New Obama Logo/Islamic Crest DoD Patches?

Department of Defense ^ | 22 Feb 10 | EC

[nysuperdoodle]

Check out the snazzy new logo designed for the Department of Defense's Missile Defense Agency. It appears to be a mixture of Obama's campaign logo and an Islamic crescent.

This is one of those things that makes you say to yourself, "Is this really happening? Can this really be the new patch for the DoD's Missile Defense Agency?" Apparently it is, as the official Missile Defense Agency website confirms.

Is it self-aggrandizing hubris? An Islamic crest? A bizarre mixture of the two? Or just an amazing coincidence?

[ErnstStavroBlofeld]

I prefer the old patch.

[La Lydia]

Good grief. If it is a coinkydink, who ever was in charge of the design must have been in a cave for the past 10 years. Plus, it’s ugly.

[tutstar]

looks like it

If really true…saw it right there on that site.

This stuff does not happen in a vacuum or by accident; so we can guess the Kenyan Clown thinks it is best to promote Islam for going to the moon and space so he and his Islamic brothers in the great cause can worship at the altar of Allah on the moon; putting their arses up seeking communion with their buddies in the Homo-Leninist movement.

Here's the image:

But isn't it a bit late... IIRC Obama cut funding to the laser-based missile defense system.

[GeronL]

Race Bannon posted it yesterday. I am still stuned. heh.

Looks Islamic to me.

[Jack Hydrazine]

It is about as coincidental as the Crescent of The Embrace 9/11 memorial design in Shanksville, PA.

[ETL]

I prefer the old patch.

But the old one (below) has the red and yellow colors of communist China and Soviet Union. Also, what could pass for a red communist star. This one would actually be more appropriate for the obamanation administration.

Obama Pledges Cuts in Missile Defense, Space, and Nuclear Weapons Programs

February 29, 2008 :: News
MissileThreat.com

A video has surfaced of Presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama talking on his plans for strategic issues such as nuclear weapons and missile defense.

The full text from the video, as released, reads as follows:

Thanks so much for the Caucus4Priorities, for the great work you've been doing. As president, I will end misguided defense policies and stand with Caucus4Priorities in fighting special interests in Washington.

First, I'll stop spending $9 billion a month in Iraq. I'm the only major candidate who opposed this war from the beginning. And as president I will end it.[i.e. not win it]

Second, I will cut tens of billions of dollars in wasteful spending.

I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems.

I will not weaponize space.

I will slow our development of future combat systems.

And I will institute an independent "Defense Priorities Board" to ensure that the Quadrennial Defense Review is not used to justify unnecessary spending.

Third, I will set a goal of a world without nuclear weapons. To seek that goal, I will not develop new nuclear weapons; I will seek a global ban on the production of fissile material; and I will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBMs off hair-trigger alert [they are NOT on "hair-trigger alert" now -etl], and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenals.

You know where I stand. I've fought for open, ethical and accountable government my entire public life. I don't switch positions or make promises that can't be kept. I don't posture on defense policy and I don't take money from federal lobbyists for powerful defense contractors. As president, my sole priority for defense spending will be protecting the American people. Thanks so much.

2008 Pentagon Report (March 2008):
China's Growing Military Space Power
By Leonard David
Special Correspondent, SPACE.com
March 6, 2008

GOLDEN, Colorado — A just-released Pentagon report spotlights a growing U.S. military concern that China is developing a multi- dimensional program to limit or prevent the use of space-based assets by its potential adversaries during times of crisis or conflict.

Furthermore, last year's successful test by China of a direct-ascent, anti-satellite (ASAT) weapon to destroy its own defunct weather satellite, the report adds, underscores that country's expansion from the land, air, and sea dimensions of the traditional battlefield into the space and cyber-space domains.

Although China's commercial space program has utility for non- military research, that capability demonstrates space launch and control know-how that have direct military application. Even the Chang'e 1 — the Chinese lunar probe now circling the Moon — is flagged in the report as showcasing China's ability "to conduct complicated space maneuvers — a capability which has broad implications for military counterspace operations."

I was just saying that the old one would be more appropriate being that the Obamanation administration has a communist agenda, not an islamic one.

[ErnstStavroBlofeld]

OK

[Apogee]

Seriously guys, can’t you see it is plainly a missile exploding in the heart of the islamic crescent? ;0

[ETL]

If that's the case, it would be similiar to the old one which had a missile shooting through what could easily be interpreted as a red communist star. I guess Obami the commie just couldn't handle that imagery.
