A SERIES OF EVENTS LEADING TO EXPANDED DOD POWERS

The Council of Governors is not a complete bolt out of the blue, but another step in a series of events. The first recommendation of the Council came in a May 2007 commissioned report on the National Guard and Reserves by Arnold Punaro. The review noted that the Guard was short almost $40 bil in supplies and equipment due to committments since the 911 attack, and that individual governors had been “slighted”. The commission recommended a creation of the Council of Governors so that “… governors could provide direct input on National Guard issues to the executive branch.”

I hold to my position that Obama is actively seeking Civil War II. He has done much to prepare for it, and he is doing much to ignite it.

We're going to be the Balkans.
