Now Putin and Chavez Try to End Biden's Career and Obama's Missile Defense Dissembling

Now this is just getting ridiculous, Joe Biden and the entire leadership of the Democratic Party have stood together against missile defense for nearly thirty years. Flying Debris has commented on this party nonsense here and here. Now after repeatedly speaking out against missile defense systems that would protect free people from rogue regimes and blackmailers, and even producing an ad that stated as much, well Barack Obama has allegedly seen the light. Call me sceptical. There is no explanation of this dramatic switch, just a switch that appears to be a politically expedient statement during a nationally televised debate. The Obama campaign could at least point to the news that Russia may be nearing a nuclear agreement with Venezuela. That's right, South America's Venezuela, the one with the crazy dictator Hugo Chavez. Nice. As I watched a replay of the debate today I noticed how Obama made numerous statements that were opposed to statements that he had made during this nearly two year campaign. Here is a You Tube mashup that highlights Obama's missile defense statements:

North Korea Still Trying to End Joe Biden's Career

The Washington Post is reporting that North Korea is testing engines for long-range missiles capable of reaching the major cities on the West Coast. Not exactly California Dreaming. America's defense from missiles launched by a rogue regime consist of a preemptive strike or shooting the missiles down using a missile defense system. Joe Biden has spent decades with his Democratic brethren fighting against any missile defense system. Biden's running mate Barack Obama has also come out against missile defense systems, calling them "unproven defense systems." Well Senators, how are they going to become "proven defense systems" without any funding? And why are they not willing to protect America from known threats?
