An Obama Nation is a much disarmed America

Scott over at Powerline writes what ought to be plastered on every blog site until someone in the media picks up this line of questioning. We are indeed only three weeks away from the presidential election and so far as any of us are aware - and almost all center-right bloggers follow this issue closely, Barack Obama has not been asked a single question about the disarmament credo he sets forth in the video below:

I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems... (edit - they've already been proven) ...I will not weaponize space... (edit - Chinese already well on the way to doing so and Iran promises to do the same) ...I will slow development of future combat systems... (edit - U.S. would be the only country to do so) ...and I will institute an independent "Defense Priorities Board" to ensure the quadrennial defense review is not used to justify unnecessary spending... (edit - we don't have to use much imagination to know where this will lead) ...I will set a goal of a world without nuclear weapons... (edit - pigs will fly sooner than Russia, Iran, N. Korea, China, etc... do so) ...and to seek that goal, I will not develop nuclear weapons... (edit - see above - we'd be alone on that one too) ...I will seek a global ban on the production of fissile material... (edit - we've done such a good job with N. Korea and Iran, right?) ...and I will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBMs off hair-trigger alert... ...and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenals... (edit - see all of the above)

Isn't it time for someone who covers politics for a living to ask Obama a few serious questions about the promises he makes in this video? And shouldn't John Mccain have made note of it by now? Watch this video and see for yourself, even if you've seen it before. By the way, the video initially put up at Powerline has already been pulled. Here's another version that's still up:
