Pentagon to deploy 20,000 troops inside the U.S. for domestic security.

 The U.S. military expects to have 20,000 uniformed troops inside the United States by 2011 trained to help state and local officials respond
to a nuclear terrorist attack or other domestic catastrophe, according to Pentagon officials.
The long-planned shift in the Defense Department's role in homeland security was recently backed with funding and troop commitments after years of
prodding by Congress and outside experts, defense analysts said.
There are critics of the change, in the military and among civil liberties groups and libertarians who express concern that the new homeland emphasis
threatens to strain the military and possibly undermine the Posse Comitatus Act, a 130-year-old federal law restricting the military's role in
domestic law enforcement.

Only reason why they would do is is because a new attack will happen in the US otherwise i cant see no need for them to deploy troops here. I mean we
all know the US was threatened & so was the UK this is the only possiable reason, the goverment knows something the people dont know aparently. What
does everyone else thing about this ?

Well, seen as how the goverment supposedly has some secret crazy ass intellingence stuff, maybe they know about an attack and arent telling the public
to cause a scare.

Sounds like they expect some sort of attack. Whether it's anything specific or not, who can say.

How many threads are going on this? troops within the USA are quite common i might add
