Obama decides to unilaterally announce secret U.S. missile tests, satellite launches

Obama has decided to pre-announce to the world once-secret American ballistic missile tests and satellite launches.

The Democratic administration's goal is to show a friendlier face to other countries and to coax Russia to do the same.

It's part of a confidence-boosting initiative launched, so to speak, last fall when Obama suddenly abandoned the U.S. missile-defense system in Eastern Europe that had exercised the Russians, though it was aimed at potential future missiles from Iran.

Obama hoped such a unilateral U.S. forfeiture would encourage Russia to put pressure on Iran to halt its nuclear weapons development. So far no good on that.

Why, huh? Why? What’s the point in doing this other than to hurt us? Will the average American voter buy his explanation?

Is this not bold faced treason? Is it not called treason if it’s out in the open?

Note the tone of the article. It seems that even the LASlimes is a little bothered by this action.They even point out the failure of the haloed one’s gooder outreach to Iran. Maybe people are starting to notice.

This may be one of those ‘watch the other hand’ moments.

The launch of Minuteman and all other strategic deterrents have been advertised since the beginning of missiles. This is done so that other nuclear capable countries don't mistake it for a first strike.

This site advertises the Glory Trips from Vandenberg AFB regularly. http://www.spacearchive.info/vafbsked.htm

“Will the average American voter buy his explanation?’

What explanation? He doesn’t take any questions except screened ones.

How can this be seen as anything other than a deliberate dismantling of our national security?
