here we go...The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
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!
Why does everybody still believe we’ll have free elections for very long?
Does anyone need more evidence that the CFR is an enemy organization made up of traitors?

The first use of the military would be scheduled for the day after this November’s vote...if things don’t go Zero’s way.
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!
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.
Continued: from domestic disasters, including terrorist attacks.
The police Mirandizes; the military vaporizes.
here we go...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?
Can we please get someone back in a position of power with a effin' AMERICAN NAME?
Smith? Jones? Hello? Shoot, I'll go for a Bobabowitz!
In most countries in the world, the military exists primarily to maintain order within the country, as a back-up to police agencies that are usually ineffectual against any well-armed gang, to maintain order when there is civil strife, to maintain order after natural disasters, to handle rescue operations, anything requiring specialized skills and equipment.
They perform the functions that our national guard and swat teams perform. Not many militaries in the world are really configured for foreign operations.
But this is the US. All the things CFR and Odierno are talking about have traditionally been handled in the US by the National Guard for most of a century. I don’t see why that is insufficient.
I think we need to be very clear with ourselves, under what conditions are we prepared to see our military deployed on our own soil.
I can think of three. In the event of a major terror attack within the US, such as a nuclear attack. In the event of an insurrection that overwhelms the state national guard and the local police agencies. And to secure the borders.
In these cases I think the president already has the authority to deploy the military, no new law is required. There is no additional authority required for the military to aid in disaster relief. So why is CFR suddenly interested?
Consider who some of thier members are, Rush, Sean, just to name a few, and these are the same people who won’t report on the birther issue.
NWO. We’ve been headed this way since 1989. The ‘R’ and the ‘D’ are just for decoration.
