BP Oil Spill in Gulf of Mexico Needs “Socialism”?

I just read a blog entry on the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico that has me a little steamed. The blogger states that all we need is for the Navy to come in and put well placed explosives on the well head to cap the well. I agree with this point and I agree that the Navy has the capability to do just that. The blogger goes on to state that we need the President to follow in the footsteps of President Bush and override the posse comitas act of 1878 in order to use the Military for this function. The posse comitas act of 1878 (http://codes.lp.findlaw.com/uscode/18/I/67/1385) reads as follows:
18 U.S.C. § 1385 : US Code - Section 1385: Use of Army and Air Force as posse comitatus
Whoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army or the Air Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.
A posse comitas is a temporary police force. We are not talking about using the Military as a temporary police force; we are looking at expertise in an area that is needed to prevent more damage ecologically and economically. The blogger went on to state ““Socialism” gives us the moral authority and legal precedent”. There it is, in black and white, the progressive attitude to use any emergency to push their agenda. The problem is, that most Americans will not take the time to look into what the law really says about who is responsible and who can be used to combat the issue. In the case of this oil rig, it was owned by BP, otherwise known as British Petroleum, you know, the one that has interests all over the globe and headquartered in London. Yes, I mean, London, England, not in the USA. The oil rig itself was located 50 miles offshore. Territorial waters extend out to 24 nm (increased by President Clinton in 1999) and Exclusive Economic Zones extend out to 200 miles. In reality, the rig itself is not in the territorial waters of the US. I only point that out to give reference to what is going on. To sum up the situation, we have an oil rig outside of the United States territorial waters, owned by a global company that is headquartered in London, England, spewing oil that is threatening the shores of the United States, which will have an impact on oil prices, the fishing industry and future off-shore oil drilling that will further put us dependent on foreign oil, and this blogger is calling for “Socialism” in order to use the best resources available to take care of the problem?! This is exactly what the progressive movement wants to further their cause, never let any crisis go to waste. Send the Navy in to cap the well, send in whoever it takes to cap this well and charge BP an arm and a leg when it’s all over, we have the ability, the right and moral authority to take care of this. As for a legal precedent, so far I have found very few legal precedents that were actually legal per the US Constitution, they may have set a precedent but only because the Judge that ruled on it ruled the way he wanted to interpret the law.
If I have offended anyone with this post, especially the blogger whom I left unnamed, good, it’s about time I started offending people in the course of my defense of our nation and our Constitution
