Candidate Barack Obama promised to “fundamentally transform the United States.” Evidently, that includes ending America’s status as a nuclear superpower.
As President, he seeks to rid the world of such arms, starting with ours.
Press reports reveal that he is actively considering proposals to cut eighty percent of our arsenal, perhaps unilaterally. That would leave America with a nuclear deterrent roughly the size of Pakistan’s and a fraction of that of Russia and probably much smaller than the one Communist China is secretly amassing. It comes as North Korea, Iran and other potential adversaries are building up nuclear forces.
If this kind of radical unilateral disarmament is what Mr. Obama is prepared to contemplate amidst a presidential campaign, imagine how radically he will transform – and undermine – our security if he is reelected.

Israeli Security, Doing It Their Way!

Last week, America’s top military man was sent on an urgent diplomatic mission. Joint Chiefs Chairman Martin Dempsey went to Israel to keep it from trying to destroy Iran’s incipient nuclear weapons capability.
Knowing that General Dempsey is a fan of Frank Sinatra, his hosts treated him to a musical rendition of some of Old Blue Eyes’ hits. The appropriate theme should have been Sinatra’s trademark “My Way.”
After all, the Israelis are confronting an existential threat as Iran crosses one “redline” after another on its way to obtaining the means to do what President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has repeatedly pledged: to wipe Israel off the map.
America should help Israel put Ahmadenijad and his nuclear program out of business. If President Obama won’t do so, he should get out of Israel’s “way.”

Iranian Nukes

Last Tuesday, Republican presidential candidate Michelle Bachmann used her appearance at a national security-themed debate to issue an urgent warning: An Iranian regime perilously close to acquiring nuclear weapons intends to use them to destroy Israel and America.
Could that happen? The leaders of Iran may think so.
For years, they have covertly pursued nuclear weapons and obtained ever-longer-range missiles with which to deliver them. Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has, moreover, repeatedly said that Israel must be wiped off the map – and that a world without America is not only desirable, but achievable.
Iran knows that one or two nuclear weapons would destroy most of Israel. And a high-altitude nuclear detonation over the United States could unleash an electro-magnetic pulse with catastrophic effects. Will we act in time to prevent these nightmares?

The World is a More Dangerous Place

One of President Obama’s most controversial and dangerous policies is the least debated by our country; he wants to rid the world of nuclear weapons. What should alarm every American is that Mr. Obama thinks the way to achieve this ambitious goal is to allow the aging U.S. deterrent to wither away. He refuses to allow true modernization of our arsenal or realistic testing, necessary to ensure our obsolescent weapons remain safe, reliable and effective.
The trouble is that no other nuclear power, actual or incipient, is abandoning its weapons programs, not one. In fact, everyone else is building up their nuclear arsenals.
Communist China has even constructed a three thousand mile underground tunnel to conceal its growing nuclear missile force.
Unilateral U.S. disarmament will make the world more dangerous, not less.
