There are not enough troops because they are all being sucked into the Iraq quagmire. Heck, they don't even have enough helicopters in NO to do the job. Too many in Iraq.

LOL!

I assume you're either being sarcastic or smoking rock.

There are more than 40,000 NGs who can be deployed.

It's up to the governor.

of course, she knows that if she orders troops into the city and they shoot and kill some of these "poor, desparate, misunderstood young men" then black voters will stay home next time she's up for reelection.

Golly! What a quandry the LA governor is in! Let the situation go to hell and be known as a BAD politician for NOT helping, or shoot the constituency for looting, raping, and beating people!

Choices....choices.... I bet she chooses NOT to call in any sufficient numbers of ANGs. Then she'll make sure the MSM spins this sufficiently so it doesn't "seem" as bad as it really is.

Yep...that's my bet.

What about you Kirk ole buddy? What do you suppose? C'mon man....spin it so we can all hear how this is GWB's fault. :-)
