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 video is incomplete, and its origin is unknown, although some have speculated it may have come from someone within the Hillary Clinton campaign.
The full text from the video, as released, reads as follows:
...I'm the only major candidate who opposed this war from the beginning. And as president I will end 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, and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenals.

Ha....some change indeed.
Well, the GOP has to do a good job of reminding people that national security matters, which apparently it does not to Obama.
Cut future combat systems (FCS). What an idiot. Just where does he think our superiority and dominance comes from? The tooth fairy, Easter Bunny and Santa Claus? Freaking dolt wants to take us back to the hollow military of the Carter years. I sure hope this does sink him — but it isn’t getting much press.
HUSSEIN Obama wants America weak so his allies in Al-Queda can strike.
But we will have hope.
Yeah....hoping for a return to the PAST!!!!
“But we will have hope.”
And we will have “change”.
B.O. Stinks.
Hope. Hope that our enemies, who have pledged their lives and honor to destroying us, will not keep their word. Swell.
I wonder if all the people who are anti-McCain are going to still “write-in” their candidate knowing we will lose.
I'm the only major candidate who opposed this war from the beginning. And as president I will end it.
I will surrender in Iraq. Pronto.
Second, I will cut tens of billions of dollars in wasteful spending.
I will pour hundreds of billions of dollars down the toilet in a renewed War on Poverty.
I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems. I will not weaponize space. I will slow our development of future combat systems.
I will ensure the Red Chinese get the jump on us. We don't need no stinkin' military. We need hope and change.
He does not need to negotiate with Russia to do this. They are not on hair-trigger alert now. However, he might seek to negotiate with them as a way to give the Russians some big advantage for nothing. He is hopelessly naive.
Gee, why do you think they disabled it??/SC
Well given that they may be made offshore this could be a very very goof thing!
If the fuel Tanker Project stays with French/Muslims , Obama will win as president of the United States.
Yeah well I will have "hope" too. I will be hoping we don't get attacked by terrorists.
"And we will have change."
Yep. Change from strength to weakness.
He sure as hell don’t love this country like I do. CIC nuts this guy should be run out of the country.
