Did Obambi say he wanted to start a civilian security force as big and strong as the Army?

AMNESTY International yesterday warned that arming civilians and militias in Mindanao against Muslim rebel attacks could escalate the violence there.

That's the point of arming them you morons! These girlymen at Amnesty really need to think before they open their mouths.

Amnesty International is very upset because this could impede the Muslim conquest of the Phillipines.

Oh no, we certainly wouldn't want the violence to escalate! That would be awful!

Sheesh.

Yes, you would not want innocent citzens killing all those Muslim terrorists, because that might hurt Amnesty International’s income and job security!!!!!

PRECISELY!

One side armed = enslavement, tyranny or massacre

Both sides armed (depending on weaponry, guts and training about equal) = fair fight!

God forbid there should be a FAIR FIGHT anywhere on earth.

Exactly. An increase in violence is what war is about. Only an increase in violence will be able to crush the Islamic fanatics. War is one of the best methods of conflict resolution ever invented.

the muslims been slaughtering people there forever,,they make peace only to re-arm,gee,,where have we seen that? the filipinos are very forgiving and have paid a dear price for being nice to the muslims,arming citizens would stop them from terrorizing them I think.

AI is a bunch of “stick your head in the sand and hope for the best” kinda guys. They like to rely on “hope” that maybe the bad guys will just go away and not hurt you.

The USA should simply ignore all these NGO’s like this: the UN, Amnesty, the many lefty wing so called foundational agencies that push their noses into American foreign and domestic affairs when they have no moral , educational, economic cred themselves. The dickens with them . And I am not an isolationist but I tend to get a bit tired of all these outside groups, like Doctors without Borders criticizing American efforts on all levels but not doing the same with the totalitarian states who really hurt the world’s efforts for peace.

You beat me to it. Arming the innocents could result in the sudden deescalation of violence with the immediate deaths of jihadists.

Not exactly. He said he wanted a Civilian National Security Force double the size of the Peace Corps, nearly quadruple the size of AmeriCorps and the size of the nation's military services, the 2007 U.S. Defense budget being $439 billion dollars worth. And he wants four times that?

Of course, he's not the only one. The plan originated with Bush Defense Secretary and Globalist Robert Gates.

I think he meant a civilian political indoctrination force.
