Thoughts about Homeland Security increasing its fire power and armored arsenals here, within the borders of the United States.

The Denver Post, on February 15th, ran an Associated Press article entitled Homeland Security aims to buy 1.6b rounds of ammo, to far too little notice.  It confirmed that the Department of Homeland Security has issued an open purchase order for 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition.  As elsewhere reported, much of this purchase order is for rounds forbidden by international law for use in war plus a frightening amount specialized for snipers.  Also reported elsewhere, at the height of the Iraq War the Army was expending fewer than 6 million rounds a month.  1.6 billion rounds, therefore, would be enough to sustain a hot war for 20+ years.  In America.   (taken from Forbes.com.  You will want to read the full article).

Editor's notes:  Understand that Homeland Security uses around 15 million rounds of ammo annually for target practice.  This recent purchase would supply more than 100 years of ammo for this purchase.  It is safe to say,  therefore,  that this is not the primary purpose for this record setting purchase.  Further,  to put the size of this purchase into context,  we know that this purchase would supply  20 Iraqi wars  . . . . .   THAT is how crazy mystifying this circumstance is.  

And the Left pretends to be curious as to why the Right distrusts the Federal Government and the fat ogre's such as John McCain,  who are running the place.  

Understand that Homeland,  the DOJ,  the State Department and the Defense Department all run their agenda's per the specific approval of Barack Hussein.  The sad truth of this conclusion is the fact that GOP morons such as John McCain and Lindsey Graham are partly responsible for loading up the "presidency" to the point that a sitting president,  whether Obama or whoever,  can serve this nation as a defacto dictator and do so legally and do so now!!
