I was told by someone whos brother is in the LA National Gaurd that they are in Iraq and that Wisconson was sending their National Gaurds to N.O.



Certain combat units of the Louisiana Guard are in Iraq but are scheduled to rotate home in a couple of weeks. The units that specialize in disaster relief and engineering are still in Louisiana...they never deployed.

And what you're seeing with the mayor there is a man who's been in over his head (no pun intended) probably since before the storm actually hit. He's got no instincts and no idea what to do.
