Thanks to the McCain campaign for bringing this out, video at the above link, I can't believe that any of the conservative talk show radio hosts or other conservative media have not highlighted this "Obama Doctrine", this is huge and it would reverse over fifty years of American defense policy.
Can one useless reporter ask Barack Obama about these statements, the Great O'Reilly failed to address this, and another rant, can one reporter ask Obama what he and Jeremiah Wright discussed after 9/11, how is it possible they did not have a conversation about 9/11, obviously Obama knows Wright believes America is to blame, sorry for the side rant.
Here is an excerpt:
This weekend Sen. Obama was asked for an example of a time when he bucked his party, McCain said. His answer was defense spending. He says now he wants to increase it, but during the primary he told a liberal advocacy group that hed cut defense spending by tens of billions of dollars. And he promised them he would quote slow our development of future combat systems.
McCain added that recently America has realized that this is an even more dangerous world than we had thought and that this is not a time to slow our development of future combat systems.
This is not that time, McCain said. And thats not bucking his party, thats telling them just what they want to hear.

Jeremiah Wright is the real mad dog
Here is a review video of Obama talking about slashing the defense budget.

This is what would normally be called a dunce. What is Russia thinking about all this?
Obama cuts Military spending
Obama cuts missile defense
“my Muslim Faith”
Wow. I am reminded again that Obama is a tried and true dumbass.
Do you all know if Mc/Pal were in FL today? Where are they right now?
That thought made me vomit a little in the back of my throat. I can't see this clown ever having an original thought that was not influenced by his Marxist upbringing.

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 Americas national defense. Obamas presentation demonstrates either total naivete about important national security programs or he is just pandering for votes among the extreme left.
[Maginnis does an excellent must-read analysis of Obama's suicidal defense proposals-ETL]

I will institute a 'Defense Priorities Board' to ensure the quadrennial defense review is not used ...."
