Disarmingly Crazy

Charlie Sykes is having problems with these views expressed by Barack Obama:

...I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems...
...I will not weaponize space...
...I will slow development of future combat systems...
...and I will institute a "Defense Priorities Board" to ensure the quadrennial defense review is not used to justify unnecessary spending...
...I will set a goal of a world without nuclear weapons...
...and to seek that goal, I will not develop nuclear weapons...
...I will seek a global ban on the development of fissile material...
...and I will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBMs off hair-trigger alert...
...and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenals...


Help me out here.

So it is OK to dump money into unproven missile defense systems, something that has only been rattling around our defense budget since Reagan -- oh, about 20 years ago?

So it is OK to live in constant fear and not seek some means to alleviate the problem?

So it is OK for the Defense Department to have unnecessary expenditures?

So this is one of our local opinion leaders?

So God help us.
