"WP: The administration had sought control over National Guard units, normally under control of the governor."

"This proves the opposite of their freeking title of the article"

Huh? The "Bush should have sent in the National Guard sooner" refrain is untrue?

The National Guard is under State control in these types of situations. Bush was trying to federalize the relief efforts to keep the utterly incompetent Louisiana government out of it. Look, are they having these kinds of problems in Mississippi and Alabama? Can you point to another natural disaster in this country where relief has been handled this incompetently by the locals?
