Today, from the group Stratfor, comes this stunning offer to Iran from President Obama:
"U.S. President Barack Obama said July 7 that if Iran stops its nuclear weapon development program, the U.S, has no reason to develop a missile defense system, Interfax reported. Obama was speaking at the Russian School of Economics in Moscow."
Is the President unaware that North Korea is a nuclear power, and produces long range missiles that it tests and delivers to other countries?
Are there no other threats from terror groups or nations, other than Iran for which an American missile defense mightbe useful?
As for Iran, why exactly would Iran trade its nuclear weapons program, which would give it extraordinary leverage in the region once completed, for our giving up a missile defense system?
Is Obama so delusional about nuclear weapons, that he thinks if we disarm (the proposed agreement with Russia), and follow up by giving up our missile defenses, that the world will lay down its arms, and start singing Pete Seeger songs?

Western China, Honuduras, Iran, North Korea, Afghanistan, Russia/Georgia ... there are troublespots all over the world. America's weakness has been noted and our enemies are pushing forward.
Does Obama see? Does he care? Does he approve?

Let’s end the mythology once and for all that BHO is somehow this naive liberal bambi caught in the headlights.
He is a hardcore Marxist and a man with a plan. And one of his plans is to disarm our country. BHO knew exactly and precisely what he wanted to accomplish in Moscow. His plan has ALWAYS been to trade away our strategic anti-missile defense systems.
Don’t believe me? Just pick up a copy of Dr. Jerome Corsi’s book, Obama Nation.
BHO was perfectly clear about his plans to scrap our SDI and strategic nuclear deterrent on the campaign trail during the Democrat primaries.
Wake up and smell the freaking coffee. BHO is no fool. It is the American people and the MSM who are the real fools.

How do you say “sap” in Russian ?
To: Ooh-Ah
Not ONLY being naive but arrogant too... the nuclear freeze thinking goes that if America didn’t have nukes then no one else would need them because they wouldn’t feeeeeeeel threatened. It totally misses the point that other countries have their own agendas with or without America and usually those agendas work best without America in the way. But this is all about Obama setting up yet another phony baloney fake column show to say lookie what I did.

trade away our strategic anti-missile defense systems.
YUP, and no indepth coverage on this scary action of THE ONE. I do not know if he can unilaterally do this.

Naive? Delusional? No, capitulating to the communists and commie wannabees the world over. Ok, and a little naive.

America's weakness has been noted and our enemies are pushing forward.It's that Jimmah Cartuh naivety and leftism, with a touch of Jimmah's messianic 'Ah can bring peace' attitude. Aaah, and many of us, even if we were young at the time, remember the Cartuh years.
Does Obama see? Does he care? Does he approve?
Yeah, it seems so.
