Why was the LA National Guard never deployed, even after they criticized the Federal Government for not sending military assistance?

I was concentrating on what was not covered yet. Feel free to add the links for those threads to this one.

Thanks,

I thought, or they said, it was because most/all of LA's National Guard were in Iraq. How true is that?

There was a partial mobilization, though I don't think it was very big. The security at the SuperDome Sunday night was handled by a (regrettably small) contingent of the Guard.

Army, Coast Guard and NG were saving people all day Tuesday. I got this off of FoxNews Tuesday evening and I keep it on my homepage. Feel free to use it anytime.
