STILL WRONG!

First the lie is he can't do it, then the lie is he can only do it to quell insurection.

WRONG!

Look at the SOP in case of National Disaster. When there is a National Disaster declared the President can summon the troops, no permission needed. That is why it is called a NATIONAL disaster. It has been that way every since the great San Fransisco Earthquake in, I believe, 1906.

I think you will see this ability for the "Commander in Chief" to control his forces was further strengthed in provisions of the Patriot Act, and the formation of the HomeLand Security Dept.

What is the sense of having a National centralized HomeLand Security Department if it is hamstrung by the will of 50 different State Governors.

BUT THANK YOU! You point out the fallacy of the great "President can't send troops without permission" lie by pointing out one of the many means in which he could have done it.

Funny, the President only worries about what the "liberals" will think when it agrees with something he wants to do or not do. He wasn't worried about what the "liberals" thought with any of his appointments, his tax cuts, his invasion of Iraq... But when it comes to saving American lives, better not offend the "liberals".
