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

Posted on 09/20/2009 2:48:19 PM PDT by VRWCTexan

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.

They’re the president’s weapons? He really scares me if that’s how he looks at it.

Be scared. That's really how he sees everything: A weapon for use against Right Wing Extremists in the war for worker's revolutionary anti-capitalist operations.

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 have zero, zip, nada confidence in the outcome of any election as long as there is a single "community organizing" organization in operation. While we are all staring at Acorn, the other 300 branches of "Community Organizations International" (COI) are busy putting the mechanisms in place to guarantee the desired outcome of the 2010 elections. Why else are the demonrats not concerned about the massive outpouring of dissatisfaction that has been evidently visible for the past few months.

You can say that we must get motivated and become poll watchers, but the precincts they need to maintain their majority are already in the bag, since they are controlled by the demonrats and protected by the federally recognized civilian army, The New Black Panthers, and no one who is not a Obambi kool-aid drinker will get close to the inside of one of those, even if it is only to cast a vote.

Other than being totally reckless and dangerous, what are we going to do with all of the radioactive material? Also if we need these weapons in the future it isn’t like we can produce pounds of deuterium and plutonium in a couple of days.

Most likely, a nuclear attack on America would fry more Dems than Republicans, initially. Like roaches, Democrats abound in urban areas.
But after that...
The Republicans would surrender. :(

Makes one wonder if that isn’t why he was sent back to live with his grandparents in Hawaii and be mentored by Frank Davis, the Communist.

Why the hell not, we are now nothing but a target now anyhow. I cannot envision him retaliating after a nuclear attack.

Can he do all that without Congress? I mean, if he agreed to be restrained by the Constitution and existing law.

Another step in eliminating US defenses and socialization of the US economy. Just wondering which state he will sell first.
