So, absent a Martial Law declaration, it appears the only way to get around the prohibitions of Posse Comitatus is invoking the Insurrection Act. The use of Delta Force as described would be legally prohibited unless there is a ‘secret’ way to invoke the IA, since the focus of Posse Comitatus is to prevent the use of the Army for these purposes.

That's the conclusion I came to after a short bit of research, but I was hoping there was something that I hadn't run across yet.

A question I have, considering the Patriot Act and whatever has been added since then, what if Al Queda or some other international terrorist group is here and acting as agent provocateurs on USA soil-ie battleground becomes USA soil instead of Middle East—is there any loop hole that would allow any sort of military involvement in action against these as part of the war on terror?

I have a vague recollection of articles being written warning that Obama had made USA a battleground or something about he could now use drones to target anyone in USA?

I haven't kept up on this sort of legislation, but I've been assuming that martial law would have to be declared. Although, I was thinking about Waco, was there some sort of military involvement there —or was that just LSM hyperventilation?

Not sure if this is what you were thinking of...the article does mention his refocusing to use drones, but in my skimming of it, did not see it refer to using them domestically. However, it would not at all surprise me if he did make domestic US a battleground.
