Flapjack's Gone Daft
We never could have anticipated that Barack Obama would be so un-schooled as to think that the nuclear genie can be be put back in the proverbial bottle, that military or dual-use technology can be selectively unlearned, but there he goes.
How can Obama claim he will stay "one step ahead of threats of the 21st century," by pretending 20th century technologies can be selectively recaptured and caged? How can he claim to be ahead of 21st century threats, when he won't face the problems generated by 6th century ideologies? And does anyone believe that his naive pacifism will be reciprocated by tyrants and dictators? Obama's speech is filled with platitudes, but we're electing a President, not a bubble-headed pageant winner, and the first-term senator is proving yet again that he simply doesn't have the judgment for the job.
"As long as nuclear weapons exist, we'll retain a strong deterrent. But we will make the goal of eliminating all nuclear weapons a central element in our nuclear policy," Obama said. He added, "The danger ... is that we are constantly fighting the last war, responding to the threats that have come to fruition, instead of staying one step ahead of the threats of the 21st century."

Except we won't know about that until the one with the green crescent painted on it shows up in DC.
Ha ha! What riotous fun and wacky hijinks shall ensue!

How does he plan to stop any country from building a bomb? I'd like to know EXACTLY how he plans on eliminating nuclear weapons from the face of the globe. Too bad the press will never ask for specifics.
