Obama's Budget Eliminates New Funding for Nuclear Detection
Wash Post ^ | 5/7/09 | Spence Hsu

This is very wrong because so far Obama’s Goals:


Free Terrorists
Fund Terrorists
End WMD Detection
Eliminate or degrade protection of Americans
End interdiction of WMD at America’s borders
Impair the US military

This is so wrong.

Not exactly preserving, protecting and defending, is it?

Obama continues to paint a larger and larger bulls eye on everyone in the USA!

Don't ignore Pakistan. He won't prevent the collapse or “retrieve” their nukes. So with those in hand and our sensors eliminated they can just ship a bunch in and skip that whole pesky missile part.

Does anyone, (other than a brain-dead/brain-washed Obamazombie), have any doubts at this point about the true intentions of “Big O” and his string-handlers? The enemies of America have finally managed to take control.

God help us all.

Perhaps this part of the article should be added — “has run into problems. Technical flaws and doubts about the integrity of scientific testing have delayed multi-billion dollar plans to buy advanced spectroscopic portal monitors...”

Can you imagine if democrats bitched and moaned about the technical flaws and testing of our missile defense systems as they were being developed? Oh, wait, they did just that and tried to kill the program.

This reminds me of the episode of Star Trek Next Generation where a Picard clone starts giving increasingly unusual orders until the rest of the crew finally has enough and stops him.

It is a clear open invitation. And the clear and present danger we now face, continues its dangerous dismantling of our national defense system.

So, after killing the contract of Dubai Ports, perhaps the best in the business, to thwart entry of nuclear bombs in shipping containers, the program for detecting the threat by inspecting containers is killed.
