Barry O

Can this guys god complex get any worse?

Who the hell does he think he is?!? King of the world?

Good luck convincing Putin that he doesn't need any.......

Ours.

The other guys can have as many as they want.

"See? We're completely unarmed. There is no reason to fear us now. Um Guys, whats with the knives? Guys?"

I bethis first step on that noble path would be a unilateral castration of America's nuclear forces.

God help us if this cretin gets elected.

We will beat our swords into plowshares!

ummm say there Michelle, whats a plowshare?

There has been a gross over-assessment of his intelligence.

What a stunningly new idea.

I still think this guy, Obama, is Karl Rove's greatest feat.

What is really stupid about his comments (and the reporting of them) is that he said this while "warning" us not to "fight the last war" and instead focus on the threat of Nuclear, Biological and Chemical weapons.

Ummmm. Wasn't that why we went into Iraq?

Idiot.

Senator Kerry said something similar in the debates in 2004.

'The first thing I will do as president is dismantle the United States nuclear weapons program.'

That's all I needed to hear. Buhbye...thanks for playin......

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

Just like all those gun control laws kept guns out of the hands of criminals.

What a fucking joke.

The emotionalists love this guy. any wonder?

I thought he was going to take a gun to a knife fight.

Sounds more like he is taking a white flag.

He is a weapon of mass (D)suction.

Two goals of his administration would be to secure all loose nuclear material screws in his head during his first term...

There, much better

Absolutely fabulous idea! What could possibly go wrong?

(yikes)

He sounds more & more delusional. He has already said that he will "heal the planet". His wife said that they will 'heal our souls"
This will be a Brave New World & we are not going to like it.

What really bothers me is this dude can say absolutely anything & 48% of the population thinks that's just peachy.

I just threw up in my mouth a little.......

This will be a unilateral disarming, done soon after he blinds our intelligence services and ties the hands of our conventional forces as well. A Trifecta of Surrender....I will not sleep well at night if this clown is elected.

Good Lord on High, I don't think even Jimmah Cahtah was that presumptuous, and that's saying something.

Heaven help us all if he wins.

Guns are next.

Of course, today is only Wednesday.

What will be his position on Thursday?

/waiting for the flip to flop

I, for one, welcome our new muslim overlords and remind them that, as an influential member of society, I can be useful in the rounding up of others to toil in the underground hummus mines.

Did Obama tell the group that he asked his oldest daughter what the most important issue was and she said nuclear weaponry?

He is Jimmy Carter all over again.

re: #18 Kragar (Proud to be Kafir)

Racist!

it just amazes me that he's still ahead in the polls.

"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."

And we all know how inspired they are by the USA. Sounds like a plan. A god-awful plan, nevertheless, a plan.

You guys will get the president you deserve if you vote this numpty in. Obama is a fool. Running the free world is not the same as getting asbestos out of two partments in some slum.

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 laugh their assess off while they nuclear blackmail the US.

Fixed it for him

Obama's nuke plan to prevent nuclear war is identical to his gun control plan to curb crime, and should work just as well.

/Duh

sinking to knees, looking heaven obamaward...

Yes! Yes! Peace in our time!

He was misquoted. He plans to rid the world of all American nuclear weapons. That is the only "disarmament" that will be in his power to accomplish.

And he will do it.

Or at least try very seriously...

re: #35 noshariaincanada

it just amazes me that he's still ahead in the polls.

It's real easy when you oversample.

Right and we will all be issued Unicorns and fluffy puppies and kittens.

Honestly, is he just saying this stuff to get elected? I mean this had to be a prepared speech, so his handlers had to write it. My own local LLL paper has finally sort of picked up on his stuff, and are now getting worried that he might not be elected due to his drift to the right and "uncertain" policy statements.

re: #26 unreconstructed rebel

What really bothers me is this dude can say absolutely anything & 48% of the population thinks that's just peachy.

Yeah, but that's not going to win him the election.

And keep in mind the polling data you see is what the campaign and MSM want you to see.

His actions over the last few weeks tell me his campaign does not like what they see with their own private polling.

re: #33 loppyd

re: #20 buzzsawmonkey

All you have to do is watch a video and you will get a free vacation.

Shaweet. Deal me in.

"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.

So his goal is for us to loose our strong deterrents. Was this a prepared speech?

wishing and hoping - that's leadership.

He said this before, in a video on youtube (if it hasn't been deleted by the leftwingers there), and in addition to massive cuts in the defense budgets. The guy is clueless, assume we destroy all our nukes, then what do we do if China attacks or Russia attacks, and lo and behold they haven't kept there word about destroying their nukes? Good luck with that. We have problems fielding a four hundred thousand person armed forces, imagine having to go up against millions, without a nuke deterrent. Indeed, South Korea and Japan have only been able to be at peace with their more numerous neighbors in China and Russia because of the US nuke umbrella. If they see that we unilaterally disarm, that would cause an arms race in East Asia.
What is more frightening is that the Obamanation may condition aid to Israel on it destroying its alleged nukes or in compelling Israel to sign non proliferation treaties, in order to 'calm' muslim country's fears of Israeli retaliatory powers.
This candidate is the worst of all possible democrats who have ever run in the past forty years, if that were possible, and I'm afraid it is.

I've heard that the USA has already covertly bought up all the loose nuclear material on the market to make sure it doesn't fall into the wrong hands.

As to the rest of Obama's talk, its just pap. The reason we have nukes is to put a scare into the bad ones with the nukes.

Obama would have cops give up their guns to lead the criminals by example.

Naivety, thy name is Obama.

If democrats can alter the weather, they could easily banish nuclear weapons. Piece of cake really.

John Bolton is going to be interviewed on Hot Air in about 15 minutes.

Sorry to go off topic. But it's JOHN BOLTON!

I do believe Barry O has a misunderstanding of the word "proliferate."

Then how will he attack Pakistan?

If you make it criminal to have nukes, only criminals will have nukes.

/Need I say more?

An unarmed country is toast.......

From my cold, dead hands, you marxist.......

Barack, just come out an say it already. You are Mr. Appeasement. You are Mr. Pacifism. You are a huge SISSY. Enough.

I can't get over the fact he has his head so far up his own ass he thinks that crazy countries like Iran will simply do what he says because he says it.

All hail the Obama. Puke.

Why don't we just hand over the keys to the United Nations while we're at it?

Afterall, a world without nuclear weapons would make this a scary place. The deterrent of nuclear weapons have always been there to ensure our sovereignty. Obama doesn't seem to recognize that concept at all obviously.

I just watched a video that I found in the sidebar (The Corner), of a man singing puppies to sleep. The second* thing that came into my head while watching it, was that this is what Obama thinks he can do when talking to terrorists and evil, sociopathic dictators.

*the first was that was one of the cutest things I'd ever seen.

re: #26 unreconstructed rebel

What really bothers me is this dude can say absolutely anything & 48% of the population thinks that's just peachy.

As long as the remaining 51% of our population votes for McCain, we should be set. (The other 1% can vote their conscience/Libertarian/Ron Paul/Pat Buchanan/write Hitler* on the ballot for all I care. :b)

Now, where can I get some nuclear weapons?

I would think Heretic, as I doubt the words of the Lightweight, oops, Lightworker.

Uh, no.

It's is amazing to me how many people believe that kind of fiction.

And people call George Bush an idiot. This Obama is a menace.

Hey Obama, can I have my very own magic flying unicorn too? Pretty please?

Now where did I put my Obama 10 foot pole.

//moving to the center?

Repost from last thread....

What's he going to do, redact all nuclear physics from all text books?

Nuclear weapons are not things to be counted and rounded up. They are knowledge of how to build one, and the will to use them. It only takes, for now, a nation state with the will and means to produce one.

Yeah, he's going to talk to them and wag his finger. That will do it.

re: #8 Rednek

I bethis first step on that noble path would be a unilateral castration of America's nuclear forces.

First step? This is the same path that many on the Left have been pushing for decades. Remember the doomsday clock?

Disarmament for the sake of peace - ignoring that those nukes helped win the peace and brought down the Soviets because they couldn't keep up.

Now, the Russians are willing to let the Iranians chase the nuclear genie.

Jimmy Carter is looking better in hindsight.

I'm pretty sure we're reached the point where every time Obama opens his mouth, he loses votes.

Next he'll be promising to render all the warheads down to build nuclear power plants in order to solve global warming in the process - you know two birds with one stone. Then it will be extending free theater benefits to the homeless then ... you get the idea.

There is nothing this man can't do, so much hope for change.

Now Obama is trying to throw Admiral Rickover under the sub.

BTW - this is yet another ploy to lay the groundwork for a comparison to Reagan. Reagan wanted to ban nuclear weapons too.

But he said "peace through strength" - something reporters will fail to mention when they make the comparison.

These bastards running the show at the big O are very cynical - they really do think Americans are stupid and that they press is in their pocket. So far, nothing has contradicted that assessment.

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

This man is not serious. He is not morally competent to be a high school principle let alone the President & Commander in Chief.

The left would love to see America brought to its knees and destroyed. I really doubt they have any idea it would be like if we lost our sovereignty.

Shouldn't Obama (and Gore) be all about nukes? I think a nuclear winter would be the obvious solution to Global Warming.

/

I went to Nagasaki (a beautiful town, really) and was approached by a schoolgirl with a petition to eliminate nuclear arms (quite a popular cause there). I wouldn't sign it. I could see how bewildered the girl was but the plain fact of the matter was that I knew nuclear annihilation was terrible but Kim Jong Il did not.
Obama's complete lack of knowledge and experience is going to destroy the Korean peninsula (as well as ruin the Canadian economy).
What an @$$hole.

"In the Cold War, we didn't defeat the Soviets just because of the strength of our arms."

No, but the strength of our arms kept them at bay long enough to get a President who wanted to defeat them, not coexist with them. The inability of the Soviets economy to keep up with us in an arms race ultimately led to their demise.

re: #79 roberth

Carter at least served his country in the military.

Why do I keep thinking of that scene from Dr Strangelove substituting the Obama riding the big ole nuke into the sunset.

re: #80 Sizzlack

Exactly!

McCain just needs to keep quiet until mid October, then remind everyone of all the stupid shit Obama has said.

Check out this Obama poster...Yes, it's real...It's not a parody.

And for his next performance, Maestro BHO will walk on water and teach all men to fish, remove all carbon dioxide from the air, "solve the oil crisis" and the "foreclosure crisis", all with the wave of his well manicured hand.

I ran the numbers once. (this is from memory)

War deaths 1900 to Aug. 1945 -- 120 million.
War deaths Sept. 1945 to 1990 -- 17 million.

Two 45 year periods demarcated by the developement and use of nuclear weapons.

Well, maybe if we destroy all of our weapons, (even the conventional ones) and provide our armed forces with Nerf bats and squirt guns as weapons, Iran, Al-Quada and all of our other enemies will see what nice, progressive folks we are and stop hating us.
Later, they can all come by via our totally unsecured borders and we can sing kum-bi-ya together. I for one, will welcome our new Islamic overlords. Peace out and pass that blunt, dude.

As much as I'm not fond of nukes, Obama is nucking futs and completely off his rocker. As if Moscow, Bejing, New Delhi, Islamabad, London, et.al., much less AQ, North Korea, and Iran will listen to him. He is more delusional day by day. It is as if he thinks he really is the messiah and can do no wrong.

Hey, why so much Messiah-bashing around here? His Holiness doesn't want to unilaterally disarm America! He specifically said "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."

Apparently, he's going to make all of the world's nuclear weapons disappear at the same time, perhaps using some sort of a "poof!" apparatus. And then nobody will want to have them anymore, so nobody will try to build them ever again, and we can all get together and have face painting and eat waffles together.

BTW: if you have not seen "Gabriel Over the White House," find it and watch it. Early-'30s film where the angel Gabriel possesses a comatose US president who then unilaterally disarms the US.

For all practical purposes, we DID almost totally disarm during the 1930's. Thank God we built a few (very few) aircraft carriers and developed the programs that rapidly trained pilots after the war started. Those few carriers were the only thing that kept the US in the war in the Pacific until new construction became available.

re: #136 Son of the Black Dog

Those carriers were built because they didn't meet the definitions of the Washington Naval Treaties, which limited fleet size.

The Germans promptly broke the treaty, but the US adhered to them until it was nearly too late. However, US planners were already drawing up the Essex class carriers and the Iowa class battleships, along with every manner of ship imaginable.

Yes and imagine what the war would have looked like if they were in port on that sunny Sunday morning in December 1941.

And yet... I am skeptical that it's really "the exact moment of detonation", which IIRC with nukes is characterized by an enormous light and radiation flash, which I think would have fried the film had the shutter been open at that instant.

re: #175 Kenneth

And contrary to the myths of the unhistorical left, President Truman did indeed send a message to the Japanese gov't demanding surrender or face overwhelming destruction. The Japanese refused to surrender.

I believe the response included the famous "not with a million men and a hundred years" line. A month later the war was over.

Here's another Obama poster...In this one the messiah is releasing the doves of peace to an adoring world.

I guess a drawer in your chest is a lot more convenient, and possibly more sanitary.

nObama seems to be developing his policies based on letters from 5th graders across America.

It's laissez-faire, I don't even give a care
Let's make Friday part of the weekend
And give every new baby a chocolate eclair

Mad Dog and Buzz Saw Monkey, you are right. The Japanese dragged their own people into a war they couldn't win. Now look at Japan. It is a peaceful place with freedoms it certainly didn't enjoy during the war.
While there, I visited the hermitage of Dr. Takeshi Nagai who declared quite bluntly that Nagasaki was the period- the full stop- to the war they (the Japanese) had started.
I have no idea what the hell Obama is thinking.

re: #148 JohnnyReb

Yes and imagine what the war would have looked like if they were in port on that sunny Sunday morning in December 1941.

A
friend and I have had that discussion. The war in the Pacific would
have lasted until at least 1947-48 and cause at least another 500,000
US casaulties.

There's a new comic series out now by Chuck Dixon, an outspoken conservative, called "Storming Paradise" about what would have happened if we didn't drop the A-bombs on Japan & had to invade the home islands. I got the first issue, but haven't had a chance to read it yet.

If this idiot wants to get rid of nuclear arms perhaps he should focus his efforts more on the Islamic jihadi terror regimes such as oh-IRAN and the other Islamic nuke country known as PAKISTAN.

Not to worry, he'll be "refining" his position.

re: #181 Occasional Reader

Technically, that photo was taken a few? seconds after detonation. It takes a short period of time to form a mushroom cloud.

re: #146 Charles

Nice photo. I see they don't credit the picture, so it's safe to assume the photographer didn't make it?

re: #14 buzzsawmonkey

BTW: if you have not seen "Gabriel Over the White House," find it and watch it. Early-'30s film where the angel Gabriel possesses a comatose US president who then unilaterally disarms the US.

Wow, I had totally forgotten about that film! I indeed did see it, long long ago. Great movie!

You can see the shock wave outside the cloud. But you are correct, the image is probably a few seconds after detonation, the mushroom stem has not yet formed.

Oh, good. A humorous thread.

re: #168 karmic_inquisitor

That is quite a bit of material to have in the atmosphere before the shock wave rolls through.

If you look at this youtube of a blast, the frames at seconds 13 through 14 look somewhat similar to what is in the picture.

So I am no longer all that skeptical.

I do wonder why that photo hasn't been in widespread circulation - never seen it before.

re: #146 Charles

The exact moment of detonation at Nagasaki, from ground level.

Great picture. Thanks.

Interestingly, Nagasaki was not the primary target that day. Poor weather and low visibility at Yokohama diverted the bomber to the stand-by target of Nagasaki.

re: #152 maddogg

As nukes go, those two bombs were firecrackers.

They were good, healthy kiloton-range, about what you need if you can deliver things on target. Of course we build them much smaller now.

AFAIK, we've never even done the science on building seriously big boomers. What's the biggest ever done, something like 25megatons by the Soviets? Might be nice to have one or two seriously large bombs for extra special targets, if it ever comes to that. Come in handy if that asteroid ever heads this way, too. So let's build it, for the children.

Gabriel Over the White House

Newly elected president Judson Hammond is shown to be a lackey of his party, willing to follow the party line even if it's not in the best interest of the people. Showing off by driving his own car to a political meeting, he crashes at high speed. Comatose, he is not expected to recover. But on regaining consciousness, he is a changed man. Dismissing his cabinet and defying Congress, he assumes near-dictatorial powers in order to cut through red tape and institute sweeping measures to reduce unemployment. He even goes so far as to gently threaten nations owing the United States money from World War I to find a way to repay their debts by reducing their arms races. Having brokered this important safeguard for the world's peace, Hammond is stricken down, his work done.

What irritates me so much about that attitude (the girl's) is that those two bombs saved more Japanese lives than American. But I guess they're still pissed about our derailing their "rule the world" campaign.

Japanese manners and customs are different from ours. It would have been considered rude to stare at the mushroom cloud.

Look, if every American commits suicide at exactly the same moment, the Iranians will, like, freak out, because the object and source of all their anger will be gone. Then they will have no choice but to revert to peaceful subsistence farming.

Obamanation says we have to 'stop fighting the last war'. [Link: news.yahoo.com...]

I guess that means he wants to surrender in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Seems to me also, that the dems not only don't want to fight the last war, they've been against fighting any war, especially if a Repub is President. Also seems to me the only war they seem to think the US is fighting is the Vietnam War even though that war ended thirty five years ago. So the dems are fighting (against) the Vietnam War, while the Repubs and the rest of the country (excluding the dems are fighting the current wars).

Always another one.

A few other relevant Deep Thoughts:

Instead of trying to build newer and bigger weapons of destruction, we should be thinking about getting more use out of the ones we already have.

If you're in a war, instead of throwing a hand grenade at the enemy, throw one of those small pumpkins. Maybe it'll make everyone think how stupid war is, and while they are thinking, you can throw a real grenade at them.

How come the dove gets to be the peace symbol? How about the pillow? It has more feathers than the dove, and it doesn't have that dangerous beak.

Racer X,

I smell bullshit too. Two guys in the right corner of the pic are talking nonchalantly, facing each other instead of the blast. You'd think a massive explosion and mushroom cloud would've grabbed their attention.

Also, note the tire marks near that car in the photo. The car that made these two, equal-length tire marks had positraction. You can't make those marks without positraction, which was not available on the '34 Buick Skylark. The '34 Skylark had a regular differential, which, anyone who's been stuck in the mud in Nagasaki knows, you step on the gas, one tire spins, the other tire does nothing.

Also: When the left tire mark goes up on the curb and the right tire mark stays flat and even? Well, the '34 Skylark had a solid rear axle, so when the left tire would go up on the curb, the right tire would tilt out and ride along its edge. But that didn't happen here. The tire mark stayed flat and even. This car had an independent rear suspension. Now, in the '30's, there were only two other cars made in America that had positraction, and independent rear suspension, and enough power to make these marks. One was the Corvette, which could never be confused with the Buick Skylark. The other had the same body length, height, width, weight, wheel base, and wheel track as the '34 Skylark, and that was the 1933 Pontiac Tempest.

Those carriers were built because they didn't meet the definitions of the Washington Naval Treaties, which limited fleet size.

The Germans promptly broke the treaty, but the US adhered to them until it was nearly too late. However, US planners were already drawing up the Essex class carriers and the Iowa class battleships, along with every manner of ship imaginable.

Very true, but the first of the Essex class carriers and modern battleships (USS North Carolina ?) didn't arrive in the Pacific until we were almost 15 months into the war. We won't have the luxury of time - next time.
