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.

He can’t finalize any ams control treaty with the Russians without senate approval, and that would require 67 votes in favor. Not gonna happen even if the dems have 59 - 60 in their caucus, no way.

Let me guess.. he’s doing this in hopes of later obtaining a vague gesture from Russia and China about doing same? This a**hole is chamberlain and carter (non-capitalized intentionally) rolled into one.

I think it is a done deal but 0bama’s media won’t report it now to ruin his U.N. General Assembly announcement of this...

And they said Bush enbarrassed us. The irony!

A friend of mine told me that years ago President Clinton unilaterally disarmed many of our nuclear capable warheads. He would have them ‘retro-fitted’ for conventional explosives (even though we had plenty of conventional weapons) and then he used them in Iraq. That way, he could disarm without any ‘approval’ whatsoever. I would not be surprised if Obama is already continuing this ‘effort’(or worse) behind the scenes.

He is such a useful idiot that he doesn’t realize that his “heroes” will in the end eat him.

We have a pro-communist MOLE in the White House.....

.....the only question is, how far will he get towards goals?

I'm hoping the Armed Forces recognize this and have secret plans to weather and outlast this usurper.

I remember hearing this.

The question is what safety measures are put in to stop this sort of thing? Nothing? Does commander in chief RULE carte blanche?

I hardly ever go there except to put new pictures for family and friends. I didn’t know you could link pictures from there to FR like you do with Photobucket or others. Is that what you are saying that you can do?

Soros has spoken. This is the scary stuff. This is the harm in letting in a little socialism (for those who asked earlier this year, "What's wrong with a little socialism?") There is no such thing as a little socialism. This is a dangerous road we tread.
