Gosh, I hope we have enough military to help the tsunami relief sufficiently

Funny how the tsunami popped up in the middle of our little war in Iraq. I thought we didn't need to keep any troops on deck for possible crises? We were already overstretched, God only knows what the state of our readiness is now. It's the grasshopper and the ant (or whatever that fable is) all over again.

Consider this an open thread.
