California’s Lieutenant Governor John Garamendi puts his finger on the issue at hand in the matter of the state’s wildfire emergency:
Garamendi: Of course it’s public relations. The actions taking place by the hardworking firefighters and men and women, police are out there on the line, and the community, that’s pulling together to support each other. That’s where the action’s taking place. I know I’m…okay, President Bush comes out; we’ll be polite. But frankly, that’s not the solution. How about sending our National Guard back from Iraq? So that we have those people here to help us?
Yeah; how about those troops? You know–the ones who swore an oath to protect their state, but are being held hotage in another hemisphere?
