Barack Obama ready to slash US nuclear arsenal(Pentagon told to map out radical cuts)
UK Guardian ^ | Sep 20, 2009 | Julian Borger

Barack Obama has demanded the Pentagon conduct a radical review of US nuclear weapons doctrine to prepare the way for deep cuts in the country's arsenal, the Guardian can reveal.

Obama has rejected the Pentagon's first draft of the "nuclear posture review" as being too timid, and has called for a range of more far-reaching options consistent with his goal of eventually abolishing nuclear weapons altogether, according to European officials.

Advice to the Pentagon: Slooow leak the response to Obama until 2010. The Dims are going to lose Congress big time, and he won’t be able to implement his unilateral disarmament.

I believe Obama wants a crisis so that he can declare martial law. He is purposely seeking a situation to declare himself dictator

It's what Yuri Bezmenov warned about in the 1980's. He's bringing America to her knees. Demoralization was completed a long time ago. Destabilizaion almost complete, which leaves the CRISIS stage for a full takeover.

Millions of people are going to die because of this guy. It is really hard to fathom how completely wrong he is in every thing he does.

This is from the article...But one official said: “Obama is now driving this process. He is saying these are the president’s weapons, and he wants to look again at the doctrine and their role.” They’re the president’s weapons? He really scares me if that’s how he looks at it.

What I meant was-

I believe many are awake but some are drinking the kool aid still. What will it take for the regular democrats that won’t bash 0bama because it is left vs. right to say ENOUGH? The ones that don’t are communists that want this communist change. So let the small minority of them all move to 0bama Island and be happy and leave us the hell alone.

Yeah, 0bama said that he hasn't seen any proposals yet, but he would be happy to look at them.

Happy?! You can bet your arse that he'll be in a state of orgasmic delight.


shibumi: Read todays Drudge Report.

I think Obama’s skating on very thin ice right now. Being elected commander in chief and actually leading our military are two different things.

“this guy is not head of foreign policy. Congress is.

We need to tell Congress to assert its constitutional authority. it is not his.”

The donks control Congress. If he says zero nukes, they will go along with it.

This long legged American hating marxist may order that he no longer carry the football but how in the hell is he going to dismantle silos in numerous classified places?

You can find every one of them on Google Earth. Numerous sites on the internet have them all mapped out. Like Missile Away

I don't remember seeing anything similar for Soviet/Russian or Chinese sites. Although most of them are probably even more visible on the satellite maps...problem is many of those images are supplied by the Russians, others are aerial photos, which are not available from Russia or China.
