Obama to call for nuclear-free world

President Barack Obama will call for the elimination of all nuclear weapons across the globe, in remarks on Sunday he hopes will lend credibility to his message in atomic disputes with Iran and North Korea.

Visiting Prague during an eight-day visit to Europe, Obama plans to deliver what his aides have billed as a major speech on weapons proliferation.

Obama, who is making his debut on the world stage, said in Strasbourg, France on Friday that he would lay out an agenda to secure the world's loose nuclear materials and halt the spread of illicit weapons.

He added that he wanted to offer an agenda "to seek the goal of a world without nuclear weapons."

"Even with the Cold War over, the spread of nuclear weapons or the theft of nuclear material could lead to the extermination of any city on the planet," Obama said.

Do you think the evil tyrants of the world, Mr. President, are suddenly going to give trying to develop nuclear weapons? Obama is fast becoming the biggest dunce to have ever held the office. Jimmy Carter may look like a good President by comparison.

The drive bys are pretty much of the same quality as Ebony and People at this point.

Does Herr Hussein not realize that a nuclear-free world would put the US at a GREAT comparative disadvantage, vs. our current position?

Question here - how does he plan to make that happen? The world leaders are not caught up in Obamamania, they are interested in their own agenda.

It’s either Naive or something else. The something else can make your head spin.

Ideally, the world would be free of nuclear weapons. Ideally it would be free of lies, deceit, aggression and treachery too.

Realistically, the world will never be free of lies, deceit aggression or treachery, and therefore the USA must retain a nuclear arsenal.

I had the same thought as soon as I saw the headline. Can anyone be this clueless?
