In a strange video address intended to reassure American voters regarding his military bona fides, Senator Obama ends up doing just the opposite. Among other things, he promises to cut "tens of billions of dollars" from the military budget, at a time when our armed forces are already stretched and in need of new weapon technologies and armor; to "cut investments in unproven missile defense systems," which in reality have already proven remarkably effective; that he "will not weaponize space" even though other nations such as China do exactly that; to terminate the Iraq war just as the surge proves remarkably successful; and he rails against what he calls "unnecessary" military spending. He concludes by promising to remove our inter-continental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) from what he calls a "hair-trigger alert," embarrassing himself via his ignorance regarding our deliberate targeting and launch protocol. Most alarmingly, Obama literally promises to "slow development of future combat systems." Think about the frightening implications of this pledge. Future combat systems are the cornerstone of American military modernization and superiority. Advanced combat systems provide us with better equipment, unmatched situational awareness and communication systems that result in American battlefield domination. Other nations such as China and Russia constantly seek to match our prowess, but we continue to outpace them.

It is past time to go to war on the enemy within our beloved country.
Yeah and I know why...
Save this, you’ll need it:

We will pay in treasure or in the blood of heros.
Obama has chosen the later.
Bastard.
As if space is some sort of "holy ground". Hell, it's the freaking HIGH ground.
What commander wouldn't want to occupy the high ground in battle?
It's like Gen Meade at Gettysburg saying "I will not weaponize Cemetery Ridge."
A teenager in 1970 could be excused for this stupidity. However, Obama is an adult who should have learned the lessons of the 1970s. Sadly he is an assimilated first-generation lout, who is driven by grievance politics.
I am still shcoked at the ignorance or degeneracy of Democrats and far too many independents. I just wish taht we were running real Republic, or at least one who was not broken.
Not the Sicilians. Bless’em.
There is a gentleman who lives done the street from me who is from Sicily. We have what you would call a nodding acquaintance. After 9/11 he erected a flagpole in his front yard. At its base is a carefully crafted arrangement of stone mulch: white stones in the shape of a star on a field of red stones. I think he plants deep purple flowers on either side of the red field. I wish I could check to see if I have described it correctly, but it's dark and rainy now. He put a lot of work into it and I love that he made it. It looks quite classy.
How is someone this dangerous in position to run for president?

I was just reading this on Rush’s site.
Scary.
btt
I keep telling people...but they don’t believe me:
McCain’s going to win this, and by the time the election rolls around, it ain’t gonna be close.
They didn’t think of it so it must be bad.
McCain could find enough information on youtube to make commercials for the entire election season against Obama.
Obama is the Black George McGovern, and he’s going to get beat just about as hard.
President Bush Blasts Appeasers: Hussein ObamaMessiaHamas Campaign Goes Ballistic!
Hysterical Whiner, Hussein ObamaMeshiaHamas cries/moans and screams that Bush falsely accuses him of appeasement and whines, “I’m not an appeaser!”
Obama: "I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems, ....I will not weaponize space... I will slow development of future combat systems... I will institute a 'Defense Priorities Board' to ensure the quadrennial defense review is not used ..."
Then, there will be peace in our time without the evil republicans causing war!
My change is good for Muslims, Islamofascists, Black Racists, and Chrislims. $crew the Christians and real Jews!
Exactly - see my post #54 to Retired Army.
Thanks. I saw a similar article that tells why he’s also the beloved ‘messiah’ of the Palestinian jihadists.
