National and Homeland Security to Merge

0 votes

Oh, goodie. In an effort to make us all safer, President Obama is merging national and homeland security defense departments:

President Barack Obama announced Tuesday he is combining White House staffs dealing with international and homeland security, predicting the change will make Americans safer.

Obama also is creating a new office intended to communicate more effectively with other countries about U.S. security policy.

The Homeland Security Council, created after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, will be kept as a venue for discussing issues concerning domestic security, including terrorism, weapons of mass destruction, natural disasters and pandemic influenza. Its staff will be integrated into the National Security Council.

"These decisions reflect the fundamental truth that the challenges of the 21st century are increasingly unconventional and transnational, and therefore demand a response that effectively integrates all aspects of American power," Obama said in a written statement.

So, does this mean that "all aspects of American power" can be brought to bear upon our own soil in the name of "national security"?

Does anyone else notice that the Admin is responding to a

terrorist attack that hasn't occurred? "These decisions reflect the fundamental truth that the challenges of the 21st century are increasingly unconventional and transnational, and therefore demand a response that effectively integrates all aspects of American power," Obama said in a written statement.
increasingly unconventional and transnational?? increasingly? Did they decide the people were dumb enough for a response without the hassle or expense of actually doing another attack?

Good point. They are

Good point. They are certainly moving quickly to consolidate power. It should be interesting to see if they can pull it off before everything collapses. Even if they do, their reign may be short lived.
