Anybody Home? Nope.........

So. What happens when you try to wage a war with insufficient personnel, planning, or any type of coherent organized strategy?

This.

The government's response to the disaster was undermined by ongoing National Guard deployments to the Middle East, Gov. Kathleen Sebelius said.

"I don't think there is any question if you are missing trucks, Humvees and helicopters that the response is going to be slower," Sebelius said. "The real victims here will be the residents of Greensburg, because the recovery will be at a slower pace."

It's called the "Law of Unintended Consequences". You see, incompetent stumblebums re-deploy National Guard troops and equipment, that were intended to provide support for natural disasters in this country, off to the never ending war in Iraq. So when a disaster hits in a place like Greensburg, Kansas, - well, what a surprise - we don't have the National Guard infrastructure to effectively provide necessary support.

Your tax dollars at work......
