PRAGUE Just hours after North Korea launched a long-range rocket, President Barack Obama called for "a world without nuclear weapons" and said the United States has a moral responsibility to lead the way, as the only nation ever to use them.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Speaking to Iran, the other nation widely thought to be pursuing nuclear weapons, Obama reiterated his campaign pledge to engage the Tehran regime, winning applause for saying, We believe in dialogue.

Bush/Cheney left- the grown ups- and now the children are in charge. The world sees this as plainly as we all do and they are laughing and rubbing their hands with glee.
He seems to get really carried away with himself when he is overseas.
Does he really think Iran or N.Korea would give up their nukes if they have them. Does he believe that Russia will not be cheating before the ink is dry on the treaty?
“winning applause for saying, We believe in dialogue.....
Sample Dialogue.....
Them: “We are going to kill you with our nukes right now!”
Us: “ Oh, Sh*t.”
End of script, end of U.S..
When the Cambrian measures were forming, They promised perpetual peace.
They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
But when we disarmed They sold us and delivered us bound to our foe,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "Stick to the Devil you know."
I like that - mind if I borrow it?
I insist on it.
He’s going to wind up getting us all killed.
Is there some clause we can impeach him for being a naive idiot?
Great quote, but it would go right over the top of his head.
Watch Hilary negotiate the worst deal in history for the US, Obama will sign it.
How about a world without abortion.
Hopefully, they'll go towards turning South Korea's DMZ into beachfront property.
Realistically, they'll go nowhere. As few as 100 nuclear weapons could render even the largest of nations into a poisoned, medieval basket case for centuries. That threshold is far lower with most nations.
What President Obama doesn't understand is that the prospect of making your enemies extinct, or turning their land into a poisoned, medieval basket case for centuries, is a very attractive prospect within human nature. With a little guidance, that urge can be civilized and suppressed, or it can be fed and nurtured, but either way, it exists.
Getting rid of the weapons is pointless. Even if you destroyed them all, the knowledge to create them cannot be uninvented. Someone could recreate them, and eventually, someone will.
There are a few scenarios on how to exist in a world with nuclear weapons. None of them sound good; none of them are good. Obama's scenario, on the other hand, sounds nice, but is completely impossible.
Hes going to wind up getting us all killed.
Some of us, maybe. But think about it. The most likely places to be hit by a coordinated effort (and I think that's what will happen...several bombs, suicide, roadside, whatever) are New York, San Francisco and the most vulnerable, I believe, Washington, DC.
If Washington, then people will die who have close connections to the ruling class. That will change perspectives.

If only the children WERE in charge. I know a Boy Scout troop that would do an admirable job of leading the United States. One lad in particular would make a great C-in-C, he’s great with video games and always wants the latest weaponry when he’s blasting away to get to the next level. Perfect.
No, the children aren’t in charge. The Lunaticks are in charge of the asylym. And several of them are sociopaths. The one in charge — The Great Pretender — has delusions of grandeur: he thinks he’s the Messiah.
Exactly. What sort of fantasy world does Obama line in.
Bamster refuses to learn from the English
Fuhrer Obama is NOT NAIVE...
STUPID, Maybe.. Ignorant, Unlikely ...DANGEROUS, Definitely
"This rearry too easy."
What an IDIOT! He gives this speech after NK. launches
it’s multi stage rocket fully ignoring the weakling Obama.
As for Hillary, I guess North Korea is’nt impressed.
A real slap in our face and Obama blames America.
