Bush wants his domestic SysAdmin force-now!

Bush wants to build a massive military force on our own soil (Police State anyone?). While I do not agree with every conclusion in the source article (I do not think it uncovers Bush's full intent), I really apreaciated this quote:

"Meanwhile, Bush demonstrates his continued willingness to bite off more than the GOP is comfortable chewing. He is definitely moving into LBJ range. In the end, he will outdo Reagan in his massive expansion of the federal government."

By the way, Thomas Barnett (the author of the article) is the author of a book titled "The Pentagon's New Map [for globalization]." I do not agree with his vision for the future, but he has great insights into what is going on in the world as far as the US military is concerned (the US military is being sold to other countries [in his words] as a "service"). Seems like an expensive service to me; paid for with the blood of our country men.
