He is not on America’s side.

Guess the voters were either voting to end our Republic — or were totally misled.

This might no be as bad as every thinks. From my understanding we have something like 2,800 nukes in our arsenal. We could eliminate quite a few of these and still have enough to blow up the world a few dozen times.

If done properly (which it probably won't be) we could save on the cost of maintaining and storing these weapons. Normally this would mean the savings is passed on to the tax payer but most liking the cost saving will go to something like ACORN.

well,...the military leaders just need to go on record what they think is needed to win whatever is expected, based on growth of militaristic states, otherwise they have failed in their oath. And if the president disagrees, then the american people will decide who is right in 2012. Or congress impeaches.

Has to be approved by Congress.

It will in 2010. 2011 will be a different story.

Thanks for those reminders, pabianice and DownInFlames

Thank God that oBama's blatantly wrong policies are being watched like a hawk and scrutinized; each and every one.

He quickly reached the point where every single policy idea of his can easily be called "wrong" and "should not happen".

Cap n trade, obamacare, closing Gitmo - they should never come to be. The rule of the opposite applies easily.

Well, according to the msm, since the messiah was elected and the evil Bush and Cheney are gone, the world loves us again. Therefore, who needs nukes? We can beat them into plowshares.

Somebody should let Jack Bauer know that it is NOT the Russians that are selling fissile material in the US. We now know that it is Obama. Can we please get Jack focused on cleaning up the right mess??? PLEASE.

If this isn’t grounds for impeachment and removal, as he is tasked with protecting and defending the Constitution and this nation, I don’t know what is.

No one should be surprised. This was not “unexpected”. Nobama continues to get us to third world status.

Healthcare, an Assault Weapons Ban, Immigration “Reform” (AKA Amnesty), and now a surrender to the world by giving up our nukes.

Wouldn't be so bad if I thought he had a credible plan for building up U.S. military strength in materiel, manpower, and morale.

Which, if course, he isn't.

The rest of the article is here:

US plans 'dramatic reductions' in nuclear weapons

US President Barack Obama is planning "dramatic reductions" in the country's nuclear arsenal, says a senior US administration official.

This comes as part of a sweeping policy review designed to prevent the spread of atomic weapons.

The review "will point to dramatic reductions in the stockpile, while maintaining a strong and reliable deterrent," the official said.

He added that it will lead to a greater role for conventional weapons.

President Obama is to meet his defence secretary, Robert Gates, later on Monday to discuss the new nuclear strategy.

Officials say thousands of nuclear weapons could be cut, many by retiring weapons that are now kept in storage.

They say the new strategy will be an important step towards Mr Obama's declared aim of reversing the spread of nuclear weapons and seeking a world without them.
