The Governor Has His Doubts...

To His Credit...

Governor Ted Strickland (Ohio, D) has protested the planned deployment of his National Guard troops to Iraq. He has called upon the administration to give adequate planning to the 37th Infantry Combat Brigade Team (Columbus) and adequate equipment (e.g., body armor, night vision equipment, etc...). He has noted that this is the second time the 37th will be called up in two years. Deployment was originally scheduled for 2009.

Also, there is a report circulating in the media that an active-duty four star general has stated about the Irag War that "we don't where the hell we're going...". Sounds like the disastrous Varus Teutoburg Wald campaign of ancient Rome.
