Bump
Yesterday, the Chicago Trib continued the Sebelius lie.
” Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius was direct in her explanation for why the response had not been faster:
The policies of the federal government, she said, had left the Kansas National Guard understaffed and underequipped.”
http://www.accesskansas.org/ksadjutantgeneral/ has a link to many photos from Greensburg.
They red caps are Air Force, not too many pictures yet of the Army.The Army is there is greater numbers, so when those pictures come on line-Sebelius will be further exposed.
But, it’s pretty obvious that they are plenty of people in uniform working. With plenty of equipment.
There are about 500 members of the military there now-there are about 8oo members of the KS National Guard deployed ,
which leaves Sebelius with a couple of thousand National Guard soldiers available to her in Kansas.
” Her comments infuriated the Bush administration, which countered that the vast majority of her state’s Guard members were available to be called up and that she would be provided any equipment she lacked as soon as she requested it.”
It seems that Tony Snow is obliquely exposing Sebelius-in the beginning, all she asked for was FM radios.
The soldiers and equipment were readily available to Sebelius- she refused to call them up.
That’s the true scandal , whether or not Dean told her to stall or she confessed to Brownback.
Which is probably why the DNC is trying to silence her critics.
