A way around Posse Comitatus?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posse_Comitatus_Act

The Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1385) passed on June 18, 1878, after the end of Reconstruction, with the intention (in concert with the Insurrection Act of 1807) of substantially limiting the powers of the federal government to use the military for law enforcement. The Act prohibits most members of the federal uniformed services (today the Marine Corps, Army, Navy, Air Force, and State National Guard forces when such are called into federal service) from exercising nominally state law enforcement, police, or peace officer powers that maintain “law and order” on non-federal property (states and their counties and municipal divisions) within the United States.

i think your right, just another Obama end around play.
This way they can do things like round up guns or people without breaking US law, and later it will extend to Mexican as well as other troops.

“A way around Posse Comitatus?”

Yes!

There have been “goofy” youtube videos of foreign troops training on our soil for the last couple of years. Poo-poo-ed by most, but this appears legit. Just another nail in the house of the NWO/NAU. Welcome to the New Soviet States of North America. I’ll bet you didn’t notice did you?

Not just an end around to posse comitatus, but also a way for American troops to waste time on Canadian soil as well.

This is getting larger press in the Great White North, and several of my very close Canadian friends are telling me that they’re absolutely outraged.
