"We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."
That'll be one whopper of a police state! But I imagine the elite figure they'll need it after they crash the economy. Gonna be alot of unhappy campers around.
Don't rightly know for sure but if I had to guess I'd say it'd be another cool sounding euphemism..."enduring vigilance" or something else real he man patriotic sounding so's you'll accept it without question.
But then this puppets a democrat so you may have questions after all...hope so anyway. ;)
For Obamanites the answers to all problems are more government but this one seems wilder than most and needs some serious clarification!
What exactly in a civilian national security force?
I'll feel safer just knowing that Homeland Security and
the "Federal Vigilance Department" are both on the job. It'll be like having two big brothers looking out for us. How can ya not feel safer?
"THE number of US-paid private contractors in Iraq now exceeds that of American combat troops, new figures show, raising fresh questions about the privatisation of the war and the Government's capacity to carry out military and rebuilding campaigns.
More than 180,000 civilians - American and foreign - are working in Iraq under US contracts, State and Defence Department figures show. Including the recent troop increase, 160,000 American soldiers and several thousand civilian government employees are stationed in Iraq."
"The U.S. has outsourced so many war and reconstruction duties that there are almost as many contractors (120,000) as U.S. troops (135,000) in the war zone."
I can't give you a link. I was driving the other day, listening to the radio, and that comment was made. I am not sure what station I was listening to, so I do not know what program it was. I was somewhat surprised at the comment. But I do know there are lots of contractors there like Blackwater.
I'll see if I can find anything more on this.
