Flashback: Senator Obama pushed bill that helped destroy more than 15,000 TONS of ammunition, 400,000 small arms and 1,000 anti-aircraft missiles in Ukraine

Obama traveled to Ukraine with Sen. Dick Lugar in 2005 just seven months after he became a senator, touring surplus weapons stockpiles
Most of the small arms and ammunition were left over when Soviets withdrew from Eastern bloc nations, and later dumped in Ukraine
The two senators secured U.S. funding to help destroy the weapons instead of leaving them intact
Ukraine exported more than 700,000 small arms in 2004-2007, including 101,000 each to Libya and the UK, and 260,000 to the U.S.
But most of the ammunition stockpiles – crucial for keeping a standing army battle-ready – were destroyed
Ukraine is in a staring match with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has designs on recapturing portions of the former Soviet nation

I worked on the bomb burner project at Parsons International. The munitions were old and undependable and unsafe. I also live 30 miles from the Umatilla army depot where all the old nerve gas has been stored in bunkers for years. The nerve gas burner has been going for several years now. Some of the bomb burners for Bluegrass project was defunded during the Bush years.

Let me get this straight. This woman isn't even on staff anymore, largely due to her deadly negligence in foreign affairs, and yet decides to open her mouth with these incendiary comments regarding an already tenuous situation.
