Obama '07: Surge Won't Work
Rush Limbaugh ^

Posted on 06/03/2008 8:01:28 PM PDT by newbie2008

OBAMA: We cannot impose a military solution on what has effectively become a civil war. And until we acknowledge that reality, uh, we can send 15,000 more troops; 20,000 more troops; 30,000 more troops. Uh, I don't know any, uh, expert on the region or any military officer that I've spoken to, uh, privately that believes that that is gonna make a substantial difference on the situation on the ground.

Did you catch Rush's show on Monday ? Rush sounded very concerned about Obama and the radical leftists he would put in charge of all the federal agencies like the FBI, Justice, NSA, Pentagon.In fact, Rush's tone freaked me out . He was really worried about how radical Obama is and the long term damage he cold do to this country and he said those exact words.

Oh, but it MUST not be a worry to us since the "anti-McCain-at-all-costs" crowd has told us we NEED Obama to ruin this country so we can "get back at the GOP"...

Do you mean to tell me that Rush LIMBAUGH actually CHALLENGES our beloved "anti-McCain-at-all-costs" crowd? How DARE he! As if he were anyone of note or authority on the matter...

Russia, China flex muscles in joint war games
Reuters: Aug 17, 2007

CHEBARKUL, Russia (Reuters) - Russia and China staged their biggest joint exercises on Friday but denied this show of military prowess could lead to the formation of a counterweight to NATO.

"Today's exercises are another step towards strengthening the relations between our countries, a step towards strengthening international peace and security, and first and foremost, the security of our peoples," Putin said.

Fighter jets swooped overhead, commandos jumped from helicopters on to rooftops and the boom of artillery shells shook the firing range in Russia's Ural mountains as two of the largest armies in the world were put through their paces.

The exercises take place against a backdrop of mounting rivalry between the West, and Russia and China for influence over Central Asia, a strategic region that has huge oil, gas and mineral resources.

Russia's growing assertiveness is also causing jitters in the West. Putin announced at the firing range that Russia was resuming Soviet-era sorties by its strategic bomber aircraft near NATO airspace.

New Pentagon Report: 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."

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, 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.

Obama Promises to Dismantle Our Armed Forces
by Robert Maginnis
Posted 04/10/2008 ET


(Mr. Maginnis is a retired Army lieutenant colonel, a national security and foreign affairs analyst for radio and television and a senior strategist with the U.S. Army)

YouTube has an undated 52-second clip of Democratic presidential candidate Senator Barrack Obama outlining his plans for America’s national defense. Obama’s presentation demonstrates either total naivete about important national security programs or he is just pandering for votes among the extreme left.

Are you about as sick of these individuals as I am? We have some folks that are chasing this “feather in the wind” theory where Obama wins and the next great age of conservatism is born. I am dumbfounded when I see these people try to pass themselves off as “conservatives” while advocating voting for Obama.

I used to think the best thing to do is ignore them, but I think I am going to just keep coming at them because the more you drill down on their theories, you expose their complete ignorance.

I know of whom you speak and I think we need to start a list and if Obama wins, these folks should not be allowed to post one negative thing about the new administration.

It blows my mind they are advocating giving liberals, not Democrats, but liberals the reigns and they try to pass themselves off as “conservatives”.

Interesting that, for all of Obama's perpetual gaffes and faults that are uncovered daily, there are STILL many on this site who would prefer to see him elected so as to "do as much harm to this country as possible" to wake up the GOP.

"Revolt With A Vote"?

Looks like Communist Party USA thinks Obama is someone who can deliver a *bloodless* revolution.

Amen to that. I think it is time to call these folks out, because we have been giving them a free ride as of late. I had a back in forth with one on another thread and the more and more he replied, the dumber and dumber I felt for actually reading his replies.

Rush really sounded freak out on Monday about the impact of an Obama regime on this country . He was dead serious about how dangerous Obama and his allies would be to our country well being . That GOP being a Phoenix rising from the ashes fantasy talk is so child like. They haven't figured out Obama and Buddies plan change to radically change the laws and institution and the mass media so radically there will be no next time . The radical left immediately shuts up its enemies like us , the new media ,and talk radio and then dismantles the voting laws so they stay in power for ever.
Just ask the people trapped in Venezuela how long it took for Hugo to destroy everything .

If someone is openly advocating voting for BO in order to restore the GOP, they shouldn't have to post anything negative about the Obama administration if they helped usher it in now should they.

I say stand up and take accountability, because these crack-heads advocating this BS now will be the same ones denouncing Obama in January of 09. Guarantee.

Listen to the pundits...its a first in American polictics...a blackman is the Democratic candidate for President...wonderful qualifications, he’s black, therefore he is qualified to be President. A first in American politics...what if if he had two black heads, he would be twice as qualified...and if he had a white head and a black head...what a marvel, a real first in American polictics. What if he had a tatoo of a white toilet on his chest with Hillery being flushed down the toilet, he would be a champion for President...why do I see a cockroach winning the Democratic nomination...how did we get this far down the sewer...

Heck no! I propose we discredit them first and then ridicule and humiliate them. You know...the same thing we always do

I'm just not so sure about the "list" thing.

You are all making me feel like McCarthy here : )

Let me clarify, if there are people that are not happy with McCain, that is fine, I doubt that there are many conservatives that were thrilled with his nomination. But, when you have individuals that are proselytizing a plan to put someone in office in order to set a greater plan (that was contrived at the service end of a crack pipe in my opinion) in motion, I think that needs challenged. We are not talking about voting for the corkmaster of the wine tasting club, we are talking about the president of the free world. That should not be taken lightly.

Trying to silence the political speech of an adversary is a natural trait of someone who is attracted to McCain as a candidate.
