Transcript: We'll send more college graduates to teach and mentor our young people. We'll call on Americans to join an Energy Corps to conduct renewable energy and environmental cleanup projects in their neighborhoods. We'll enlist veterans to help other vets find jobs and support, and to be there for our military families. And we'll also grow our Foreign Service, open consulates that have been shuttered, and double the size of the Peace Corps by 2011 to renew our diplomacy. We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.

This police force is in America you retard, they are an extra widespread level of police,
Foreign Service, Peace Corps. Do you know the meaning of foreign? Like, not of your country. Do you know where the Peace Corps serve? Abroad. So, the civilian national security force (Foreign Service, Peace Corps, et al) is not in the USA, it is in other countries.

and why do we need military action against ourselves?
Just hold that question. Mull it over. CSS thinks: Why would he suggest that the USA's military attack the USA? Perhaps he didn't, I'll re-read his post. Oh, I see, the fact that I am obsessed with the civilian national security force being a latter day SA within my homeland, has caused me to reveal my inability to comprehend the written word. Oh, shame on me, Bob will think me so foolish! Let me try and nail this for you. Currently, the national security objectives of the USA are being pursued by military actions in Afghanistan and Iraq, the success of which are still in the balance. Obama claims that he will also pursue those objectives via the Foreign Service and Peace Corps, growing and funding them so as to provide a viable alternative to the military approach, a civilian approach. Within the context of this speech, "civilian national security force" means the Foreign Service and Peace Corps. All other interpretations I have read are paranoia.
