"On the deadline to have 2,500 troops along the Mexican border, the National Guard said Friday that only 483 were in position and working with the U.S. Border Patrol as the Bush administration had directed.

But Guard officials said more than 2,000 others were somewhere inside the four southwestern border states, training or helping plan the deployment. He and Bush administration officials argued Friday that the presence of troops in those states spelled success in the first stage of the mission. "

==========================

LMAO...."somewhere" in four border states...but NOT on the border where they were suppose to be by June 30th. I read this article over and over. Bush failed because putting the NG on the border is contradictory to his Open Borders/NAU agenda for amnesty for illegals and their employers. I could not believe the spinning going on to try and cover for the fact that Bush did not meet his deadline as promised and then they finally admitted.....

"Only 483 were physically on the border, he conceded."
