Guard Plan Fails To Meet First Deadline

What a shock, the administration has failed to come up with even half of the 2500 Guardsmen that were supposed to be on a southern border by today. As of yesterday, less than 1000 were in place.

Granted, they are mostly being used to do oil changes and tire rotation for the Border Patrol and not in any real way to be an illegal invasion deterrrent. It just goes to show that everyone throughout the Bush organization knows this is simply posturing, while he tries to get his amnesty bill rammed down our throats. (see the previous post)

National Guard officials said Thursday that they probably won't reach the 2,500 target until early to mid-July and won't make the 6,000 deadline, either. Also, they said the number of troops will fluctuate from week to week over the course of the two-year mission.

"We now anticipate major waves in our deployment. There won't always be 6,000. That will be the maximum," Munn said.

What a great non plan, Mr. President, you and your boys must be proud.
