Reply #46: Bush has "better" uses for the National Guard too: cannon fodder

for his games of conquest, poorly protected and carelessly used. Disaster relief is one of the primary job descriptions of the National Guard. Bush has subverted its use, abused the National Guard troops, and now they are not there to help in areas devastated by the hurricane.

Oh, and just think how much disaster relief could have been purchased with the conservative estimate of ONE TRILLION DOLLARS to be spent in connection with the Middle East wars if there is a US military presence there even just 5 years more:
