Obama’s “Civilian National Security Force” resurfaces
A day ago, at the dedication ceremony of the National Defense University’s Abraham Lincoln Hall, President Obama expressed a renewed need for a civilian national security force. http://directorblue.blogspot.com/2009/03/red-alert-obamas-civilian-national.html On Febuary 16, I noted a little-publicized Department of Defense Directive (Number 1404.10), which establishes a “DoD Civilian Expeditionary Workforce” and rescinds a prior (and longstanding) directive dealing with the emergency use of civilian personnel.
The new 1404.10 cancels the prior directive of the same designation (”Emergency-Essential (E-E) DoD U.S. Citizen Civilian Employees”), which was issued in 1992 under President Clinton. The 1992 directive specifically deals with overseas deployments of civilian personnel. It does not mention terms like “restoration of order” or “stability operations”, prominently featured in the new directive.
In fact, those functions are central to the mission of President Obama’s new DoD Civilian Expeditionary Workforce. The 1992 directive mentions the term “overseas” no fewer than 33 times. The 2009 directive does not mention the term “overseas” in the body of the directive even once.

Exactly - the Cubans who’ve been lucky enough to make it over here can give everyone an education. But Obama’s talk is smooth and actually very clever at hiding his actual plans and ideas.
The ignorant in our country will be the death of our liberty.
