Something I Learned in High School

When I was in high school, there was a sign in the library that read: "Your failure to be prepared does not represent an emergency for me." I think someone should have put this sign up in the White House and the Pentagon five years ago.

Because the recent calling-up of National Guard troops sooner than normal according to Pentagon guidelines and the extension of tours of duty for troops in Iraq and Afghanistan from twelve months to fifteen months is a case of the failure of the Bush regime to prepare for the post-war occupation and reconstruction becoming an emergency for soldiers, airmen, sailors, and marines unfortunate to be serving such incompetent leaders.
