Kansas Gov. Has Not Even Asked for Help?

Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sibelius (D) who has been saying National Guard assets don't exist in other states to help Greensburg disaster victims hasn't even asked for them yet, according to National Guard sources statements to HUMAN EVENTS today.

On NBC's “Today Show" Gov. Sibelius said "Fifty percent of the equipment is gone and we can't borrow from other states because their equipment is gone."

H.E. spoke with Cpt. Spicer of the Missouri National Guard to inquire how much help Missouri would be able to provide. Cpt. Spicer answered that “We have not been asked for help.”

We asked Cpt. Spicer if Gov. Sibelius was to ask the Missouri National Guard for assistance, would they be able to help?

“Whenever we are asked for help we do our best to provide it, for instance when Louisiana needed help we sent 2000 soldiers and airmen in, in a period of 72 hours.”

White House spokesman Tony Snow has responded to Sibelius’s statements saying "There's been an enormous amount of help on the scene already, frankly, when it comes to what's been going on with the tornado FEMA has certainly been actively engaged, and the administration is doing whatever it can." Snow said. “And if there's a need for equipment, it will arrive."


AP reported that Maj. Gen. Tod Bunting, said the Kansas National Guard was equipped to about 40% of its necessary levels and that about 850 soldiers have deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan.


"It just leaves you pretty tight," he said. "We're fine for now."


The Dems and their “amen chorus” in the media should check facts before blaming the Iraq War for leaving American disaster victims unaided.
