On July 2, 2008, Sen. Barack Obama was apparently quoted as saying the following:
"We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."
He also proposed to double the size of the PeaceCorps, and quadruple the size of the AmeriCorps.
An engaging piece by World Net Daily's Joseph Farah begs to question why more people are not alarmed by these proposals, and why there seems to be very little attention by other media.
What I find even more troubling than Mr. Obama's proposal for a "civilian national security force" is how it is doubly alarming due to the qualifier that precedes this proposed force. His statement, "We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set", speaks volumes and is equally deafening in volume.
The core function and resposibility of the United States Government is to provide for the National defense. Currently, the U.S. Military, all branches, serves to facilitate such provision. If, as Mr. Obama so ridiculously claims, we can no longer "rely" on that Military, then he is bluntly stating that the core function of our U.S. Government must be usurped.
Or am I reading too much into his words?
"Just words", right?
