Obama Pledges Cuts in Missile Defense, Space, and Nuclear Weapons Programs
February 29, 2008 :: News

A video has surfaced of Presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama talking on his plans for strategic issues such as nuclear weapons and missile defense.
The full text from the video, as released, reads as follows:
Thanks so much for the Caucus4Priorities, for the great work you've been doing. As president, I will end misguided defense policies and stand with Caucus4Priorities in fighting special interests in Washington.
First, I'll stop spending $9 billion a month in Iraq. I'm the only major candidate who opposed this war from the beginning. And as president I will end it.[i.e. not win it]
Second, I will cut tens of billions of dollars in wasteful spending.
I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems.
I will not weaponize space.
I will slow our development of future combat systems.
And I will institute an independent "Defense Priorities Board" to ensure that the Quadrennial Defense Review is not used to justify unnecessary spending.
Third, I will set a goal of a world without nuclear weapons. To seek that goal, I will not develop new nuclear weapons; I will seek a global ban on the production of fissile material; and I will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBMs off hair-trigger alert, and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenals.
You know where I stand. I've fought for open, ethical and accountable government my entire public life. I don't switch positions or make promises that can't be kept. I don't posture on defense policy and I don't take money from federal lobbyists for powerful defense contractors. As president, my sole priority for defense spending will be protecting the American people. Thanks so much.
Article: Obama Pledges Cuts in Missile Defense, Space, and Nuclear Weapons Programs:
No, the agenda is to enslave working caste people. Inept? Hardly. What are you bs’n about?
He is inept at foreign policy, and at handling the economy- I’m not bs’ing about anything- how about responding without gradeschool insults next time
Nah. You keep thinkin’ that way, genius.
please tell everyone here what a genius dear leader is in foreign affairs, in economics, in anything but destroying this nation- He’s a miserable failure as a president- and I’m not even sure why you’re in this thread defending him as an apt president in ANYTHING? The only reason he has even succeeded in anything he’s done is because the GOP doesn’t have a spine in Washington- Any idiot can screw up a country-
Enough with the insults- I don’t know what the hell your problem is- but I’m not the enemy- the left is- not sure why you feel the need to jump all over people here- the fight is out there- not in here-
You really don’t understand, or- you are specifically trying to appear moronic. Perhaps, you are just a liberal, who cannot understand reality. Well done! Seek help.
Yeah I didn’t think you were capable of rising above playground insults- well done kid!
Mighty stiff words, for a gope keyboardist.
Obama is the face of a well thought-out and perfectly executed agenda. Your supposed smoke screen, of calling him incompetent- is writ large socialist-fascist propaganda 101, punk.
whatever troll-
Obama has done what he sat out to do. He has changed this country radically. We may detest it, but it’s not a matter of incompetence so much as the inability of the right to close ranks and defeat him.
I have more serious crap to deal with than to deal with a troll who thinks this president is brilliant- His record is proof enough that he is an inept president- you can sit there and sing his praises all day long if you like- The rest of us will call it like it is- He’s inept at running a country- He’s so freakin inept that he doesn’t even realize socialism can’t work, has never worked, will never work- Have a great day troll
Troll what? What am I trolling?
Yet- You are seriously responding- because you misquote what I’ve said- and actually think you can. Go ahead, keep writing to me.
it is a matter of ineptitude because he has dragged this country into the gutter chasing an ideology that has proven to be a failure time and time again- It is an unreasonable ideology that only someone lacking in common sense would pursue,-
We were a great nation, we no longer are because of an incompetent president who isn’t smart enough to realize that his policy is detrimental to this country’s greatness- As I stated, any idiot can ruin a country with idiotic socialism- it’s not that hard- but it takes a great man, a man of competence to build it up- The word inept means “to lack sense or reason”- and that perfectly describes everyone who believes In socialism- Bernie Sanders- another inept candidate, believes that taking money away from the rich is all that’s needed to pay for all the socialist crap he wants to create- that is a grossly naïve position to take-
[[Obama has done what he sat out to do. He has changed this country radically.]]
He may very well have done so, but this does not mean he isn’t inept- His policy is severely lacking in sense or reason- He is glomming onto social experiments that have proven over and over again to fail - and that is the very definition of ineptitude-
His actions are “inappropriate often to an absurd degree”, another definition of inept- His absurd vision has destroyed everything this country has worked so hard to achieve- and he didn’t even accomplish any of this on his own- the only way he has been allowed to accomplish this inept ideology is, like you said, with the help of the GOP who sat back and did nothing to stop him- And he had to be propped up the whole time by a complicit main stream media who idolizes him and covers for him
Keep telling yourself it’s all bad luck and/or Obama not doing what he wants to do, if it helps you sleep at night.
Bad luck? Where did I say that? I never mentioned he isn’t doing what he wants to do either- I simply said our president is inept and incompetent- He’s a miserable failure at foreign affairs he’s a miserable failure in wars, he’s a miserable failure when dealing with the economy, he’s a miserable failure when it comes to running the military- These are the 4 biggest issues facing this nation, and he fails miserably, proving over and over again He is unqualified to govern the affairs of this nation
[[if it helps you sleep at night.]]
Yeah, golly I’ve lost all kinds of sleep worrying about this thread- Gee whiz ya got me-
Got cha, boyo. Git phucd.Now
