Review of Obama's Missile Defence Statement

The White House: Full Text.

Here are some of the most interesting comments by the President Today. ( My comments in red, reading the Presidents mind. )...

As Commander-in-Chief, I'm committed to doing everything in my power to advance our national security. And that includes strengthening our defenses against any and all threats to our people, our troops, and our friends and allies around the world. ( Wants to give the impression that he is a strong President, in other words political spin ) .....One of those threats is the danger posed by ballistic missiles. As I said during the campaign, President Bush was right that Iran's ballistic missile program poses a significant threat. ( That must have made him choke to say something nice about Bush 43 ) And that's why I'm committed to deploying strong missile defense systems which are adaptable to the threats of the 21st century. ( I cant really do what I want to do, that is ban this stuff, what if Iran is really a threat )....This new approach will provide capabilities sooner, build on proven systems, and offer greater defenses against the threat of missile attack than the 2007 European missile defense program. ( This shows I will defend the USA and Europe, I AM NOT JIMMY CARTER OR NEVILLE CHAMBERLAIN )...First, we have updated our intelligence assessment of Iran's missile programs, which emphasizes the threat posed by Iran's short- and medium-range missiles, which are capable of reaching Europe. ( I am not conning you, trust me, this is not like me telling you that my economic package will work ) There's no substitute for Iran complying with its international obligations regarding its nuclear program, and we, along with our allies and partners, will continue to pursue strong diplomacy to ensure that Iran lives up to these international obligations. ( I am the ONE, why wont Iran talk to me, I have always gotten my way ) But this new ballistic missile defense program will best address the threat posed by Iran's ongoing ballistic missile defense program. ( It better or Israel will sink by Presidency without looking back )... We will continue to work cooperatively with our close friends and allies, the Czech Republic and Poland, who had agreed to host elements of the previous program. I've spoken to the Prime Ministers of both the Czech Republic and Poland about this decision and reaffirmed our deep and close ties. ( Why didn't I check my calender ) Together we are committed to a broad range of cooperative efforts to strengthen our collective defense, and we are bound by the solemn commitment of NATO's Article V that an attack on one is an attack on all. ( There Russian Bear, NATO will make up for me being Jimmy Carter. )...We've also repeatedly made clear to Russia that its concerns about our previous missile defense programs were entirely unfounded. ( I will surrender, I am to arrogant to be wrong, I am no Ronald Reagan, he was old and fought for Star Wars and bought down the USSR, but why ? ) Our clear and consistent focus has been the threat posed by Iran's ballistic missile program, and that continues to be our focus and the basis of the program that we're announcing today. ( Keep on message, the elite media will cover for me )...In confronting that threat, we welcome Russians' cooperation to bring its missile defense capabilities into a broader defense of our common strategic interests, even as we continue to -- we continue our shared efforts to end Iran's illicit nuclear program. ( I have given you what you want Russia, don't vote against sanctions against Iran )..I'm confident that with the steps we've taken today, we have strengthened America's national security and enhanced our capacity to confront 21st century threats. ( The Liberal base will be happy but if I fail, me fail, my own PR cant be wrong, Israel will attack and I can join the speech circuit with Jimmy Carter, I can be his warm up act, )
