Obama to send 1200 troops to border, McCain says it’s not enough (to defeat Hayworth?)
[Link: www.cnn.com…]
What a fucking surprise.
In a speech Tuesday on the Senate floor, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said the situation on the border has “greatly deteriorated.” He called for 6,000 National Guard troops to be sent to the U.S.-Mexico border.
“I appreciate the additional 1,200 being sent … as well as an additional $500 million, but it’s simply not enough,” McCain said.
I’m wondering why those 6000 troops are supposed to come from, don’t we have a got amount of them there and in Iraq/Afghanistan?
