Freaking hippies.

What a dangerous imbecile. He thinks that if we scrap all of our nukes, then Russia, China, Britain, France, Pakistan, Israel, Indian will follow suit, and that Iran, Syria, North Korea, and Al Qaeda will immediately halt their attempts and reach out to us in peace, love, and harmony.

If elected, all he will do is get millions of Americans killed, and then sit back and scratch his head wondering why, while observing the smoking craters that were once American cities from above in AF1.

My almost 7 year old daughter has more common sense about world politics in her little finger than this man who would be President has in his entire boneheaded brain! Doofus!! >:-(

Now I’m craving a coca-cola!!! :-)

Funny how the mind remembers commercials from decades...er,
years ago. ;-)

United States should greatly reduce its stockpiles to lower the threat of nuclear terrorism

Does Obama think that the terrorists are going to steel OUR nuclear weapons and use them against us? Or does he think WE will use them for terrorist attacks ourselves? Or does he think that the only reason a terrorist would use a nuclear weapon against us is because we have them?

None of those makes sense, but they are the only way his statement makes sense.

to reverse a reliance on nuclear weapons that have become “increasingly hazardous and decreasingly effective.”

First, I hardly see how our existing nuclear stockpile is becoming "increasingly hazardous". In fact, I think they degrade over time, so they are LESS hazardous than before.

On the other hand, I see no decrease in their deterrent capability against actual nations. I have no doubt that North Korea would have nuked South Korea by now if they didn't know we would nuke them back.

So that seems a stupid statement as well.

Putz. You can’t uninvent nukes, and if we cut our stockpile or eliminated it that wouldn’t affect the intense desire of the Islamicists to nuke us into oblivion with bombs on trucks or ships.

Naive moron. Does he think that Russia and China will actually abide by such a treaty? They both have among the worst records in history in actually adhering to treaties. They have closed societies and can keep secrets, while we have an open society and a traitorous press, so we would certainly have to abide by a treaty.

Infantile blissninnie. Does he really think that eliminating nukes will result in less deaths from war? What, there were no wars before we nuked Hiroshima in ‘45? Eliminating nukes will actually make was FAR more likely among the great powers, because it will be less destructive (at least on any given day - over the course of years or decades, it could be devastating and actually kill more people.

I guess that Hildabeast paid him another installment in his “Look like a naive moron so that Hillary looks statesmanlike” contract.

Good Idea!

Maybe after we eliminate nukes we should also equalize our military capabilities to match other similar size nations (or pool our resources under the UN).

Was this first step in a policy of eliminate excellence in the military influenced by the American Teachers Union who want to “eliminate” excellence in education or the AFL/CIO that also wants to eliminate excellence in production?

This is something right out of Atlas Shrugged...

And I’m calling for and elimination of all mosquitos.

And I'm calling for the elimination of mosques.

Please do...it’s good to have handy for “B. Hussein Obama” as Annie C. called him this morning.

[pillut48]

My favorite pet name for him right now is “Ubama”—kinda rolls off the tongue, eh? ;-)

[ropin71]

Hey, he’s copying Nancy Reagan.. (just say no to nuclear weapons) good luck Bama

[Lady Heron]

He already was toast. He had made a similar statement earlier, it just needed to be replayed by the republicans if he had won the primary which was unlikely.

This guy could never have played to the middle.

And I'm calling for the elimination of mosques.

LOL..I bet you aren't the only one ;)

The very last thing that the US should want is a world without nuclear weapons. Our potential enemies vastly outnumber us in manpower, and we no longer hold the dominant position in industrial capacity that was so crucial to winning WWII.

The only viable threat we have to deter powerful enemies in the future is our nuclear arsenal and the means to deliver it anywhere on the globe. If we throw that away in the name of "peace" as naive liberals such as Obama would have us do we will be throwing away our only hope for avoiding certain attack by an enemy who either cheated on the agreement to destroy all nukes or who has the manpower and industrial capacity to wage and win another conventional war on the scale of WWII.

Of course the most obvious nation in that category today is China, but who can say what other nation or nations could develop a similar capacity in the future? Perhaps a consolidation of all or most all of the Islamic states into one nuclear armed alliance? If that ever happens you can be sure that a nuclear armed alliance of fundamentalist Islamic states will not be our friend.

That’s an old creation of mine. I just added Obama to it.
