Let me give you a quick civics lesson: the governors are responsible for requesting the National Guard within their own states. In short, President Bush can't send the LA Nat'l Guard anywhere within LA. They don't answer to him in that regard.

5000 members of the LA National Guard are in Iraq. The LA National Guard did not have the resources to conduct the necessary rescues and evacuations. The regular U.S. military does have the resources (as demonstrated by the awesome job they did once they arrived on the scene). Unfortunately, Smirky was too busy vacationing and partying to issue the deployment order until Thursday.
