Hark!
In the distance you can hear libtards’ heads explode *pook* *pook* *pook*
This doesn’t change a thing — the fuhrer’s handlers want complete power. This is a holding action.
This is a good pick by Obama. After all, who else is there on his ticket who can understand military action, Bill Ayers?
I was reading this just before I saw this post. Maybe Obama see’s Gates as willing to go with his Civilian National Security Force?
Defense Secretary Robert Gates on Monday ordered his top department leaders to conduct a broad review to determine whether the military, National Guard and Reserve can adequately deal with domestic disasters and whether they have the training and equipment to defend the homeland.
The 41-page memo signaled an acknowledgment that the military must better recognize the critical role of the National Guard and Reserves in homeland defense, but stopped short of requiring many specific policy changes.
In response, Gates said that indeed the Guard and Reserves are an integral part of the force and have assumed a greater role in military operations. And he pressed his top leaders to review the training that active duty and reserve troops receive for homeland defense and civil support missions, as opposed to the warfighting now consuming them.
Most of the National Guard units have been in Iraq so how are they unprepared or untrained for homeland defense?
So much for “change.”
At least we can take comfort in knowing that the moonbats who were so overjoyed at Obama’s election are now in distress that their Messiah is retaining the man who ran the Bushitler’s war crimes to make money for Haliburton.
