The Associated Press reports on Barack Obama’s desire to secure all loose nuclear material during his first term and to rid the world of nuclear weapons, as he warned his audience of the danger of “fighting the last war.”
This from the candidate who constantly reminds us he opposed the last war — making his 2002 speech opposing it the totem representing his “judgment to lead.” Of course, he might be trying to Change the subject from the story of his website getting scrubbed of his opposition to the “surge” – a very bad judgment regarding the last war. Or he might just hope that no one will notice that his consistently wrong judgments on Iraq since 2002 seem driven by political expediency. Obama does not want to fight the last war; he just wants everyone to accept whatever his positions are on the last war at moment.
Allahpundit and LGF are making much of Obama’s wacky goal of de facto unilateral disarmament — but our host, Jeff G, is among those who already publicized the full measure of that wackiness on video. The yellowcake and the diagrams are already out of the bottle, genius.
Update: If Obama was actually serious about nuclear non-proliferation, he might want to consider that his position on Iran is viewed abroad as an unconditional surrender and that such could accelerate an incipient nuclear arms race in the Mideast.

O! more French than JFKerry
He’s kind of a joke, isn’t he? Well, nothing for it but to pretend to take him seriously through November. I mean, that’s the polite thing to do, right?
That first sentence/paragraph really lays out what a wealth of foreign policy naivete O! possesses. No wonder he so popular with the domestic policy uber alles types.
And foreigners. I expect the nasty authoritarian ones are rubbing their hands w/ glee.
“to secure all loose nuclear material during his first term and to rid the world of nuclear weapons,”
A job for Joe Wilson.
Hooda thunk we’d git a Presh-(‘burp’)-ident mo’ cluless ’bout them fer-eners than my Bubba Jimmah.
Pass me anudder six and moonpie

We’re doomed.
You can’t hug your child with nuclear arms. Think about it.
Beyond taking these immediate, urgent steps, it’s time to send a clear message: Obama
Americaseeks a world with no nuclear weapons.“You can’t hug your child with nuclear arms”
I keep my distance from the one with propeller arms, too.
EXACTLY, Sarah. I mean, it’s creepy, right?
About as creepy as the Al Gore ad right over there … you guys see it?
Looky here, you chickenhawks. If you ban guns, there’ll be no more of those nasty, dirty, icky gun crimes, especially against people of colour.
Ergo, ban nukes, and the North Koreans, Iranians, Paks, Chinese will smelt theirs into jingly collars for that unicorn I saw Bambi riding on JibJab.
Get it?
Even a four-year Obama presidency will leave us as unprepared for anything militarily as Reagan had to face when he inherited the mess from Carter.
I weep for the future.
Beyond taking these immediate, urgent steps, it’s time to send a clear message: America seeks a world with no
nuclear weaponsLeftists.Sounds like he wants to buy the world a Coke. Any takers?
Of course… if the leftist eliminate ALL weapons (which is their ultimate goal), there won’t be leftists, or centrists, or rightys, or anybody, left. Just jihadists, who really don’t give a flip about UN Mandates and treaties and all that blather.
“Welcome to the New World, Sir.”
He can buy me a coke…
… if I can piss in it and hand it back to him for his consumption.
Why does everything with Baracky have to have a superfantastic bonus to go along with it? I think it’s kind of gay. In a Ronco kind of way. And also tiresome. Baracky is not just gay, he is also extremely tiresome.
Leftists need to get rid of nukes and stuff because they haven’t got the brainwattage to deal with the question of nukes [or war, FTM]. Its too bad, since they can be bright people given proper instruction, but the legacy from the 60s has completely ruined their political heritage.
“We ain’t gonna study war no more” has had a deleterious effect, IOW.
improve America’s capability to respond to any major disaster
Like, you know, burnt-out glowing cities and stuff.
Why does “HOPE AND CHANGE” remind me of the discarded after-effects of the 70s?
I thought the last guy who tried nuclear disarmament was Chris Reeves, in Superman IV?
“Why does everything with Baracky have to have a superfantastic bonus to go along with it?”
Because O! is a Community Organizer™
…to secure all loose nuclear material during his first term and to rid the world of nuclear weapons…
Is that before or after he heals the oceans, “solves” the economy, and takes away all our fatty foods?

I’ve said it before, but I feel an Obama presidency would make Jimmy Carter look like Abrahm fuckin’ Lincoln.

“We ain’t gonna study war no more†has had a deleterious effect, IOW.
I would figure that was on purpose. If you notice how immasculated our population is now by what war actually is and how it is fought, so much so that our entire population shits a brick when anything negative happens. War is a negative by definition. This makes it harder for us to wage war, which in the leftist mindset seems to be a good thing.
IMHO war should be studied in high school and college. Major battles, tactics, and effects on the civilian populations would all be good for our citizens to know. Instead of anything useful or based on facts, all I ever learned about was how bad Vietnam was, and how good WWII was. Until I took it upon myself to do some reading I knew very little.

Get rid of all nuclear weapons? Fine, do it in an orderly manner by nation, LIFO.
Imagine all the people, living for today …
As much as i am woried about Obama being elected, my perverse half thinks that having a second grader as president of the United States, as painful as it might be on one hand, could easily be a yuk and a half on the other..
GoO!
Great, the Democratic presumptive nominee is Jimmy Carter II. Where’s a barf bag when you really need one?
2 years of Obama/Reid/Pelosi it might be fun.
Mr. Pink –
Yes, completely agree. I often talk about just basic military science with Lefties – how long does a typical counterinsurgency last? how is one fought? do you know? – and they then finally pause in their rabid denunciations. Its just stuff they never gave thought to.
They’re good at the law/morals stuff though. They know it isn’t good for civilians to be killed, for example. But when I point out that its merely an accident of technology and history that made that no-civilians-killed era possible, its harder for them to understand.
Oh good Allah. Baracky is painful. please do not subject me to 4 or 8 years of this drivel. I am already suffering from a quickly receding hairline. Having him in charge will make the last hair I have fall out. Now that I think about it, maybe that is a good thing. Seems nose hair and ear hair grows faster the older you get, or the hair that used to be on top starts squirting out your ears. Never mind.
Fuckwad. Total fuckwad. Total fucking fuckwad. Total fucking ass fucking fuckwad. I mean really. What the fuck? Fucking fucking fuckwad.
I really don’t know what else to say. This shit that spews from this marxist’s mouth is so fucking 1980. Does this fucktard have any new idea, an idea that wasn’t spewed forth from the rabid and diseased mouth of a U of Penn chomsky/carter suckup in 1982. I mean, this crap was shit out of the carter wannabees 30 years ago. Is this new? Christ almighty in a burlap sack.
What a fuckwad. What a total fucking ass fuckwad. A fucking total ass fucking fuckwad. Jesus Christ in a fuckin hamper. What a fuckwad.
Doomed. We are all fucking doomed.
I’m laying in a stock of Beefeaters from here to the horizon…
Sorry for any profanities.
But… what the fuck?

Ask them what would be the primary logistical problem would be with moving 100,000+ troops out of Iraq and into Afghanistan as Obama is presently planning. I haven’t talked to a single one yet that even knew Afghanistan was landlocked, let alone the implications of that.
“Sorry for any profanities.”
Stick with: Chuck U
Obama is indeed acting in a half-crazed and French way by taking nuclear disarmament seriously. At least as loopy as Nixon, who signed the treaty that formally committed the United States and every other nuclear state to themselves disarm “in good faith”. The same treaty that’s been wheeled out as legal cover for operation “fix the middle east (but good.)”
Of course we all know that Nixon was a cynical liar without a molecule of good faith. whereas Obama is a dangerous idealist whose good faith will likely get us all killed.
God bless America! Down with effetism! Down with some but not all of the NPT!
My wife, a port of sensibility in any storm, points out that “Does this fucktard have any new idea, an idea that wasn’t spewed forth from the rabid and diseased mouth of a U of Penn chomsky/carter suckup in 1982?” … is less than polically correct and likely to offend the sensibilities of our pc liberal friends (well, I feed them anyways).
My apologies to all. I meant to write “Does this fucking fucktard have any fucking new fucking idea, any fucking idea that wasn’t fucking spewed forth on an HBO special glamorizing the rabid, frothing, fucking canker-fucking-sored-assed diseased fucking mouth (is that a mixed metaphor?)of a U of Penn chomsky/ fuckingcarter suckup in 1982?”
Is that okay now honey?
– steph. You need a new comment writer. And a haircut.
– Now Uber-denounce yourself properly and go to your room, and leave the little box of “fucking, fucktard, ass fucking, fucker” cut out paper slips here.

Susan Rice must be learning to really hate the O as he makes her have to spin so hard and silly. She may be ideologically committed but surely she can easily see the near term likely outcomes in Iraq don’t much favor her fearless leader. Do we reckon she won’t tell him what’s about to happen to his vision of Iraq come fall because she doesn’t want to shock him out of his reverie? Hard to figure why seasoned foreign policy hands would let their man climb so far out on such a thin twig. Hard also to see that the risk of being further proved wrong is worth the rewards the ‘base’ is offering, with the base’s absolute numbers being so small, not to mention dedicated. I just don’t see the net value Obama’s stance. It’s pointless, really.
I think steph had a point. Fuckity fuck fuck fuck.

– If he could do what G_d, wheel barrows of money, and the ghost of Bill Veck cannot, I might have to start thinking about voting for him.
– As things stand, I’m pretty sure I’m safe.
NOW I KNOW WHAT OBAMA MEANT WHEN HE PROMISED US “HOPE AND CHANGEâ€Â:
“I HOPE nobody notices how often I CHANGE my mind.”
The truth appears to be that the man had not thought out foreign policy issues before he entered the race for president.
I would like to see him confront face to face and without a teleprompter a tough questioner on foreign policy and domestic policy for that matter.
If we were electing a teleprompter reader he would get my vote — But the country needs a man of experience — the more, the better. He is not the one. He is inexperienced on ‘most’ issues.
I’m voting for McCain in November.
I didn’t tell him to say that shit!
If there has been any doubt that there isn’t any “there” there, he’s certainly dispelled it with this. However I can see the hard left nutroots progs swooning over this. It’s the eighty’s again.
If we learned anything from Viet Nam, it’s that you can’t keep fighting the same war over again.
BHM – That is correct. However, the Dems seem intent on losing all over again.
