Dang, if we get hit soon than there is no one to blame but President Bush for breaking our armed-forces and putting Americans here in America in harms way
Let us pray that the insurgents and al-Qaeda in Iraq do not read or follow the media in the United States, oh wait, they do, according to the r-wingers here in our country.
Too late... if you and I can read this article than you know al-Qaeda has read it too. :shock:
Iraq Plan May Hamper Domestic Defense - Yahoo! News
WASHINGTON - President Bush's troop buildup in Iraq and the demands of the four-year-old war are causing concern at the Pentagon that the conflict could hamper the military's response to domestic crises.
The head of the National Guard said Wednesday his troops lack the necessary equipment and that will hurt their ability to respond to natural or manmade disasters at home.
"I am not as comfortable as some others seem to be in accepting the low readiness levels here at home," Lt. Gen. Steven Blum said. "It creates a problem. It will cost us time and time will translate into lives."
Adm. Timothy Keating, commander of U.S. Northern Command, also said there may be "specific equipment shortfalls that, in the longer term, could have an impact on our ability to respond."
