"Civilian National Security Force"
Does anyone have info on what Sen. Obama meant by this?

All I know is the soundbite, but would appreciate info if he elaborated.

Thanks.

2. I think it may have had to do with the National Guard, or some of the domestic law enforcement

3. Isn't that the special ops unit that will herd the freepers to the re-education centers?

4. It is a soundbite from his July 2nd speech in Colorado Springs, CO
http://blog.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/06/30/obamas_patriotism_speech.html

Transript of his speech. If you google "Civilian National Security Force" all links point to this speech.

6. I believe he means "obligatory national service" for men and women.
"In remarks that clearly pointed toward the restoration of the military draft under an Obama administration, the Democratic candidate said Thursday night that his job as president would include demanding that the American people recognize an “obligation” for military service. “If we are going into war, then all of us go, not just some,” Senator Barack Obama declared."

http://www.wsws.org/articles/2008/sep2008/obam-s13.shtml

I stipulate that I do not believe this means "draft into military service" will be vivified under President Obama. I believe he means to establish a civil equivalent to military service that doesn't, by definition, see foreign combat. This fits with his position, with which I agree, that men and women should both be called upon to serve their country in times of need.

9. Firemen, Police, etc. If you look at the video, he was speaking to firemen, I think.
This is just another Matt "I'm buggering Murdock" Drudge lame attempt at making a non-story relevant. He and Murdock are shitting in their pants about the return of the Fairness Doctrine. I can't wait for the corporate media to have to CHOKE on providing equal time for all views. In one fell stroke, with the Fairness Doctrine, our airwaves will return to a true balance and civility.
