Did W mean Blackwater when he said this? (SOTU 2007)

And one of the first steps we can take together is to add to the ranks of our military so that the American Armed Forces are ready for all the challenges ahead. (Applause.) Tonight I ask the Congress to authorize an increase in the size of our active Army and Marine Corps by 92,000 in the next five years. (Applause.) A second task we can take on together is to design and establish a volunteer Civilian Reserve Corps. Such a corps would function much like our military reserve. It would ease the burden on the Armed Forces by allowing us to hire civilians with critical skills to serve on missions abroad when America needs them. It would give people across America who do not wear the uniform a chance to serve in the defining struggle of our time.

2. I thought at the time that he was talking about a volunteer, poorly (if at all) paid...

organization of people that would be kind of like a Civilian Conservation Corps.

Except they would be deployed overseas.

But, then again, who knows what the feck the li'l booger means when he's talkin'.

This is how the 'war on terra' will go on, without a draft.

hope this proves to be a tinfoil moment, but i doubt it.
