IS RAND CORPORATION TALKING NATIONAL POLICE FORCE?

Look, forget conspiracy theories for a minute and simply look at very basic facts. In July of 2008, while on the campaign trail, Barack Obama called for a Civilian National Security force "just as strong, just as powerful, and just as well funded" as our military.

Now it's learned that RAND Corporation wrote a book about a hypothetical entity that comes eerily close to that definition. RAND referred to it as a "Stability Police Force".

The SPF would be able to deploy in 30 days. The cost for this option would be $637.3 million annually, in FY2007 dollars.

The best detractors can say about this infamous clip of Obama calling for this kind of thing is that they need more information.
