It is funny how state governments are quick to blame someone else for their own lack of preparedness. And those talking points most likely originated at the DNC....as evidenced by the Post Chocolate City discussions.
Are you that naive?
See any Gov can ask for help from any other state’s National Guard or even the Fed Govt if there local force lacks the ability to respond to the disaster. She did NONE of those things. What she DID do was rush to the cameras and blame the war in Iraq, the same defense the DNC staged managed in their PR offensive in the aftermath of Katerina, for her, “the CIC of the Kansas National Guard”’s failure to respond to the crises.
Instead of mugging for the camera, she should of been on the phone. Instead of waiting to figure the political angle to play, just as Gov Blanko did in Louisiana in the aftermath of Katerina, she should of been deploying the 80% of the Kansas National Guard that is STILL IN KANSAS.
So either she is wholly incompetent to fulfill her duties as Governor of Kansas and should be fire or she is out right lying and should be fired for gross misconduct.
