In 52 seconds, he rattles off what an Obama presidency would mean for our national defense; slowing down of existing programs to build new weapons, cutting "tens of billions" of dollars in "wasteful" spending, scrapping missile defense completely, and setting up an "independent defense priority review board" (you can imagine the anti-defense liberals sitting on that board) to make sure we don't waste any money building "unnecessary" weapons.
That's not all. Obama wishes upon a star for a "nuclear free world" and to that end, he will not allow any new designs for nukes nor will be build any new ones. He wants to talk to the Russians about re-targeting our missiles and "deep cuts" in our nuclear arsenal.
This is dangerous and stupid. Slowing down current weapons projects only makes them more expensive over the long term (but it looks good politically because of the money saved up front). He calls the anti-missile system "unproven" - and thank God for that because the only way to "prove" that it works is to shoot down an incoming missile. Recent successes have been incredible - shooting down a target traveling at Mach 7 is no simple matter. And almost every test shows improvement.
Why scrap the system now after spending tens of billions of dollars and when we are close to success? Lunacy!
I shudder when I think his 1960's style liberal friends have a go at the defense budget. Considering the fact they don't think we face any threats, we'll be lucky to keep the Army band.
Then there's his pie in the sky notion of a nuclear free world. Everyone wishes for that. Heck, I wish that the moon was made of Velveeta cheese but wishing will never make it so. And somehow, I just can't picture him and Putin on the same page about much of anything. Obama, the charmer, the ideologue and Putin, the aggressive, canny, ruthless autocrat.
Maybe we can convince a grown up to hold his hand during those negotiations.
In effect, Obama wants to gut the military to make sure we never go to war again. He has said as much on the campaign trail. And if a time ever comes, God forbid, where we would find it necessary to project our power to the far flung corners of the earth in order to protect Americans or American interests under an Obama presidency, I fear the military would be forced to tell him that it wouldn't be possible.
Obama is McGovern, Carter, and John Kerry all rolled into one when it comes to maintaining and improving our defenses. He would be a disaster as president and this video shows very clearly why.
Awesome video:
The same kind of terrorists who support Obama did this:

Never apologize for them.
Never appease them.
Never forget.
And always vote for RINOs?
..because thats what ultra libs do, they are ultimately anti American controlling elitist who know better than anyone else what best for you, although history, time and again, proves how disastrous an ultra lib in power can be
The Democrats have been trying to unilaterally disarm this country for over 40 years (since Vietnam).
Democratic Party defense policy is obvious to everyone,,,and hasn't changed for decades,,,,
UNILATERAL DISARMAMENT AT HOME and TOTAL CAPITULATION ABROAD.
Nothing new here. Nothing new at all.
A massive grassroots organization of Conservatives is the only hope this country has left. If not, IMO, we’re doomed and that means your children and grandchildren’s futures. Welcome to 1933 Germany where people watched evil grow and spread until they were doomed.
Yet Obama would, with the support of MSM, dem leaders and all the other traitors against our country, sit down and chat with those that celebrated that horrible day.... and continue to work to bring us far worse.
John Kerry had a plan: To give nuclear fuel to Iran. Now Obama pledges cuts in our missile defense, space, and nuclear weapons programs.
I'm seeing this sentiment, expressed in various ways, more and more.
Who do you see leading this organization?
To paraphrase a great American, we fight with the team we have, not the team we want. Hence my new tagline.
Berry will do nothing to stop Iran from building nuclear weapons, but he will make sure we are defenseless against them. Americans elect Berry the weakling at their own peril. The last thing we need is a liberal pantywaist running the country at such a dangerous time.
And, it needs to be started now. Not 2 years, and certainly not 4.
And I know people won't like this part: the founders need to urge the election of McCain*, as a stop gap measure to the insane mess the alternative offers. If McCain and the Pubbies see there is a serious true conservative movement brewing, it “might” whip them to get in line.
*Yes, I know what McCain is, and I don't like it. But until there is an alternative before Nov., 2008, which isn't likely, I can't see another choice, and all the whining and moaning, isn't going to change what is.
One other note: on the domestic front, if MommaObama wins in Nov., get ready for reparations for “past wrongs”...
I don’t want this SOB anywhere near the White House - even as a tourist.
In the liberal mind, man is not sinful by nature, no war is ever really necessary, most criminals are victims, and if only all would nations would lay down their weapons war would go away. And those intolerant people who disagree should be silenced.
“A new Conservative Party.” You mean the Free Republic party?
He is also a proponent of UPD (Unilateral Personal Disarmament), aka you giving up your self-defense guns.
put NEWT at the head of the team, include thomas sowell,walter williams, jeb bush,ollie north and for PR RUSH and HANNITY.
McCain needs to remind America of the U.S. Patriot missle systems defending Israel, and then quote Obama on eliminating the missle defense system.
It didn’t hurt Reagan to push for missle defense and it won’t hurt McCain.
The Constitution says nothing about 'teams' or 'parties', or about compromising essential principles.
