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.

Some of these warheads were already scheduled for dismantlement.Current plans are to completely retire and dismantle the oldest warhead in the U.S. arsenal, the W62 carried by the Minuteman III missile. Retirement of the W62 began in October 2006, and is being replaced by W87 warheads that have been in storage since they were removed from Peacekeeper (MX) missile upon its retirement.

And the State Run Media calls us nuts! NY Magazine's cover story this week (lots on the bc, pissant):



Who Is Barack Obama?
And why do people say such loopy, ugly things about him? The enduring rot in American politics.

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

Exactly right.....This Commie wouldn't retaliate. I don't know the messages Ogabe has sent covertly to our enemies but overtly it has been one of SUBMISSION.

I haven't seen Russia this aggresive in central/south America and Cuba since the cold war.

The only thing that surprises me is that he is moving so quickly. I guess it shouldn’t. Can we survive four YEARS of this disaster?

He is hell-bent on seeing our population as poor, ill-defended, and ill-fed as the world average. That's how Obama wants us to live. In slums.

"I guess we’ll find out what happens when the oath to uphold the Constitution conflicts with the oath to follow orders of the President."

If you will note the Officer's Oath (copied below) and compare it to the Enlisted Oath, you will notice two things.

First, the Officer's Oath specifies only the Constitution, ~not~ the Chain of Command.



An Officer's duty is clear and uneqivocal.


Second, the mention of the President in the Enlisted Oath assumes that he is at the top of the COC, not recognizing the possibility that he (as in this case) is the domestic enemy.

The Military Oath

The Commissioning Oath

"I, _____ , having been appointed an officer in the (Service) of the United States, as indicated above in the grade of _____ do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservations or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter; So help me God." (DA Form 71, 1 August 1959, for officers.)

The Enlistment Oath>BR>
"I, _____, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God." (Title 10, US Code; Act of 5 May 1960 replacing the wording first adopted in 1789, with amendment effective 5 October 1962).

Perhaps - but if you read the entire article it states that obama has rejected the Pentagon's recommendations on a safe level of arms reductions, and told them he expects massive cuts - with a goal to total elimination

There are a whole slew of traitors who do not want the truth to be told on the birth certificate issue.

Many of them right here on FR.
