Test run

Just read this posting on AMERICAblog and realized that what we're witnessing here, besides the tragedy and the chaos, is a real, full-blown test run of what could happen if another terrorist attack were to happen.

"I think it took longer to the National Guard's armed troops in. The national guard was here very early with equipment and manpower, engineering batalltions, etc. to help us restore our infrastructure. What's taken longer is getting the actual armed troops and that may be a result that most of our armed troops, most of our armed troops, a lot of our armed reserves are in Iraq. I don't know if they have the troops to send us."

It seems to me that we are totally unprepared and that our worst fears, that the President was leaving the homeland undefended to go fight his oil-war, have been proven well-founded.
