Barack Obama will send UP TO 1200 NG to the border, is what I heard him say today. Does that possibly mean one or two?

That is a drop in the bucket. 1200 NG divided across a 2000 mile border is 1 per 5 miles (appx), that is if they are actually being deployed for border interdiction.

He also said "on as AS NEEDED basis". Who is going to determine, AS NEEDED?
