One For The Posse

When you think of the countries around the world that have used military force to suppress their own citizens, which countries come to mind?

China?
Myanmar?
Chile?
Indonesia?

To the list above, you may want to add one more. From armytimes.com:

Beginning Oct. 1 for 12 months, the 1st BCT will be under the day-to-day control of U.S. Army North, the Army service component of Northern Command, as an on-call federal response force for natural or manmade emergencies and disasters, including terrorist attacks.
...
They may be called upon to help with civil unrest and crowd control or to deal with potentially horrific scenarios such as massive poisoning and chaos in response to a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or high-yield explosive, or CBRNE, attack.
...
The package includes equipment to stand up a hasty road block; spike strips for slowing, stopping or controlling traffic; shields and batons; and, beanbag bullets.
...
“If we go in, we’re going in to help American citizens on American soil, to save lives, provide critical life support, help clear debris, restore normalcy and support whatever local agencies need us to do, so it’s kind of a different role,” said Cloutier, who, as the division operations officer on the last rotation, learned of the homeland mission a few months ago while they were still in Iraq.

We are curious about a few things:
1) Whatever happened to Posse Comitatus?
2) Do you remember Bush's recent order in which he granted enormous powers to himself in the event of an "emergency"?
3) At what point will the looming economic disaster facing this country be declared an "emergency"? Before or after the scheduled November election?

Did you really think--after what Bush has done to this country--that he would simply fade quietly into the sunset?
