AT A TIME OF GROWING NUCLEAR RISK, OBAMA SEEKS TO MAKE THE USA AND THE FREE WORLD MORE VULNERABLE

WSJ EDITORIAL HERE. EXCERPT:

... the devil of arms control also lies in the overall concept, with its implicit assumption that the weapons themselves are inherently more dangerous than the intentions of those who develop and deploy them.

We would have thought this thinking was discredited after the Second Lateran Council outlawed the use of crossbows in 1139, or after the Hague Convention of 1899 banned aerial bombardment, or after the Kellogg-Briand Pact outlawed war. Nope. Mr. Obama has set the ultimate goal of eliminating nuclear weapons, and as one of his first official acts he pledged to "stop the development of new nuclear weapons."

... The thinking here is that somehow the American example will get Russia, as well as North Korea, Pakistan and perhaps Iran, to reject nuclear weapons. In fact, a U.S. nuclear arsenal that is diminished in both quantity and quality would be an incentive for these countries to increase their nuclear inventories, since the door would suddenly be opened to reach strategic parity with the last superpower. Mr. Medvedev, for one, recently announced Russia would pursue "large-scale rearmament" of its army and navy, including nuclear arsenals.

EITHER OBAMA IS A FRAKIN' MORON OR HE WANTS THE USA TO BE WEAKER.

THE LATTER IS MORE LIKELY; AS A GOOD LITTLE POSTMODERN LEFTIST, OBAMA SEES THE USA AS ARROGANT - A POINT HE REITERATED THIS WEEK IN FRANCE!

• LIKE A GOOD LITTLE POSTMODERN LEFTIST, OBAMA WANTS THE USA - AND THE EVIL COLONIALIZING WEST - BROUGHT DOWN A NOTCH.

• OBAMA SEEKS TO BRING US SOWN A NOTCH BY APPEASING OUR ENEMIES, REDUCING THE STRENGTH OF OUR MILITARY, AND BY MAKING US SUBSERVIENT TO MULTINATIONAL/TRANSNATIONAL ENTITIES - LIKE THE UN AND KYOTO AND THE ICC AND SO ON.

• AND OBAMA KNOWS THAT IF HE BRINGS THE USA DOWN A NOTCH THEN HE WILL HAVE WEAKENED THE ENTIRE WEST AND THE FREE WORLD.

• OBAMA AND THE POSTMODERN LEFT THINK THAT THIS WILL STRENGTHEN THE THIRD WORLD.

• IDIOTS.

• WHAT THE THIRD WORLD NEEDS IS MORE USA STYLE GOVERNANCE, INDUSTRIALIZATION, AND ECONOMICS, NOT LESS.

IF OBAMA SUCCEEDS, THEN OUR ENEMIES GAIN - AND THE ENTIRE WORLD WILL SUFFER.

DISSENT ACCORDINGLY.
