you are talking about.... First whiz bang, stop the Santa Ana winds... come on they are only 60 to 70 miles per hour. These fires are fanned by them. There is NO amount of people, equipment or technology that can protect against a brush fire moving at windspeed ( yes 60 mph) unless you are talking the hand of God. So if you do not know what the hell you are saying... don't make a fool of yourself by tacking on a political agenda to a post.
