Obama Remarks On Confronting Terrorist Threats (TRANSCRIPT -- "must read")
Washington Post ^ | July 16, 2008 | Barack Hussein Obama

Posted on 07/16/2008 12:36:37 PM PDT by FocusNexus

In a few moments, we'll open this up to a discussion, but first I'll make a few comments about some of the emerging threats that we face in the 21st century, and offer some ideas about how we can face those threats.

It's time to send a clear message to the world: America seeks a world with no nuclear weapons. As long as nuclear weapons exist, we'll retain a strong deterrent. But we'll make the goal of eliminating all nuclear weapons a central element in our nuclear policy. We'll negotiate with Russia to achieve deep reductions in both our nuclear arsenals and we'll work with other nuclear powers to reduce global stockpiles dramatically. We'll seek a verifiable global ban on the production of fissile material for weapons. And we'll work with the Senate to ratify the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty and then seek its earliest possible entry into force.

I've proposed a Shared Security Partnership that invests $5 billion over 3 years to forge an international intelligence and law enforcement infrastructure to take down terrorist networks.

Read it and weep.

Hussein is delusional -- is he that stupid, or does he think we are? He think he can eliminate all nuclear weapons in the world. He would probably end up disarming us unilaterally, so we'll "lead by example".

And he still thinks terrorism is a "law enforcement issue".

I am not exaggerating, when I say, that his will most likely kill a lot of innocent people, mostly us.

Barack Hussein Obama is a clear and present danger to the US and the world.

"why we must develop the technology to detect attacks and to trace them to their origin, so that we can react in a timely fashion"

Nothing about PREEMPTING an attack by killing the terrorists BEFORE they can attack us. We'll "react" after they killed thousands or even millions of us. Really great policy. Vote for Obama! (Sarcasm, of course)

By keeping our commitment under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, we'll be in a better position to rally international support to bring pressure to bear on nations like North Korea and Iran that violate it.

Logic, common sense, and reality be damned! He can do anything! He's the King of the World!

Obama is a threat to our very survival. I would get banned and the Secret Service would be knocking on my door if I said what I think.

Unfortunately his naive, forgetful supporters will eat this B.S. up - along with our enemies.

That's EXACTLY what he would do. He already said he would eliminate all work on the missile intercept program — both missile and laser based. Also cut military modernization projects, etc. etc. I'm sure he'd cut the military budget -- as badly or worse than Clinton did.

He is not just stupid or a buffoon, but he is the most dangerous potential president — including economics, energy security, and tax policy — this country has EVER seen.

God save us!!!!

As I said, he’ll unilaterally disarm us and hope that N. Korea and Iran will “follow our example” — when, instead, they’ll nuke us instead, knowing that we can’t retaliate in kind.

If Obama would actually sit and look at things that we are doing in the middle east he would notice that by being in Iraq and Afganistan, we have Iran surrounded. May be the next conflict.

Yep, and he plans on doing this in his FIRST term.

It’s going to be a long slog for Americans if this inexperienced and marxist individual gets elected.

“B.O. HUSSEIN is a Buffoon.”
How correct You are !!!
He is truly an Idiot, and a Lazy one at that!
We now know he stunk as a community organizer and took credit(attempted to) for the major work of others without crediting them. We now know he stunk as a lawyer in private practice!
This is the “Best” that the Demorats can offer for POTUS??
The DEMORATS should be Embarressed for their INCOMPETENCE!
B.O. is an Affront to the Image and the Stature of the OFFICE of PRESIDENT.

You are absolutely right.

That’s why we need to make sure to let as many people know, as possible, the real danger President Obama would be to the country and vote for McCain, like it not, because the alternative IS Obama. We have to remember that if a little over 500 people had stayed home or voted third party, instead of turning out to vote for Bush, we would have had President Gore.

The haloed one clearly has a plan for removing nuclear physics and related knowledge from the collective and individual memory of humanity.Sort of a Tower of Babel kind of event.Of course maybe he believes that removing knowledge is as easy as removing data from his website.

This is not the time to teach the Republican part and the RINOs a lesson.

The same narrow margin of votes not given in the 2006 race gave us a democrap Senate, and more D gains in the house than we should have had.

We're paying a desperate price for that hissy fit by “purists” now, if they sit back do it again, they are part the enemy of the US in my book. (see my tag line form 2006 election)
