This Obama's and Pelosi's goal.

Press Action just received a draft copy of President-elect Obama’s agenda for his first 100 days in office. This draft agenda, received from a trusted source inside the Obama transition team headquarters in Chicago, outlines the top 10 priorities of the Obama administration, effective Jan. 20, 2009.
The document is breathtaking in how the list of priorities goes against almost everything Obama promised (or avoided discussing) during his campaign for president. Kudos to Obama! Let’s hope the reactionary forces in Washington don’t derail these initiatives. Please distribute widely and do whatever you can to support Obama as he works to implement these bold, yet perfectly reasonable, initiatives when he takes office. If this is what he’s planning to implement during his first 100 days in office, imagine what he has planned for his remaining time in office. Here’s the list of priorities. Read it and weep with joy!
1. Immediately cease all military operations in Iraq. Order military commanders to ensure all combat military personnel are transported back to the United States within 30 days. Order military commanders to begin the process of dismantling any infrastructure constructed as part of the occupation of Iraq. U.S. civilian and military leaders must coordinate with Iraqi officials and the public on keeping in place any infrastructure that the Iraqis could use for their benefit. The dismantling of all infrastructure must be completed by July 1. 2. Immediately cease all military operations in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Order military commanders to ensure all combat military personnel are transported back to the United States within 30 days. Order military commanders to begin the process of dismantling any infrastructure constructed as part of the occupation of Afghanistan. U.S. civilian and military leaders must coordinate with Afghan officials and the public on keeping in place any infrastructure that the Afghans could use for their benefit. The dismantling of all infrastructure must be completed by July 1.
3. Order Department of Defense leadership to move forward with dismantling all U.S. military bases, posts, camps and installations currently located in other countries around the world. U.S. civilian and military leaders must coordinate with officials and the public from the host nations about keeping in place any infrastructure that the host nations could use for their benefit. The dismantling of all military infrastructure on foreign soil must be completed by Dec. 31.
4. Implement a restitution plan for the Iraqi people to compensate them for the destruction of their nation caused by the sanctions enacted in 1990 and the U.S.-led military invasion in 2003. A third-party organization will be selected to ensure every Iraqi adult receives $10,000 a year for the next 10 years to compensate them for the disruption of their lives caused by the sanctions, invasion and occupation.
5. Impose an immediate cut-off of all U.S. foreign aid to Israel. Request an emergency meeting of the United Nations to discuss an immediate response to Israel’s murderous occupation of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. Authorize emergency aid to the Palestinians, including food, medicine and other necessities, as well as military arms to allow them to defend themselves from Israeli occupation and repression. Inform the Palestinians and other nations in the region that they will have the full political support of the United States to defend themselves against Israeli aggression.
6. Order an immediate end to the U.S. embargo against Cuba and work toward restoring full diplomatic and economic ties with the nation. Implement a restitution plan for the Cuban people to compensate them for the deprivation to their nation caused by the embargo.
7. Order an immediate closing of the Guantánamo Bay Detention Camp in Cuba and the immediate release of all people detained at the facility. If no other nation will allow them entry, the former detainees must be given permanent resident status in the United States and must be given financial compensation for the amount of time they were detained.
8. Grant pardons and the immediate release to all people in U.S. federal, state and local prisons and jails for crimes related to nonviolent drug offenses. Work with Congress toward enacting legislation legalizing all drugs.
9. Suspend all activities at the National Security Agency, Central Intelligence Agency and other U.S. intelligence agencies until activities have been reviewed to ensure they comport with U.S. laws and civil liberties.
10. Create a top-level agency within the Department of Defense with a mandate to defend the environment inside the United States against destructive actions by humans, including destructive actions by fellow agencies within the Department of Defense. The agency also would have the mandate to work with other nations on attempting to clean up heavily contaminated toxic waste sites that have been abandoned by the U.S. military.
“That’s what I always hated about Venice Beach. Too many damn vampires!”
12. Appoint a commission of top scientist to figure out how to turn lead into gold.
No way. This is somebody’s attempt at a joke or trying to scare us all about how radical Obama could be. I still say he’s going to disappoint most of his fans by being too centrist.
That said, we SHOULD dismantle much of our post-ww2 era worldwide defense arrangements. Watch Europe, Japan, Israel, India, and South Korea to HATE Obama if he carries this out too quickly though.
Nice try newbie.
This is real only in the most feverish wet dream of the most ardent lefty.
Disinformation....
Is it live or is it Memorex? Is Obama authentic or a fake?
There is a great deal of anxiety with ZerO because he is
unknown. What we do know of him is that he is far far left.
All we have is symbolism. Lot’s of pictures. He’s like a computer image, not real, a product of political marketing.
Thats a good one.. would be nice if he tried it, I think the boys at the pentagon would do the “I refuse to obey an illegal order because my commander is a NUT CASE”. I can think of other things but I for the first time in my life in America am beginning to fear expressing my opinion.
You and me both. People won’t want to speak out against the first black president, especially elected officials.
Or, like me, they fear prosecution. But I won’t be silent. I won’t be an obnoxious loudmouth in conversation either, unlike Obama fans.
Sad but true.
I will NEVER support this idiot.
This Obama's and Pelosi's goal.
Hoax. Not even worth remembering.
EVERYTHINGS BROKEN
Indeed me dost think there be trolls about this morning!
We need ourselves a kitty-cat about to take care of the mice!
ITS EARLY EHERE
I have no doubt that this is what he would like to do, but I do doubt that he is stupid enough to try. We’ll soon find out.
