...Obama had first outlined many of the proposals he talked about Wednesday during appearances in Iowa last December.

"We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set," he said Wednesday. "We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded."
Ummmm...uhhh...

WHAT?!?!?!?!?

A civilian national security force!?!?...That's as strong as the military?!?!?...That will be 10% of the gross spending like the military?!?!?...

It's just Obama trying to portray himself as "strong on Nat'l Sec.". It'll never happen.
