President Obama will convene the most ambitious arms reduction talks with Russia for a generation, aiming to slash each country’s stockpile of nuclear weapons by 80 per cent.
The radical treaty would cut the number of nuclear warheads to 1,000 each, The Times has learnt. Key to the initiative is a review of the Bush Administration’s plan for a US missile defence shield in Eastern Europe, a project fiercely opposed by Moscow.
Mr Obama is to establish a non-proliferation office at the White House to oversee the talks, expected to be headed by Gary Samore, a non-proliferation negotiator in the Clinton Administration. The talks will be driven by Hillary Clinton’s State Department.

I hope the fools can explain all the nuclear suitcase bombs that will start going off in our cities. Remember the youtube of him saying he won’t weaponize space and on and on. This got no attention during the campaign, but O is trying to implement his plans as he laid them out for all the world to see.
Like it.
How’s the rest of your ditty go?
WHat president would not do all he can to protect his country? I can gurantee that other country’s presidents aren’t backing down on their own defenses. They are laughing at the US.
Sometimes God puts evil, bad rulers in place to punish His people who have turned away from Him. Obama could be our punishemt for becoming a nation that constantly tries to remove God from everything everywhere. He knows Obama will lead our nation down the wrong path and that’s ok with Him because we are being punished for our sins. This is how it looks to me from a Biblical point of view.
We did all of this to ourselves.

For me to sleep requires LOTS of scotch..... sigh
I think we’d win WWIII, provided it comes after His Zeroness is impeached.
Obama will be committing national suicide.
Breaking News please.
This is more important than Obama raising taxes this is national suicide.
Obama's all about "national suicide". That's a goal he shares with his friends, foreign and domestic.
Yep
Barry’s an expert doncha know. He wrote a term paper for a loony college professor circa 1982.
Everyone needs to call their US Senators today and explain the unemployment thing to them. This crap must stop or we will be the new Argentina!
This fool is going to destroy this country. I hope all of the changebots who voted for him can explain to their kids and g-kids why the US lost its world leadership.....
The O-bots want that. They do not want us to be the worlds largest exporter of freedom.They will be highly pleased to explain that to their grandkids
2012... What do Canada, The United States and Argentina have in common? Answer: Everything!
Review Weapons Programs: We must rebalance our capabilities to ensure that our forces can succeed in both conventional wars and in stabilization and counter-insurgency operations. Obama and Biden have committed to a review of each major defense program in light of current needs, gaps in the field, and likely future threat scenarios in the post-9/11 world.
