Inhofe Says Obama Missile Defense Decision Leaves U.S. "Naked" to Possible Attack from Iran - Video

Here is video of GOP Sen. James Inhofe today saying the decision by President Obama to scrap a missile defense system in Poland and the Czech Republic has "pulled the rug" out from under some of our staunchest allies, and argues it leaves the United States "naked" and vulnerable to long-range missile attack from Iran for five years, from 2013-2018. Inhofe said "Iran and Russia are celebrating" Obama's decision.

Obama decided to scrap a promised missile shield system already agreed to by the Bush Administration to be placed in Eastern Europe to guard against Iran and to signal determination to protect former Soviet dominated areas of Eastern Europe from future Russian aggression. Obama's decision sends the wrong signals to everyone.

That fact is borne out by reaction from Russia's Prime Minister (essentially a Dictator) Vladimir Putin, who is already pushing for further U.S. concessions on the heels of Obama's decision. Rather than making Russia more cooperative, Obama has only emboldened Russia by showing weakness:

“I expect that after this correct and brave decision, others will follow,” Mr Putin said in a speech in the Black Sea resort of Sochi.

The measures should include “the complete removal of all restrictions on the transfer of high technology to Russia, and activity to widen the membership of the World Trade Organisation to Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus”, he said.

Mr Putin’s comments provide ammunition for critics who say that rather than earning Russia’s goodwill, the US climbdown may have emboldened Moscow’s hawks . . . .MORE

Carter is happy. He’s no longer the worst US President of the modern era.

OBAMA IS A MARXIST IDEOLOGUE & ENEMY TO THIS NATION

The Honorable Inhofe is quite correct, someone is going to get all of us killed. He has knowingly made these decisions with the best advisers and his acuity. There is no alternate system. He just wants to leave America vulnerable. Its all part of his relentless agenda to destroy America. Every piece counts!

Treasonous S o B, IMO

The way Imhoff described it, we would be defenseless against a long range missile attack from Iran to a major extent if the missile sites in Poland and the Czech Republic were not used as intended. His commentary on the Savage Nation was quite informational and left much question as to this administration’s lack of experience in foreign affairs.
