I know someone is going to say this is just more political posturing but here is a bit from an article about the people cleaning up Greensburg, Kansas. It appears that equipment shortages are a problem but they "work through it."

Quote:
There have been equipment shortages to the point of hampering relief efforts, but what equipment they don't have they get by sharing with other organizations.


"We had a lot of support from state employee workers and their trucks. We work side-by-side with them and ... the Air Force (Air National Guard) ... with KDOT (Kansas Department of Transportation). They bring their equipment, we bring ours. We work through it pretty well," he said.

Right now America spends $700 billion every year on foreign oil. That's our money going overseas when it could be staying here. We have to stop this.
That's why I support the Pickens Plan. Check out the website at www.pickensplan.com. If you like what you see, please join me as a Pickens Plan supporter.

Delivering the Democrats' weekly radio address, Montano said the strain means it will take longer for Greensburg, Kansas, to recover from a devastating tornado that leveled the town a week ago.

"Crucial equipment used by the Guard for disaster relief is now in Iraq instead of standing ready to respond to crises here at home," said Montano, who was once adjutant general of the New Mexico National Guard.

"When the tornado struck Kansas last week, the Guard had half the number of humvees and large trucks they usually would have at their disposal," Montano said. "The recovery process now will take longer."

Montano echoed Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, a Democrat, who clashed with the Bush administration this week. "I don't think there is any question if you are missing trucks, Humvees and helicopters that the response [to the tornado] is going to be slower," she said Monday. "The real victims here will be the residents of Greensburg, because the recovery will be at a slower pace."
I'm sorry, but the way Bush beat up the democrat female governor of Louisiana has him in an awful lose, lose situation with any other female governor of a state hit by disaster.

Bottomline, Bush doesn't care about Americans. He's proven it on more than one occasion
