But instead of threatening to kick them out of the G-8, we need to work with Russia to take U.S. and Russian ballistic missiles off hair-trigger alert

Just what does this mean, anyway? “Hair-trigger alert”? Are we on hair-trigger alert these days? I don’t think so, Mr. Idontknownuthin’ Candidate.

What an enptyhead BHO keeps showing himself to be.

Keep talking, Barry, keep talking.

The following day, Iran announced they just remembered where they had misplaced their secret nuclear arsenal and demanded that the entire world surrender immediately.
:
Our Unconditional Peace Negotiator, D. Licious O’Bama was caught off guard by Iran’s move, he believed them to be benign and thought that they liked us, they really, really, liked us.

While Obama is working on that, he can make Congress write legislation that outlaws the common cold and cancer and death and old age so we never die and never get old and never have the sniffles ever again. All we need is the will to do it and Obama’s genius.

I am officially in awe.

feelgood utopian nonsense

Obviously good enough for you Allah, enjoy the Obama years!

It goes along with his ‘guns are bad’ stance. Guns aren’t bad. . . so long as the people who have them aren’t bad. The minute America no longer has nuclear weapons is the minute we no longer have the respect of the world.

Wake up, egObama!

Why do you cut&Paste that all the time?

Chakra Hammer on July 16, 2008 at 6:54 PM

I think that is the second, maybe the third time, over the last several weeks that I have “cut and pasted” that and I do it when it fits.

Why are you such a kibitzer “all the time”?

(a) Delusional – he has started to believe his own messiah clippings
(b) Uninformed to the point of being moronic on foreign affairs
(c) An elitist charlatan that believes the people can be fooled all of the time
(d) All of the above

America seeks a world with no nuclear weapons. — B. Hussein Obama

Wait a minute Barack-baby. I just thought of something, this is pointless. Bill Clinton has already eliminated the threat of nuclear weapons to America!!

For the first time since the dawn of the nuclear age, there’s not a single solitary nuclear missile pointed at the people of the United States of America. And I’m proud of that.”

Bill Clinton – New York, October 23, 1995

There are no more nuclear missiles pointed at any children in the United States. I’m proud of that.”

Bill Clinton – New York City, February 15, 1996

We won the Cold War. There are no missiles pointed at America’s children.”

Bill Clinton – Telephone speech to the National Emergency Management Association, February 26, 1996

I am proud of the fact that, with the leadership of the Vice President, for the first time since the dawn of the nuclear age, there is not a single nuclear missile pointed at an American child today.”

Bill Clinton – Nashville, January 12, 1996

Bill Clinton told us this ad nauseam a total of 86 times while he was in office. So America is totally safe from nuclear weapons. Sorry BO but Bill beat you to it.

As long as we are absolutely certain that the crazies get rid of theirs first.
You know, crazies like people who believe that they are rewarded by their deity for killing people who don’t believe exactly as they do;
Crazies who think that threatening the productive countries of the world with them will get the productive countries to support their indolent, corrupt regimes.

A couple of nukes in the hands of people like that are more worrisome than tens of thousands of them in the hands of the Russians… At least the Russians want to live.

Interesting; that MAD only works with a people who are not mad(insane).

Why do you cut&Paste that all the time?

Barry O doesn’t have the sense of a crowbar. At least a crowbar does offer leverage.

Beyond taking these immediate, urgent steps, it’s time to send a clear message: America seeks a world with no nuclear weapons. As long as nuclear weapons exist, we must retain a strong deterrent. But instead of threatening to kick them out of the G-8, we need to work with Russia to take U.S. and Russian ballistic missiles off hair-trigger alert; to dramatically reduce the stockpiles of our nuclear weapons and material; to seek a global ban on the production of fissile material for weapons; and to expand the U.S.-Russian ban on intermediate-range missiles so that the agreement is global. By keeping our commitment under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, we’ll be in a better position to press nations like North Korea and Iran to keep theirs. In particular, it will give us more credibility and leverage in dealing with Iran.

It is amazing to me that people can read into his rather Reagan like speech, what isn’t even there. Now it might be in the back of his mind, but it’s not in his speech.

Poor target acquisition.

Uh, Obama? NOTE: They’ve been off “hair-trigger” alert since the last Reagan years. “Looking Glass”, the 24/7/365 airborne command post hasn’t flown 24/7 in years. Armed SAC bombers don’t fly 24/7 loops anymore either.

You still getting all your military info from your in-house experts?

Reagan was more cunning than anyone will ever give him credit for, he may have whispered sweet-nothings into Soviet ears but there is no way he would have carried it out.

Bishop on July 16, 2008 at 6:06 PM

Reagan was not a binary thinker. He was many things. He was cunning but also a pragmatist and an idealist.

President Reagan will be remembered in the
Conference of Disarmament for his efforts which resulted in the conclusion of historic agreements on reductions in nuclear weapons and which created favorable conditions for the negotiations on the Chemical Weapons Convention.
