A home-made armored Caterpillar turns Colorado into Palestine?

One and a half hours is not enough to scramble an A-10 Warthog or an
Apache attack chopper to knock out that concrete-armored caterpillar?
What the hell the Colorado ANG was doing?

Damn, if the driver was Musa al-Zarqawi, he could crawl all the way to
Chicago and razor the Sear Tower with confused cops firing pistols
at him to no avail!

Don't tell me this scenario was unexpected. Some two years ago a drunken
guy ran amok with an M-60 tank. He was finally stopped by a static
obstacle, which just like this case, had nothing to do with law
enforcement.

The incompetence of namby-pamby US authorities ridiculizes America all
over the world. Waco, Columbine and many other SWAT or anti-terrorist
operations have been screwed. No matter which agency, US spec-ops just
suck. Everyone is so diligent about covering his/her ass
administratively and kevlar-wise that the job never gets done well and
civilians and officers are getting killed in the end, not to mention the
resulting PR disaster. It is time to learn from the Russians and the
Germans.

The governor and the ANG leadership should be fired with regards to this
bulldozer incident. Sitting idle is not in-line with best american
tradition!


Ahhh, just maybe the military isn't generally used to enforce domestic
law... Posse Comitatus Act and such, controlling use of army and air force
assets in continental US...sort of the idea that the government actually
follows the law...

Yeah, lets fire 'em all for actually following the law.... no real
"Mercun lets little things like law and constitution get in the way of
shooting up some domestic bad 'un!
