RUSH: There are some things happening today that are downright scary. The regime, led by Barack Hussein Obama, is weighing options for reducing our US nuclear force, including a reduction of up to 80% in the number of deployed warheads — 80%. Folks, this is staggering. Meanwhile, the Iranians are nuking up. Iran announced today that they\u2019re gonna cut off oil to six countries that have opposed its nuclear program, and more importantly, Iran also announced that they have installed domestically made nuclear fuel rods in their Tehran reactor. <\/p>\n
So much is flashing back to me. You go back to the eighties and the seventies, the nuclear freeze movement, the peaceniks wanted to get rid of nukes, and there was an arms race going on. We were increasing our stockpile, as were the Russians. The numbers mattered only in terms of deterrent. We had to keep up, and we had to stay ahead. You build, for example, the B-2 bomber, hoping never to have to use it. The left has never understood this about military matters and defense. They never understood this about nukes. You build them so that you don\u2019t have to use them. That\u2019s the point. You don\u2019t build them because you want to. You don\u2019t build them because you can\u2019t wait to use them. You don\u2019t build them because you\u2019re warmongers. You build them so that you don\u2019t have to. It\u2019s what\u2019s behind practically every major weapon invention and manufacture. <\/p>\n
The B-2 stealth bomber, you hope you never have to use it. Now, we have had to, obviously. But the hope is that the brute force and the ability to project power is enough to deter anybody from taking us on. It\u2019s a great strategy, it is how this stuff works, and now Barack Obama is reducing our stockpile unilaterally by 80%, back to 300 warheads. Now, you might say, “Well, that\u2019s good, Rush, it\u2019s making the world safer.” It is not making the world safer. If the Russians still have 15,000 or 2,000, whatever the number is, folks, there\u2019s a balance of power here that has shifted away from us, and this — I am here to tell you — is by design. <\/p>\n
The Associated Press is reporting that Obama could cut our nuclear weapons arsenal by 80%. That is just staggering. This would amount to unilateral disarmament. Three hundred nuclear weapons would take us back to levels not seen since 1950. If we cut our nuclear weapons down to 300, Russia will have five times, 1,550 nuclear warheads. If we reduce to 300, we will have fewer nuclear warheads than the ChiComs. The only thing you could say in response to this, “Well, Rush, we don\u2019t have anything to fear from the Russians or the Chinese or anybody in the Middle East.” No, of course we don\u2019t. The last time we had 300 warheads was in the fifties and that\u2019s when we were making them as fast as our technology and materials would permit us to make \u2019em. We weren\u2019t stopping at 300. We kept going.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Now reducing nuclear weapons to 300 warheads. <\/p>\n
We dug up, ladies and gentlemen… Let me see where it is here. Yes, here it is: Obama\u2019s 1983 nuclear freeze article. The New York Times had a story on July 4th, 2009. “Obama\u2019s Youth Shaped His Nuclear-Free Vision.” When you read this, it becomes painfully clear that Obama\u2019s thinking has not advanced one inch in the last 29 years. He is now implementing the pacifist, anti-nuke ideas that the anti-nuke, “pro-peace” movement had way back in the 1980s, back during the days of Ronaldus Magnus. “Obama\u2019s Youth Shaped His Nuclear-Free Vision — In the depths of the Cold War, in 1983, a senior at Columbia University wrote in a campus newsmagazine, Sundial, about the vision of ‘a nuclear free world.\u2019 He railed against discussions of ‘first- versus second-strike capabilities\u2019 that ‘suit the military-industrial interests\u2019 with their ‘billion-dollar erector sets,\u2019 and agitated for the elimination of global arsenals holding tens of thousands of deadly warheads.”<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t tell me, “We\u2019ve got a nice guy,” Mr. Romney, “who\u2019s in over his head.”<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t tell me, Mr. Romney, as Mr. Romney\u2019s been saying, “He\u2019s a good man. He\u2019s just out of his league.”<\/p>\n
By far and away he\u2019s not out of his league. The people “out of their league” are in the Republican Party trying to deal with this, getting skunked at every turn.<\/p>\n
