Obama's attempt to destroy SDI

March 23, 1983, Ronald Reagan envisioned America with the ability to protect our people and cities with a missile defense shield and was castigated by the left. George W. Bush amped up that vision with funding ($100 billion since '84) and was castigated by the left. SDI has come a long way since the days of Reagan and the testing of the system is getting better as we advance. Candidate Obama stated he would support such a system if it was a "proven" technology. SDI has demonstrated it's worth through many successful tests. Have there been some failures? Yes, as is the case with all new technology.

The left has never been in favor of the United States being truly superior to our adversaries. Last week, President Obama attempted to trade our future missile defense batteries in Europe in the hope that the Russians would help us with Iran. What the hell is he thinking? Why would Russia help us with Iran. Yes, the Russians loath the idea of us having a missile defense shield on their border and in countries of their sphere of influence. Russian imports with Iran are in the hundreds of billions of dollars which would be lost in the event of an agreement with the U.S. This system will have no affect on Russian deterrence as they could easily overcome the "10" interceptors that would be stationed there.

Mr. Obama has shown his willingness to scrap our defense in favor of some good will from the world community. SDI has come a long way since 1983 and we cannot let it go to waste with President Obama's leftist world views. President Reagan refused to negotiate SDI during the Reykjavik summit with Gorbachev but Obama is willing to just give it away. I sure miss Ronald Reagan.

Winning the war on terror

Between January 1st and July 28th. more than 2700 Taliban, Al-Qaeda and other Islamo-Fascist terrorists have been sent to Allah and the 72 virgins. Since the war on terror began in Afghanistan, over 24,000 terrorists have been eliminated in that theater of battle.

Since the start of Operation Iraqi Freedom, at least 22,000+ Al-Qaeda, Islamo-Fascist and insurgents have been regulated to martyrdom. It is estimated that 30,000 Iraqi military personnel were killed in the initial invasion to topple Saddam Hussein.

With the success of the surge violence continues to decline in Iraq, down 85% from last year and Al-Qaeda is on the run. The United States just removed 550 metric tons of "yellowcake" — the seed material for higher-grade nuclear enrichment — from Saddam's failed nuclear weapons program.

I realize that most Americans have not seen the number of terrorist deaths inflicted by our armed forces. The liberal media would like you to think that only American soldiers and innocent civilians are getting killed. They also would like you to think that President Bush and our military are failures and torturers.

Americans should take comfort in the knowledge that America "is" winning the war on terror. Democrats in general and liberals in particular have fought Pesident Bush in his waging of war and delayed our victory in the process. If Obama is elected as the 44th President of the United States, I feel the tide will turn back towards the Islamo-fascists.

UPDATE-Afghanistan: As of 8-22-2008-There are now 3500 Islamo-fascist terrorists that have been sent to Allah this year alone. Nice work of our coalition forces wouldn't you say?
