Grey Davis hasn't asked for military assistance as far as I know. KFI had the two State Legislators on last night and as of about 9 p.m. cst, there had been no request from the State for military assistance. Although there have been a few AF planes used.

If this is going to be a new face of warfare, where your enemies (foreign Al Qaeda or domestic ELF) are going to set fires in a coordinated way, we had better have contingency plans involving rapid response by the military assets already available in SoCal and elsewhere.

If dozens of helicopters with water buckets had been called into the air early Sunday AM, the San Diego fires might have been put out before Sunday's Santa Ana's kicked them into the 20 mile wide firestorms we are dealing with today.
