Obama: Let's Give Up American Nukes

In response to weekend news of expansions and successes in both Iran’s and North Korea’s nuclear weapons programs, President Obama pledged to disarm the United States.

This weekend, Iran successfully tested its first nuclear power plant. Meanwhile, North Korea launched a missile over Japan, supposedly to place a satellite.

Now, you may have heard back in January of 2007 that Iran was handed North Korea’s nuclear testing data.

January 25, 2007: North Korea is helping Iran to prepare an underground nuclear test similar to the one Pyongyang carried out last year.

Under the terms of a new understanding between the two countries, the North Koreans have agreed to share all the data and information they received from their successful test last October with Teheran’s nuclear scientists.

Did they have a successful test?

Some think they did, in October of 2008. You won’t find this article in most of the American mainstream media.

(IsraelNN.com) A weekend 5.0 Richter earthquake in Iran was actually a nuclear bomb test, says an Iranian nuclear scientist claiming to be working on the project.

This past Saturday night, southern Iran experienced what was reported as a significant earthquake – a seismic event measuring 5.0 on the Richter scale. Its epicenter was just north of the strategic Straits of Hormuz, which separates Iran from Abu Dhabi and Oman and which is the gateway to the Persian Gulf.

Did it happen? Or was it an earthquake? We may never know.

We do know that Iran is supportive of North Korea’s missile launch, and sees America’s cowardly lack of any reaction whatsoever as bolstering their own “right” to develop nuclear missiles:

Diplomats at the United Nations failed to censure North Korea for conducting a missile test in defiance of UN resolutions overnight after Russia and China objected to a draft resolution.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry said that North Korea’s satellite launch demonstrated the right of all nations to develop missile technology. “We have always maintained that space can be used for peaceful purposes by adhering to international laws,” said a foreign ministry spokesman. “As it is our right to do so, we maintain that others also have that right.”

…

Experts say that Iran and North Korea have shared missile technology in the past. Iran’s successful launch of a satellite last February used a variant of the North’s ‘Nodong’ missile, according to the specialist Jane’s Intelligence Review, although Tehran denies this.

As diplomats struggled to reach consensus, The US and its allies have claimed that the North Korean test was a cover for testing ballistic missile technology in breach of a 2006 UN resolution forbidding Pyongyang from conducting such tests.

How did Obama react?

By practically begging the world to nuke us!

Declaring the future of mankind at stake, President Obama on Sunday said all nations must strive to rid the world of nuclear arms and that the U.S. had a “moral responsibility” to lead because no other country has used one . . . yet.

A North Korean rocket launch upstaged Obama’s idealistic call to action, delivered in the capital of the Czech Republic, a former satellite of the Soviet Union. But Obama dismissed those who say the spread of nuclear weapons, “the most dangerous legacy of the Cold War,” cannot be checked.

…

Few experts think it’s possible to completely eradicate nuclear weapons, and many say it wouldn’t be a good idea even if it could be done. Even backward nations such as North Korea have shown they can develop bombs, given enough time.
