"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." Barack Obama July 2, 2008.
In an address to AmeriCorps and Peace Corps, Barack said the above. He appears to have left the script and talked from his heart, however, one must wonder if the concept is clear in his mind. He is speaking about service to the country and getting involved with humanitarian efforts and military service, but then confuses the two by suggesting that civilian organizations take over security duties.
But, there are already civilian agencies participating in national security such as NSA, FBI, CIA, DEA and DHS! Does he not realize this? Or is he talking about starting a whole new civilian agency apart from these? If so, we are in big, big trouble. Double or triple your taxes. Increase the public sector and decrease the private sector. This would be devastating economically and logistically could not function.
Bottom line, I believe Barack once again has been confused about his message - speech written by others with a message he's never thought about before - not sure what he's driving at.
I recommend a NO vote for Barack and a YES vote for someone who knows the issues and has the big picture in sight - McCain.
