'Obama: Nuclear terrorism is 'gravest danger' to US'

So you are going to chase your tail in endless negotiation with evil monsters who want to get an atomic bomb to wipe out their sworn enemies? Namely the USA and Israel?

Obama is an islamist appeaser and appeasing evil only gets you more evil.

Obama is a dirty liarJul 16th, 2008 - 19:29:32

'Obama called nuclear terrorism 'the gravest danger we face.' He called President George W Bush to task for spending nearly 1 trillion dollars on the war in Iraq, which had no active nuclear programme, '

Again, the lies get repeated by the press so often they become accepted as truth. From CNN:

500 tons of uranium shipped from Iraq

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The United States secretly shipped out of Iraq more than 500 tons of low-grade uranium dating back to the Saddam Hussein era, the Pentagon said Monday.

The U.S. military spent $70 million ensuring the safe transportation of 550 metric tons of the uranium from Iraq to Canada, said Pentagon spokesman Brian Whitman.

The shipment, which until recently was kept secret, involved a U.S. truck convoy, 37 cargo flights out of Baghdad to a transitional location, and then a transoceanic voyage on board a U.S.-government-owned ship designed to carry troops to a war zone, he said.

The 'yellowcake' uranium transfer was requested by the Iraqi government at the encouragement of the U.S. government, Whitman said.

Now Obama is Promising to Get Rid of All Nuclear Weapons

Barack Obama has a plan to get rid of all the nuclear weapons in the world. He’s going to achieve this amazing feat by making sure the US adheres to nonproliferation treaties.

'Two goals of his administration would be to secure all loose nuclear material during his first term and to rid the world of nuclear weapons, Obama told an audience before a roundtable discussion at Purdue University.

Obama said adhering to nonproliferation treaties would put pressure on nations such as North Korea and Iran.'

Because Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Kim Jong-Il will look at the US adhering to those treaties, and be embarrassed into getting rid of their weapons programs.

Or something like that.

It takes the usual republicans to make this kind of comments .Did you know that only one of every ten thousand containers entering or transiting in the USA is opened and checked ?It is a piece of cake for a terrorist group to smuggle a nuclear device into the USA .That is what Obama is talking about .Is he wrong ?Given the figures I think he is right .The ignorance of the republican posters is mindbogling .What is this thing about 5000 tons of uranium and Iran:these figures are completely insane ,I presume they mean 5000 tons of urnium oe,any idea how much uranium is extracted from that ?I gess no,or perhaps they do but then those figures would appear muh less impressive .Alaystrus the neocons to come up with silly ranting completely void of ant reality other than their own fears and paranoia .To the garbage bins of history with them,together with those extremist muslims they love to fight with .
Leave the world to the moderate and intelligent people .There is only one cure for paranoia:the psycho ward.Go there ...

This nut is so stupid, he does not know that CIA is giving money to all these terrorists, so that USA can sit at the helm of oil and a constant threat to Russia. He is just trying to win elections by uttering such stupid speeches.

Replace the word arab with the word jew in Dan's disgusting racist comment and the neocons and Israeli would be screaming for blood all over this site .When it concerns arabs or palestinians their voices are nowhere to be heard .It probably would have been ok for them had the holocaust been carried out on 6 million arabs ?Tells a lot of the mindframe of these so called patriots .There is not a iota of difference between a nazi and people like Dan,they both are a disgrace.And I 'd love to hear those that were so heavily persecuted in the past raise their voice in angere over this modern version of anti semitism ?Why is there not a single jewish organisation raising it's voice in anger over these racist comments ?Are they perhaps contaminated by racst prejudice too ?Tey suffered most and should understand best what it is to b persecuted.Time for them too to speak out .

I cannot believe it


...for seven years, Bush stands as the lone watchman against nuclear proliferation in the world, after his predecessor stood by while Pakistan gave it away and Russia and France enabled these terrorists. Bush has;

Successfully gotten Libya to give up it's Nuke program

Has N. Korea doing the same

Has put unprecidented pressure on Iran that his predecessors ignored.

Has Indai dealing on compliance and inspection

Now, this neophyte, who the libnazis are touching themsleves over daily has the gall, with his legislation accomplishments that could fit on a match book cover, insinuatiing he's not doing enough....


??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
The dems are all talk,

Talk on terror

talk on energy

talk on security

talk on warfighting.

I find the vast majority of my political leanings are more toward a conservative role. However, in the past 8 years the party I used to recognize myself with has turned into a big steaming pile of poo. The vast majority of posts made buy the republicans in the last 8 years have been of fear mongering, deceit, and full blown imaginary facts. The absolute bottom of the barrel represents the majority of the republican party. I am ashamed that so many Christians vote for, and follow these hating fools. You are going against the teachings of Christ.

In this article Obama has made several very powerful and profound promises that are easy to understand.

*Education is the key in keeping America strong.
*Prevention is better than a knee-jerk reaction.
*Setting a good example will make our decisions favorable in the world view.
*A Good world view will allow a significant increase in pressure against Tyrant ran countries.

If you have a hard time understanding these points I believe the Housing Bubble is the least of America's worries.

So is Obama 'fear mongering' to make us nervous about some fantastical nuclear mushroom cloud that may some day appear over a US city?

I thought I heard that somewhere before - but for the life of me I can't remember where. Perhaps I should check the impeachment articles against GWB or Cheney.

What a farce.

I guess most failed even to understand what is meant with the statement that nuclear terrorism is the main threath.Almost every real terrorism specialist hs pinpointed out the fact that only one out of ten thousand containers entering the USA are effectively screened .It would take only one container rigged with a nuclear device inside to provoke a real carnage in your country .Yet ,because it is a nuisance to check more containers with little or no financial gain to be made by your military industrial establishment,nothing is done about it .obama is the first one to recognize that .Of course he is labelled a liar by the republican campaigners on this forum.Why ?Is it because it is embarassing that things are so simple .Either it shows that republican candidate McCain is not taking things seriously or that hehas his priorities wrong .Whatever the case it also shows that those in power are reluctant to take measures if those conflicts with business interests .Slightly different from taking measures when those conflict with human rights that kind of attitude .hence I can only deduct that business interests are more valued than human rights in the republican logics .But of course most of you already knew that ...
