More than a century ago, Teddy Roosevelt defined American leadership in foreign policy. He said America should walk softly and carry a big stick.
Intentional on Kerry's part???
Seems Kerry has a big habit of copying other peoples speeches
This provided the infantrymen an opportunity to conduct patrols in a mountainous residential area where interaction with the local population was inevitable.
This exercise was one of the final training evolutions during TRUEX before the Marines headed back to Camp Lejeune, N.C., and prepare for their deployment later this summer.
I know our troops need to be trained, but this makes it look like their training for Martial Law.
I hope the town OK'd this.
Does Posse Comitatus come in to pay here?
I can't even imagine what DU'ers would do w/ this story.
If we (God forbid) do get hit really hard by another terrorist attack .. there may be a Martial Law in place
We all need to be prepared for any and all possibilities
I too think ML might be placed upon us if something terrible happens in the future, but I'd rather see a citizen Militia form in order to protect their towns.
Maybe even work in concert w/ the Military.
Do you remember the aftermath of Hurrican Andrew in South Maimi?
There was "martial law" there but armed citizens had to defend themselves from looting. (the pre-FR/internet picture of the little miami kid holding the street sweeper is still priceless)
I agree, it is uncomfortable but this should be paired with OFFERING citizens the opportunity for training on how to protect their home when there is no available communications or police protection. The military are not police.
Not realy I was up in IL then.
I'd like to see that pic if you got it.
The picture is pre-internet from August of 1992.
South Dade countey was erased. Pictures could not do it justice. The devastation was near complete. No traffic signs, no wire polls, no water, just nothing. Some homes were just plain gone with others roofless shells.
(no wather meant no bathrooms) The local authorities were focused on keeping some order and this left the homes to fend for themselves. No telephone and no cell towers. Even with national guard and police, you were on your own security wise.
Regarding for oil for food. Would we get more milage on the Oil For Food scandal by promising to help cover the humiliation of Cofi/UN? Just a thought.
I would rather vote for exposing all, but I can see the advantages of the other concept.

LOL! A caller on WJ just called to thank Marcy Kaptur(D-OH) for her efforts on behalf of the WWII Memorial, but had to then smack her down on her leftist politics! Just before his call she said that we had "an economy teetering on recession", which he instantly refuted with the 4.4% growth figure. I'm not sure if it was also him, but she was also taken to task about how if she had voted to open ANWR in '97, we would be getting the oil today. Her response was to say we have to save that oil in the ground for the future when we will really need it because we are such a "wasteful country" and besides it's only a years worth anyway. :-/
