Reply #9: you mean the national guard fighting in Iraq?

[Lerkfish]

that national guard?

you have to wonder:

why does Bush want to send Nat Guard to foreign soil, and send active troops to our soil, a complete flip flop of the intended purpose?

consider: so that the federal forces can usurp the state's soveriegnty.
so that forces would not be from their hometowns.


can someone answer WHY there is suddenly enough "active duty" troops to enforce the population in emergencies, but there wasn't enough to send to Iraq?
