Governor Ted Strickland is frustrated that some Ohio National Guard members have been put on alert for possible deployment to Iraq, and he's expressing that frustration to President Bush in the form of a letter. Strickland notes that the Ohio Combat Team was originally told it wouldn't have to go to Iraq for another two years, and the governor calls the change in plans "a breach of faith." Strickland is also skeptical about whether the Ohio Guard personnel are ready and equipped to fight in Iraq, even though some members have already been there.
That was part of an interview with Strickland aired on National Public Radio. |
