Although President Barack Obama’s policies on the production and use of nuclear weapons has been called “reckless,” “dangerous,” “irresponsible,” “ill-advised,” “very risky,” “catastrophic,” “dangerous,” fantasy,” “unrealistic,” “absurd,” ”moronic,” and just plain “stupidity,” I just prefer to call it FRIGHTENING while I wait for an imminent attack upon the United States from one or more of our enemies. According to this article, Leading National Security Expert Frank Gaffney, founder and president of the Center for Security Policy, said that Obama is taking “considerable risks” with Americans’ security. He also said that Obama’s policies could ultimately lead to the disarmament of the U.S.
“Both the new nuclear posture review and the START treaty reflect the president’s overarching ambition, something that’s been a fixation of his going back to 1983 when he was a young radical at Columbia University, and that is with the idea of disarming the world.
“But as a practical matter, the only country he can disarm is the United States, and I think both of these are steps in that direction.
“He is foreclosing any modernization of our nuclear deterrent. He is saying we’re not going to modernize our forces. The practical effect of the president’s decision not to modernize our nuclear deterrent is to condemn it to obsolescence, and [to lead] ultimately to the disarmament of the United States,” Gaffney said.
Gaffney said he hopes that “there is going to be a response from the American people to some of these very risky ideas that I think most people are going to find defy common sense, and certainly are not prudent in a world in which countries like North Korea, Iran, China, Russia are [developing] nuclear threats, and perhaps other capabilities as well, in a way that will be very dangerous to us in the future . . .
“The American people are being confronted with a president who believes that he can take considerable risks with their safety and security. I think they probably won’t see it that way, and they’ll let their elected representatives know they don’t.”
“Anybody in a position of real responsibility who appreciates that it is and will remain vital to the security of the United States to have a credible, safe, reliable nuclear deterrent, will tell you you need to modernize the ones we have — because they’re increasingly not safe, increasingly not reliable, and certainly ever less effective.” Gaffney said.
“The only nuclear power in the world, actual or incipient, that will not be able to produce any nuclear weapons will be the United States of America. I think that is wrong. I think it is irresponsible. And I’m fearful it will prove reckless.
“Then there’s a whole class of weapons of which [the Russians] have thousands, unmatched by us, called tactical nuclear weapons, that aren’t counted in this treaty at all. Some of them are off the coast of the United States today, weapons the size of the weapon that devastated Hiroshima pointed at our cities. And they don’t count at all,” Gaffney explained.
In other news, Obama Bans Islam, Jihad From National Security Strategy Document - “…reflects Obama’s core assumption that the jihad against the United States is our fault, and can be quelled by our overtures of good will to the Islamic world. This is based on the further assumption that there is no Islamic imperative to jihad against unbelievers simply because they are unbelievers.”
