Can you elaborate? I’m just curious what she said versus the facts...not questioning the factuality of your comment? It’s not possible for me to follow every story.

Based on a May 7 American Forces Press Service article noted by the conservative QandO Blog, Mirengoff asserted that Sebelius’ claim was untrue:

In fact, it’s not true that Kansas was missing 60 percent of its National Guard equipment, or that the National Guard was ill-prepared to deal with the aftermath of the tornado. The Democrats’ claim is pure invention. According to Randal Noller, public affairs officer for the National Guard Bureau, the Kansas National Guard has 88 percent of its forces available, and 60 percent of its Army Guard dual-use equipment on hand, along with more than 85 percent of its Air Guard equipment. If the Kansas National Guard were shorthanded in any way, it could have asked for assistance from other states under a national sharing agreement. It did not do so.
