Another Casualty Of Iraq: A Small Kansas Town

Governor Kathleen Sebelius (D-Kansas) admitted today the cleanup after the devastating tornado that wiped Greensburg off the face of the earth is slowed because the Kansas National Guard is short in personnel and equipment because of the war in Iraq.

Kansas should have 70%-80% of the equipment needed to send the National Guard to respond to events such as this one, but currently Kansas only had about 40% according to the Governor.

It's sad that we here in the United States cannot attend to our own people and help out our own when they face disaster, because all of our energy and equipment is getting blown up in Iraq.

Where are the priorities?
