Obama Scraps Missile Defense

Obama will spend money funding such groups as ACORN and hundreds of billions to insure his friends in the auto unions maintain their power and now absolute control on many American auto makers despite the fact that past union demands have virtually destroyed that industry and now he is beginning to strip the military of weapons deemed necessary by the previous administration to defend western Europe and the United States from future Iranian missile attacks. He does this in the face of continuing Iranian buildups in their missile forces and a march toward nuclear weapons. Its the old liberal Democratic Party stance of spending wildly on domestic programs that prop up their base at the expense of cutting military expenditures. But what makes this appalling at this time is that we are in the mist of two wars against Islamic fascism and face a growing threat from the Islamic radicals in Iran. Why to go President Hussein Obama!


Pentagon Confirms Major Adjustments to European Missile Shield

The Pentagon confirmed Thursday that it has made a "major adjustment" to plans for a missile defense system in eastern Europe, after a U.S. ally said the Obama administration is shelving the system altogether.

The proposed system was pitched as a way to fend off potential attacks from Iran but it became a major irritant in relations with Russia. President Obama faced the dilemma of either setting back the gradual progress toward repairing relations with Russia or disappointing two key NATO allies, the Czech Republic and Poland, that agreed to host components of the planned system.

Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell declined to give specifics about the new changes, but said: "This improvement to the system has nothing to do with Russia and everything to do with Iran."

He said the "adjustment" was made because the "latest intelligence" shows Iran is more "fixated" on short- and medium-range missiles - the prior plans were developed with long-range, intercontinental ballistic missiles in mind.

"While the Iranian threat has developed, so too has our technology," Morrell said. Details were expected to be announced later Thursday. read more from FOX News

I don't know how much more this United States can stand from Obama, I don't know how much longer we will remain unmoved and reserved in our actions against this bastard administration!

Ron Russell said...

Obama is following a far left agenda---more government spending for many social welfare programs and less funds for the military and in a time of war. His is a bastard administration with him being the #1 bastard.

LarryJackson said...

The first thing President Obama looks to cut is the military. How many weapon systems has he already gutted? Can anyone say F-22 Raptor?

Ron Russell said...

All this was expected from someone on the radical left---I only hope he doesn't hurt the security of the country before he thats his final exit at 1600 PA ave.

Obama is appeasing our enemies and screwing our allies. Obama has shown the International community just how weak a leader he really is. He is leaving the United States wide open for another attack. I don't think either America, or our allies can take too much more of Obama. This is really, really bad...

They are trying to put a smiley face on this, but it's a disaster. Both Democrats and Republicans are speaking out on this and other things. There is hope yet.

How about screwing us and tossing our allies overboard Teresa.

Of course, Debbie---the latest intelligence changed everything---what intelligence. Iran almost has the bomb and their missile technology is moving quickly. A bomb may just have to fall to jar the Jackasses in the White House.

Shortly after the announcement on the missile defense system GM was awarded a contract with Russia. Considering the government owns GM do you think that there could be a little back room deal that happened here?

Ron Russell said...

You make an interesting point Mr Pink Eyes! Will the whole truth ever come out.
