Midknight Review -- new and revised: Let's wait on the START Treatise until we get someone in the White House who understands foreign policy.

Anyone notice that Obama never meets with Putin ?? So who is the tough guy in that "relationship?" Pictured left is Obama and the Russian President (his name is not important).

Senate Leader Deals Blow to President on Arms Treaty — The Senate should not vote on a new arms control treaty with Russia during the lame-duck session that opened this week, a Senate Republican leader said on Tuesday in what could be a devastating blow to President Obama's most tangible foreign policy achievement. . . .

Editor's notes: in fact, this may be the ONLY tangible foreign policy "achievement" of Obama's failed administration.

Its primary function is to limit the U.S. to 1,550 warheads. Warheads on deployed ICBMs and deployed SLBMs count toward this limit and each deployed heavy bomber equipped for nuclear armaments counts as one warhead toward this limit.These "launchers" are cut to 800 units.

This reduction is radical by comparison to the START Treaty of 1991 (74% lower !!) and 30 % lower than the total number of strategic warheads dictated by the 2002 Moscow Treaty.

Understand that this treatise is worthless because it does not include China, India or any other world nuclear power.

That is the first of two serious problems. The second being the need to trust the Russians. Certainly, there is a confirmation system included in the treatise, but how many times has such confirmation tracks been defeated by our enemies.

Because of the work Clinton and Bush 43 did in this regard, this particular treatise is both unnecessary and ill advised.

Our suggestion is to wait until the White House has an occupant who understands foreign policy and the nature of our enemies. Obama believes in the essential goodness of our "so-called enemies." In this, he is foolish and a danger to this country.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
