Propsed troop deployment

janet_napolitano.widec.jpgFrom the AP comes the following news about the plans that prospective Homeland Security secretary, Janet Napolitano, plans to make should she get the job:

Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano, President-elect Barack Obama’s reported primary choice for Homeland Security secretary, says she still thinks National Guard troops should be sent back to the U.S.-Mexico border.
Napolitano says “as governor of Arizona” that’s something she has advocated with other border state governors and still believes.
Guard troops were deployed for two years to support the Border Patrol as it hired more agents, but the troops left in July.
Napolitano wouldn’t say on Friday if she’s been offered the Homeland Security post. It includes overseeing the Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
And she won’t say whether she’ll seek to redeploy Guard troops to the border if she becomes Homeland Security secretary.

As Man_Eegee says, this isn’t change and it’s nothing I can believe in.
