It is well known and publicly accepted among conservative, that Barack Obama’s words are but mere lies. On the one’s groveling tour of Europe, Obama yearned for and promised to strive for a world as free of nuclear weapons as Obama’s brain is free of intellectual thought. The man who promised a post partisan administration achieved in uniting, the Wall Street Journal, William Kristol, Anne Applebaum and more.

“Rarely has a Presidential speech been so immediately and transparently divorced from reality as Mr. Obama’s in Prague. The President delivered a stirring call to banish nuclear weapons at the very moment that North Korea and Iran are bidding to trigger the greatest proliferation breakout in the nuclear age?
William Kristol, Washington Post [3] :
In Prague on Sunday, President Obama committed his administration to putting us on a “trajectory” toward “a world without nuclear weapons.”
Of course, we had a world without nuclear weapons not so long ago — say, in 1939.
Anne Applebaum, Slate [4]
Forgive me for joining the chorus of cynics, but there is no evidence that U.S. nuclear arms reductions have ever inspired others to do the same. All the world’s more recent nuclear powers-Israel, India, Pakistan-acquired their weapons well after such talks began more than 40 years ago.
As for the North Koreans, they chose the very day of the Prague speech to launch (unsuccessfully) an experimental missile. In its wake, neither China nor Russia wanted to condemn the launch, since to do so might set a precedent uncomfortable for them. “Every state has the right to the peaceful use of outer space,” said a Russian U.N. envoy. His government does want arms-reduction talks, it is true, but only because the Russian nuclear arsenal is rapidly deteriorating. By agreeing to start them, we’ve unnecessarily handed over a bargaining chip.
And last and most interesting, via Skanderbeg, Red State [5], Moscow Times [6]:
Because Russia’s conventional forces are so weak, the Kremlin relies heavily on its nuclear arms for national security. The country’s nuclear arsenal is the only military component that gives it weight in dealing with the United States and China. This is precisely why Russia’s military strategists see Obama’s call for a decrease in nuclear weapons as another attempt to decrease Moscow’s influence. They fear that once Russia’s nuclear arsenal becomes equal to that of China, Britain and France, Moscow will end up on the sidelines of global affairs.
Note that the chief population group which would benefit from Barack Hussein Obama’s plan to disarm would be Muslims. Of course, as Obama is a moron, empowering Muslims may not necesarily be Obama’s intent.
