Sorry, i don't know how to link yet, but i amazed at what that administration did or even considered doing.

Edit: I guess it automatically links.

I'm not that very surprised by this, especially the fact that Cheney was behind this.

Invading suburban Buffalo. W. T. ...

Even though its shady news keep in mind they wouldnt deploy an actual platoon or the actual army, It was likely to be Special Forces soldiers handling the suspected terrorists

I'm guessing he figured we'd be welcomed as liberators.

At first I was surprised, but then I got over it. It was just to get six terrorist, but I imagine he was contemplating the military because he really wanted them captured. He decided against it though so that shows something.

[QUOTE="Ragnarok1051"][QUOTE="xaos"] Probably that the White House Counsel's Office mentioned that it would be wildly illegalxaos

It is legal to send troops on domestic soil in the upmost case that it is for the protection of the Constution or the American people.

US Troops would be deployed in the case of a disease outbreak and granted emergency powers of quarantine and such. And in natural disasters, the National Guard is sent.

Also, the military is sent in times of social unrest such as the LA Riots when it became apparent that other people's lives were at stake.

But the government cannot just send troops willy nilly here and there with out due cause or reason. That is where the FBI or local law enforcement come in.

Just skimming over the article, it looks like it was Cheney's idea and Bush was opposed to it. Hey, he has to have done a few things right at least.

The president always gets blamed for everything. In the Depression, Hoover was the better president to fix it, but they went for FDR's charisma. Hoover did nothing wrong, yet people believed he was the cause.

welfare doesn't go to elderly and welfare was so poorly formed that people abuse it and the funds for it will run out soon.

If you want to blame FDR for something blame him for stealing peoples gold, but don't equivocate social welfare programs to the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act, because the two are incomparable.
