You clearly have more technical knowledge of the issue than I do.

That said, isn’t it a possibility that a nuclear bomb could be shipped in and detonated?

And let’s face it, nuclear weapons may not even be the biggest threat. We can only do so much to protect ourselves from poisons and deadly contagious diseases.

When we put a state into the category of “enemy”, it is too easy for that government to use that as propaganda to make it’s people anti-American. I don’t know what the right thing to do with Iran is, but it seems clear that many of the youth of the country, who are a majority, have a pretty good view of the USA.

I think that is something we should continue to cultivate.

usually have very small yields and require a large amout processed fissile material. The only countries capable of producing an effective small man portable atomic weapons currently are the United States and Russian with maybe Britian, France and China. The US and Russia are the only countries I know that can build tactical nuclear missiles for short range high yeild destruction.

That said, the only real threat we have is delivery of atomic warhead from rogue countries via ballistic missiles. The theory that states will get the bomb anyway seems to be a rather naive and childish approach to our enemies. Remember, the leaders of those countries do not think like you do in the sense of an ideal nor does MAD necessarily apply to them.

Even our missile defense shield isn’t able to prevent rogue/portable nukes.

Evidently we do.

And exactly how would that be arranged? Since we’re the only ones with anything close to a missile defense shield, and the Messiah wants to shot can that, how do you protect someone from rogue nukes?

And yes genius, there are man portable nukes. Got any bright ideas?

Sheesh!

That we don’t let the mentally defective, the insane and convicted felons vote? Just as all persons in a rational society are not allowed to vote, drive automobiles or do brain surgery, so their are nations and states where our knowledge of their leadership makes it imperative that we make sure they can do as little harm as possible.

All countries are not created equal.

But, I happen to agree with him on this in principle.

N. Korea, Iran, and everybody else want nuclear weapons in order to protect themselves (and even threaten others).

How can anyone fairly say “we get this power, but you don’t”?

It seems that his point is that there is a possible world where no individual country holds that power.

I can only guess that this would mean that any country that signed on as nuclear-free would get protection.

But, this is a good question to have him explain it further.

Just a lot of us killed. Probably in a big urban area that voted for him.

Then, we are going to have to kill a whole bunch of people in retribution. A whole bunch.

Looks like your equating Israel with either the KKK or the Black Panthers, Could you take this back to the drawing board?

If you have a “Tivo” system, after watching a news clip of The One doing a speech (I know you wouldn’t really watch the whole thing), press the rewind button and fast forward it through the clip again.

He really DOES look like he’s watching a tennis match!

He keeps saying ” I” all the time.
Didn’t all former presidents say ” We”?
By the way, who is writing all his teleprompter
speeches anyway? He’s too busy
himself. Maybe it’s Rahm or Pelosi?
He looks like he’s watching a tennis match
with his head turning side to side.

“A 2 state solution” (greater than, or equal to) KKK, and Black Panther governed states living and working side by side in harmony.

That and the points mentioned above. What is it with left wing ideologues? They have these amazing plans, visions even, of how the liberal progressive Utopia can be built. Like Michael Moore describing how GM should produce bullet trains like Japan. Except Japan is only a few hundred miles long with an extremely dense population. Unlike the US that is a couple thousands of miles wide and long, with a mostly spread out population. To build bullet trains and lay track to the scale Moore wants would cost trillions, and would be a money sinkhole. But does that dawn on the guy? Nope.
I think Obama lives in the same world as Moore.

“A world without Nuclear weapons” = Don’t bring your gun to a knife fight (aka NEVER going to happen)

“A 2 state solution” ? a KKK, and Black Panther governed states living and working side by side in harmony.

Cool Ideas, not going to happen.

depending on how cynical one is of Obama’s view of the US.
