Obama’s defense policy 109
Power Line pertinently questions Barack Obama’s defense ‘credo’:
With events in Georgia over the past week, it is time to revisit Barack Obama’s stated views on America’s defense needs …
I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems…
…I will not weaponize space…
…I will slow development of future combat systems…
…and I will institute a "Defense Priorities Board" to ensure the quadrennial defense review is not used to justify unnecessary spending…
…I will set a goal of a world without nuclear weapons…
…and to seek that goal, I will not develop nuclear weapons…
…I will seek a global ban on the development of fissile material…
…and I will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBMs off hair-trigger alert…
…and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenals…
Isn’t it time for someone who covers politics for a living to ask Obama about this credo?
