Where are the Guardsmen on the border?
Bush was never serious about this little border stunt. I hope some reporter will ask the question, "how many calls has the President made to governors on this issue?" "What is the priority of this initiative?"
The reasons governors are citing for not sending Guardsmen are Iraq deployments and fear of natural disasters. Not a good message for Bush either.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - The Bush administration has been unable to muster even half of the 2,500 National Guardsmen it planned to have on the Mexican border by the end of June.

Another example of Puffy Patriotism trumping sober sanity.

I just can't believe they're letting it fail so soon.

What do you mean, "letting it fail?" The press conference, sound bites and photo-ops were a HUGE success for Bush's tough on imigration image. Were you thinking there was some other purpose to the whole National Guard patroling the border thing?

Heh!
You're right. I know. Just sloppy language on my part.
