Remember the leftists who screamed that we don’t have enough National Guard personnel to handle Hurricane Katrina, and it’s Bush’s fault?

Oops.

Wrong again.

National Guard: Enough GIs for Storm Duty. (Hat tip: LGF readers.)

WASHINGTON (AP) — Though thousands of National Guard personnel from Louisiana and Mississippi are serving in Iraq, officials say more than enough personnel were available for disaster duty Monday as Hurricane Katrina slammed ashore.

“Only about half of available forces are mobilized in Louisiana and forces are available from neighboring states if needed,” said Lt. Col. Mike Milord, a spokesman at National Guard headquarters outside Washington.

Some 3,500 Army National Guardsmen from Louisiana were deployed to help hurricane victims and another 3,000 were on standby.
