Obama's vision of nuclear-free world drawing fire - Obama finds resistence on removing nukes

The timing of the administration debate is crucial,

What debate? This despot doesn't need no 'stinkin debate. Remember how much "debate" he allowed over his auto industry takeover? His Stimulus bill? His health care takeover? And remember his position on AGW, how the time for "debate is over" as the "science is in..."

And what debate on Copenhagen? Note how Gibbs called concluding that Mann's fraudulence implicated further that the support for AGW was weak, "silly". Well for those who actually read and know about science, a lot of it is in, but it does not support the marxists for concluding in AGW. And Obama does not appear to be interested in hearing about the science...or any debate...on anything for that matter. He is a Marxist leftist...and leftists don't want to be bothered with facts, their minds are made up.

Just like it is about nuclear defense. He made up his mind that missile defense was a waste, so he has been slashing it. He made up his mind that we are to blame somehow for all the other people in the world seeking nukes, and if we just go naked...well...we will encourage them to do the right thing.

What they will do, and promptly after our deterrent is gone, is nuke us.

But of course, in Obama's view...we deserve it.

And as for that "oathe of office thing" that is just for kids.

Clinton Demurs On Obama’s Nuclear Stance
She Says It Is Unwise to Rule Out Using the Arms Against Terrorists

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton drew another distinction between herself and Sen. Barack Obama yesterday, refusing to rule out the use of nuclear weapons against Osama bin Laden or other terrorists in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Clinton’s comments came in response to Obama’s remarks earlier in the day that nuclear weapons are “not on the table” in dealing with ungoverned territories in the two countries, and they continued a steady tug of war among the Democratic presidential candidates over foreign policy.

Just BS the world into believing we have reduced the number of missiles Obama...the same way you BS the world into believing your economic recovery package was effective.

[a fool in paradise]

It’s a religion to him to see the US disarmed. We have to maintain our nuclear arsenal. One way to downsize is to let the numbers dwindle through atrophy.

[RC one]

You wanna watch a liberal's head explode? Throw something along the lines of this into the nuclear disarmament debate: "nuclear weapons have saved more lives than penicillin" (that always sucks them in to the argument). Then, you lay this on the poor fools: "what was the world doing before there were nuclear weapons?" Oh that's right, they were waging total global war which was resulting in the detahs of countless millions of people. Now, what has the world not been doing after the introduction of nuclear weapons? Waging war total global war which would otherwise be resulting in the deaths of countless millions of people. You see, nuclear weapons ended total world war and; therefore, have saved hundreds of millions of lives. Then stand back a good safe distance and watch the head explode. liberals head exploding after realizing that his political belief system is false just like the conservatives have been saying for all those years.

[Dark Wing]

And Democrats wonder why people think they are weak on defense.

[JohnQ1]

Great thought. The formerly mainstream media will deny any embarrassing truth, but I’d still like to know it.

Good luck relocating. Wish we could join you. Too many responsibilities.

Gotta go to supper. Take care.

Thanks a fool in paradise.

...from officials in the Pentagon and other U.S. agencies, posing a threat to one of his most important foreign policy initiatives... Congress called for the nuclear review, the third such study since the end of the Cold War, and placed the Pentagon in charge. Similar reviews were conducted near the beginning of both the Clinton and the Bush administrations, but Obama's is the first in which substantial changes stand to be made both in the number of U.S. nuclear weapons and how they are used. The government maintains an estimated 9,400 nuclear weapons, about 1,000 fewer than in 2002.

Damn that warmonger Bush! ;') I loved this -- "one of his most important foreign policy initiatives" -- the only things in that category were things entirely in his control, such as stopping missile defense deployments in former Warsaw Pact countries which are now US allies, and that was something that hadn't yet happened.
