It all makes sense when you realize Obama is rooting for the other side.

Yep. There's no other conclusion, given that the Sovi... er, *Russians* just announced a comprehensive update of their strategic nuclear arsenal.

It's all in "45 Goals":

45 CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS

1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.

2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.

3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.

4-45:

It’s really nice of him to send a wake up call to a lot that support him, er...used to support him. He’s for change alright. Let’s leave the country as militarily defensless as we can.

As another FReeper said, "I love my country more than I hate McCain."

And, I fear what the dims will do more than I fear what McCain will do.

This Obama novice is a rank amateur idealist with zero understanding of the world we live in.

That will not prevent the sheeple from electing him. Hopeful Change is what they want.

Democrats gut our military and Republicans have to spend the money to build it back up.

Even during a time of war, the current Republican administration somehow overlooked that. Take away the funds spent on the war, both the special supplemental funding and the "Take it out of your hide" spending, the budget probably fell as a fraction of GDP from the "Lowest since before WW-II" levels of the Clinton era.

The long awaited sequel—JIMMY CARTER PART II

B. Hussein will make Mr. Peanut look like a piker. JC at least had some military experience. He served in the beginnings of the "Nuclear Navy". Like John S. McCain III, he is a graduate of Annapolis. Although JC was in the top 10% of his class, unlike JSM III who was in the bottom few percent. Carter spent 7 years in the Navy, including some time spent in graduate studies in, of all things, nuclear physics.

Mr. Obama is a child when it comes to the world.

______________________________________________

No, he is not. He is a stone cold communist. He knows exactly what he is doing.

Sounds like he’s arranging an American Dunkirk for his Marxist friends.

McCain has so much material to use...but will he use it?
++++++++++++++++++++++
Good question. And, if he uses it will he use it correctly and effectively? I’d like to see more fire from McCain.

If you want peace prepare for war.

si vis pacem para bellum

Source apparently unknown. Often attributed to Vegetius. Epitoma rei militaris. 4th century CE. A similar phrase is attributed to Sun Tzu. The Art of War. 6th century BCE.

George Washington also said something similar, no doubt having read the Latin original.

"To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace"
--President George Washington, 8 Jan 1790 (First State of the Union address)
