Unwilling to Defend
Peter Huessy, President of GeoStrategic Analysis, has a damning piece in Human Events on Joe Biden’s reprehensible record on national defense.
In order for you to get the full picture, I’d either need to copy the entire text of Huessy’s piece here, or just ask you to go read his whole article–so I’ll opt for the latter.
But to give you an idea:
- Supported the nuclear freeze
- Opposed the Trident submarine
- Opposed the Peacekeeper missile
- Opposed deployment of the Pershing and GLCMs (which I worked around overseas) that brought the Soviets to the table in the late 1980s
- Opposed the B-2 stealth bomber
- Led the fight to strip military assistance from our aid to El Salvador in the fight against the terrorist Marxist FMLN
- Supported the communist government of Daniel Ortega in Nicaragua
- Opposed ballistic missile defense
It would be hard to find an agent of a foreign power who has worked harder to undermine a strong U.S. defense than has Joe Biden.
But then, as pathetic as it is, Biden fits very well with Barack Obama who has promised, on camera, to gut our national defense.
Obama says he will:
- cut tens of billions of dollars in “wasteful spending” (where are those tens of billions of dollars in “wasteful spending”?
- cut investments in “unproven” missile defense systems (like the one that has proven itself effective already, to protect us from nuclear attack?)
- not weaponize space (leaving communist China, Russia and other countries to do so at will)
- slow our development of future combat systems (allowing our many enemies around the world to catch up and surpass us
- set a goal of a world without nuclear weapons (implying the U.S.–which is the only country the president has authority over–wouldn’t have them, while North Korea, Syria, Iran and other countries aggressively pursue them)
- seeking this goal, will not develop new nuclear weapons, will seek a ban on the production of fissionable materials, and will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBMs off hair-trigger alert (the same Russia that helped Iraq against us in 2003, the same Russia that has begun buzzing our airspace as they did during the Cold War)
- achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenal
Go ahead. See for yourself:
