As Governor I fought the Obama Administrations plans to cut funds for missile defense in Alaska. So imagine how appalled and surprised I was to read this article by former Clinton CIA Director James Woolsey, appropriately titled Giving Away the Farm, concerning President Obamas latest bizarre actions relating to missile defense.
President Obama wants to give Russia our missile defense secrets because he believes that we can buy their friendship and cooperation with this taxpayer-funded gift. But giving military secrets and technologies to a rival or competitor like Russia is just plain dumb. You cant buy off Russia. And giving them advanced military technology will not create stability. What happens if Russia gives this technology (or sells it!) to other countries like Iran or China? After all, as Woolsey points out, Russia helped Iran with its missile and nuclear programs. Or what happens if an even more hardline leader comes to power in the Kremlin?
We tried buying off the Kremlin with technologies in the 1970s. That policy was a component of detente, and the hope was that if we would share our technologies with them, they would become more peaceful. Things, of course, didnt work out that way. The Kremlin took western technologies and embarked on a massive military building program. History teaches that peace comes from American military strength. And a central component of that has always been technological superiority. Why would President Obama even dream of giving this away?
Members of Congress saw how foolish President Obamas gambit was, so they put a section in the defense appropriation bill that specifically forbids the federal government from spending money to share these technologies with the Kremlin. President Obama actually threatened to veto the defense appropriation bill over this section of the law! Fortunately, the House passed the bill with a veto-proof majority, a whopping 322 to 96. Attention now turns to the Senate.
Why is it that President Obama seems to work so hard to give things to our enemies, while at the same time asking friends and allies like Israel to make sacrifices?
During these tough economic times when we are facing massive deficits and a competitive global economy, does President Obama really want to give away technologies that the American taxpayer paid lots of money to develop? Giving away our missile defense secrets wont make us safer. What it will do is create a situation where we are facing an arms race with ourselves. Russia gets access to our technologies, and we are forced to spend even more money because of the need to stay ahead. Does this make sense to you? Me neither. File this under WTF.

Awwww. Thank you!! Its these little things I havent quite mastered yet :). Yes, the box is a little much. Thats the one thing I cant manage for the kiddos.
Dangit...you beat me to it.
Is Clinton the man behind the curtain in this current administration?
When will Monica Lewinski be visiting the WH.....soon???
Obama’s latest mantra, “Winning The Future.” WTF.
Sort of like, “Kinetic Military Action.” KMA.
And a bit like his scratching his nose with his “bird” finger. [censored] you.
These cannot be accidents.
Way to go! Discard our best, brightest hope because of a misunderstanding on your part. Is Romney your guy?
I hate the chat feature! I just caught my brother chatting with a girl he wasn’t supposed to talk to because she told the school she was “afraid of him”; (yet called him that night! The conversation between her mom and my mom was not pleasant, to say the least. lol). My mom was monitoring his FB posts, but didn’t realize the chat feature was there because she never uses it. It’s a dangerous world out there for kiddos.
Of course it is! IMO, Bill Clinton should have been tried and executed for transferring all our nuclear technology to the Chinese. There never is any justice in this life, it seems. Bob
We ain´t seen nothing from this islamist pigdog yet.
It’s a take on the Punk’s “Win the Future” slogan. I hope that our voters will not be so prissy that they will reject America’s brightest light b/c of a “WTF” remark! Bob
Sounds like you're in there somewhere.
Wait until we see his list of pardons!
be sure to vote for someone nice then.
Progressive Technology Transfer alerts:
1) Clinton allows missile targeting transfers to China.
2) Obama allows missile defense teansfer to Rissia.
With Presidents like this, we have no secrets.

RE: The little chat box on facebook. Click on it, click on options, and then click on ‘go offline’. This will hide you from everyone else knowing that you’re ‘online’, and you won’t get anyone popping up to ‘chat’. Turned this off awhile ago...always froze up my poor old computer when anyone wanted to chat.
You certainly brought up a very good point with that post.
Like I told onyx last night
For the good of our country, or it will no longer be our country, we Cannot survive as a Union, Four More Years of Ubama, we just can't, its not my opinion, its not what I want to happen, we just won't.
We need a real leader on our side, with all this talk of the Chinese moving to Idaho, Israel going to War, and Civil War here at Home, we can't have putzs like Mitt Romney, Newt or this Rollins fellow (or whoever the clown is Michele just hired for some reason) on our side Mucking things up. Too much is at stake, or your grandchildren will ask you how their uncle died in the 2nd War Between the States, and we will be adopting this song to fit our modern times.
Remember, Obama thinks he is the great equalizer and we are an evil country that needs to be cut down to size. He gave away our nuke secrets and England's and has referred to our returning servicemen as terrorists while terrorizing our own citizens who attempt to travel while giving a pass to muslim men under 30. We may not have a country left when he decides to pay off our debtors by turning over sovereign land.
Sort of like, Kinetic Military Action. KMA.
And don't forget Dopey Joe Biden's "Seize the Future" (STFU)
