Obama to call for nuclear-free world

President Barack Obama will call for the elimination of all nuclear weapons across the globe, in remarks on Sunday he hopes will lend credibility to his message in atomic disputes with Iran and North Korea.

Visiting Prague during an eight-day visit to Europe, Obama plans to deliver what his aides have billed as a major speech on weapons proliferation.

Obama, who is making his debut on the world stage, said in Strasbourg, France on Friday that he would lay out an agenda to secure the world's loose nuclear materials and halt the spread of illicit weapons.

He added that he wanted to offer an agenda "to seek the goal of a world without nuclear weapons."

"Even with the Cold War over, the spread of nuclear weapons or the theft of nuclear material could lead to the extermination of any city on the planet," Obama said.

I’d like to see what Obummer actually said, in its entirety. Headlines can show their own wishful thinking.

Global cooperation to rein in rogue states is not a bad idea in principle. It would be in Russia’s interest as well as ours to put a firm lid on the radical Islamonut factor in Afghanistan, because that’s virtually in Russia’s backyard. Not even with a President McCain could we expect to do that alone.

Mabus.

Break it down (no, not a cue for an M.C. Hammer joke):

U.S. (that’s ‘us’)

MAB = BAM

What’s missing?

‘O’ and ‘A’

Something to mull over anyway.

It would be funny if anyone else said it.

It is more than scary when Obummer, the Marxist, says it.

He can not keep a 3rd rate country like North Korea from acquiring an atomic weapon.

He can't stop Iran from acquiring one.

He can't do anything about the future of Pakistan...who knows what will happen there.

So talking about no atomic weapons anywhere in the world is insane.

Moron.
If the civilized world agrees to disarm of nuclear weapons, then only rogue nations will be the owners of nukes.

He’s just INCREASED their leverage and power.

“The president has been very focused on these issues of proliferation for many years,” White House Deputy National Security Adviser Denis McDonough told reporters.

“Tomorrow, I think you’ll hear the president, in a very comprehensive way, outline many of the things that he’s been talking about and working on for some time,” McDonough said.”

I just want to know when some joker spiked my drink and I wound up in some alternate universe somewhere.

How long has Zero been in office? Decades? This is absolutely idiotic and we are stuck in the middle of it.

Or, that it ever really ended. Just look at Putin. The players, and the goals are the same — only the names have changed (that and they had to let go of a bit to re-solidify their nation after their “mistakes”). They were stretched too thin at the time to maintain necessary control of the people...

Same Illogical argument used for gun control and then we all die at the hands of our enemies..\

*smirk* — Exactly, huh? I’m personally re-investigating the whole Anti-Christ prophecies and such later tonight... I’ve heard the arguments against Obama being THE Anti-Christ many times over the last few months, but I’ve got the horrible nagging feeling in the pit of my stomach about it... If he’s not THE Anti-Christ he is most DEFINITELY an “ally”.

Don't get me wrong.
I think Obama is barley above an idiot. I am trying to be nice.
But what total arrogance and silliness to call for a nuclear free world..
That genie is out of the bottle. What do these morons think can be done? Stop teaching science in schools. Kill every existing scientist, imprison or kill every tech that worked at a nuclear plant and on and on.....

LOL, scary stuff!

So Mabus, the new Sec Navy...(who used to be the Saudi Amb), will die....causing the spark of WWIII.

According to Nostradamus, Mabus will soon be killed, and a terrible vengeange lasting 27 years will be wreaked upon the world.

Century 8, Quatrain 77

The antichrist very soon annihilates the three,
twenty-seven years his war will last.
The unbelievers are dead, captive, exiled;
with blood, human bodies, water and red hail covering the earth

If it’s as stupid as this suggests, he’s going to get laughed at big time.

Nobody sensible expects that the US and Russia and China will get into a nuclear tussle anytime soon, the so called doomsday clock notwithstanding. All are rational. All want to keep existing. Good old MAD is keeping all alive and wary of making too many threatening moves. Nukes on subs and fighter jets make the benefit of any “pre-emptive” strike dubious to all.

It’s the 70-virgin certified nuts that throw off the game. They may say they hate the US the worst, because of official support to Israel, but they can’t be too happy about Chinese and Russian tortures of the past either.
