Obama urges eliminating nuclear weapons
CHICAGO - Democrat Barack Obama called for ridding the world of nuclear weapons Tuesday and offered his early opposition to the Iraq war as evidence of sound judgment that trumps his lack of Washington experience.

Obama argued that U.S. policy is still focused on the defunct Soviet Union instead of combatting the nuclear threat from rogue nations and terrorists. The United States shouldn't unilaterally disarm, he said, but it must work with other nations to phase out weapons and control atomic material.
"Here's what I'll say as president: 'America seeks a world in which there are no nuclear weapons,'" Obama said.

"The best way to keep America safe is not to threaten terrorists with nuclear weapons — it's to keep nuclear weapons and nuclear materials away from terrorists," the Illinois senator said. Aides said the process Obama envisions would take many years, not just a a single presidency.

Isn't that sweet? Everyone in the world is so kind and wonderful that we don't need those big bad nuclear bombs to protect ourselves, so we'll just go ahead and put them away where nobody will get hurt, and we'll trust that you nice people will put yours away. Naturally you would never ever think of hurting us, now would you? No, of course you wouldn't. Here, let me lock this box. Once I lock this I can go inside and get you your own pansies, too. Did you boys know that it'll take me years to unlock this again once I lock it. There. We're all safe now. Boys? Boys, why are you pointing those ICBM's at me? I thought you loved me....wawawawawa!

I actually think this is a good idea. These devices should be destroyed as soon as possible. If you think Reagan was a good president, you'll have to agree with Barack because he wants to do what Reagan did, but on a wider scale.

No, we won that one because we had the nukes to show to people.

There might be some connection between number of nuclear weapons possessed and winning showdowns like that. Just maybe.

Besides, we only use them when we need to, so it's okay.

Reagan didn't want to surrender. Reagan wanted the United States to win. It's a damn stupid idea. Let the enemy ditch their weapons first. Then we can keep ours safely.

But Reagan got both us and the Soviets to reduce our weapons.

And let's face it, is it fair or realistic to think that the Soviets should completely dismantle their nukes while we get to keep ours?

The enemy?

I think he may be referring to Tom Tancredo's threat to nuke Mecca in retaliation for a hypothetical nuke in New York City.
