2. These planes should have been fighting fires in CO all along.

I can understand your why you might question my complaint.

Not using the best we have--the C-130 planes--is just so wrong. The RW ideology is what kept them out of the fight until this formal request was made. This is not what America does. We tackle a problem with all we've got. I guess that we Americans are so used to this kind of "help private business" first mindset that we miss what's important--getting the job done. In this case, it means having the government do it. The RW refuses to acknowledge that the government--OUR government--can do the job better. Government isn't the problem, the failed idealogy of the RW is.
