The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) proposes that the U.S. Army be used to plan, command, and carry out (with the help of civilian law enforcement) domestic police missions. So says a story appearing in the May/June issue of the influential organizations official journal, Foreign Affairs. The article lacks a single reference to the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits such actions. In an article penned by Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, General Raymond T. Odierno, the CFR would see the Army used to address challenges in the United States itself in order to keep the homeland safe from

Odierno needs to be taken out and tarred and feathered.
What a despicable jerk. Another of the perfumed princes.
He is a very dangerous man.
POS!

Does anyone need more evidence that the CFR is an enemy organization made up of traitors?

Odierno and Petreous made a great team in rag-head territory, and I had not realized until recently that he’s been elevated in command. Good on him - but what’s this bullshit he’s spewing.
Does Odierno suffer from stress syndrome, to come up with such a stupid suggestion during Zer0’s administration? Slap this boy across the head!

Army? Feh! We need the Air Force Global Strike Command involved in law enforcement? Anything from a smart bomb dropped from a B-2 on a speeder to a full nuclear strike on a 7-Eleven serving a 17 ounce drink, the Global Strike Command is there to utterly destroy threats to this country.

The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) proposes that the U.S. Army be used to plan, command, and carry out (with the help of civilian law enforcement) domestic police missions...The article lacks a single reference to the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits such actions.Nope. That law prohibits state or local officials from using the Army in such a way. It does not prohibit the president from using federal troops to enforce the laws, as indeed presidents have often done throughout our history.
And which, in many circumstances, they should do. Or does anyone claim that if a Bombay-style major terror attack were launched on an American city, we should not use the US military to fight back? Or that if the drug cartel wars spill over into the USA, only local and state forces should respond?
Obviously, use of federal troops to enforce the law can be abused. But the concept is not of itself wrong, it is in fact necessary.
The PCA also does not prohibit governors from using National Guard troops to enforce the law.
I note that the article spends a bunch of time ranting about the Iraq and Afghanistan wars being illegal.
They're not. You can argue, and I'll probably agree, that they were ill-advised. But they are perfectly legal under the Constitution.

Obviously, use of federal troops to enforce the law can be abused. I think the odds would be 100%, that it could be, and would be abused.

Let's see, the bill is probably already on paper and Congress will pass it and the obozo will sign it at midnight on a convenient holiday or on a Friday. However, the MSM won't cover it no matter when it gets passed and signed. Declaration of Martial Law to follow.

Does this mean I can now go down to the Inner Harbor in Baltimore and not be attacked by gangs of roving youths from the hood?
