Every day it seems more like the "war on terror" is at home in the U.S. rather than abroad in a foreign country.
Whether it's the NSA denying they scoop domestic communications while their chief tells hackers "we're looking for the terrorist among us," or it's the growing militarization and equipping of domestic police forces, it seems more and more crows keep coming home to roost.
Well, one former Marine colonel has had about enough.
In a rousing confrontation at a local council meeting in Concord, NH, he calls out his government for facilitating what he feels is a needless militarization of a domestic force.
And he should know, he helped build one in Iraq.
"We did everything we could to build the Iraqi Army, and I'm telling you right now, the Department of Homeland Security would kick their butts."
"What we're doing here, and let's not kid about it, is we're building a domestic army and shrinking the military because the government is afraid of its own citizens ... "
"The last time 10 terrorists were in the same place at the same time was September 11th, and all these [armored] vehicles wouldn't have prevented it, nor would they have helped anything."
"We're building an Army over here and I can't believe people aren't seeing it, is everybody blind?"

Former Marine Colonel To Town Council: 'You're Building A Domestic Army; Are You Blind?'
"We did everything we could to build the Iraqi Army, and I'm telling you right now, the Department of Homeland Security would kick their butts."
"What we're doing here, and let's not kid about it, is we're building a domestic army and shrinking the military because the government is afraid of its own citizens ... "
A MUST READ.... We don't have forever to stop this insanity... or at this point in time - to expose them.
(Thanks for all the pings.)
” “What we’re doing here, and let’s not kid about it, is we’re building a domestic army and shrinking the military because the government is afraid of its own citizens ... “
Correct.
Right...the poster did refer to NSA, which I guess is electronic intelligence gathering, so you were rightly addressing that...but in regards to his “How could they not know”, I was thinking more about specific leads and clues about those terrorists.
As they kill the family dog, terrorize the kids, send in 30 SWAT members to destroy the backyard tomato plants and point machine guns at the neighbors' windows as they patrol your block in tanks.
It's happening...
How can this be surprising to anyone?
He said that’s what he’s going to do, “stronger better funded, etc..”!
He also promised: “We are only five days away from FUNDAMRNTALLY transform the United States of America”!!
Where have people been for four years???
The freedom IS actually up to YOU!!!
Thanks for the new tagline.
Somebody just sent me a link about this - posted on DAILY KOS.
Could this actually be something conservatives and liberals agree about?

This is exactly the issue that people from both sides can agree on.
But remember the perpertrators are an amalgamation of leftists and crony corporatists.
I just keep hoping that there are as many or more of us who serve and have served in the military that we can overwhelm the new bunch of propagandized military and civilian personnel in a patriotic showdown. I have faith and trust that the roots of USA patriotism in any form will not allow the likes Obama and his enablers to destroy the Spirit ‘76 as people like to celebrate on the 4th of July.
There is much that liberals and conservatives could agree on.
* Neither one of us want a 'Domestic Army' to terrorize us.
* Neither of us want the NSA snooping into our lives.
* Neither of us want government to know our private health history.
* Neither of us want Goldman Sachs Wall Street insiders having control over all of our White House committees on banking.
* Neither of us trust the Federal Reserve.
* Most liberals I know do NOT want total gun confiscation.
* Most liberals do not want the militarization of our nation's police force.
* Most liberals do not want DHS checkpoints on our highways, train stations, and airports.
lame.
How about they listen to other intellegence services that were telling them the boston bombers were bad news?
