Sources tell ABC News that later today President Obama is expected to talk to Russian President Dmitri Medvedev and after that the US and Russia will announce an agreement has been reached on a new nuclear arms treaty, replacing the START treaty that expired on December 5.

The treaty will reduce nuclear missiles and delivery systems by roughly one quarter.

Unilateral, naturally.

Why am I not happy?

From "45 Communist Goals":
Congressional Record--Appendix, pp. A34-A35
January 10, 1963:

1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.

2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.

3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.

There is just nothing good that will come out of this, with this a-hole in the WH.

This can have no good outcome. Malicious children should not be allowed to play with dangerous toys.

From David Horowitz's FrontPageMag.com/DiscoverTheNetworks.org:
Profile: Institute For Policy Studies (IPS)

IPS’s [Institute For Policy Studies] Washington, DC headquarters quickly became a resource center for national reporters and a place for KGB agents from the nearby Soviet embassy to convene and strategize. Cora Weiss headed one of the IPS's most successful forays -- into Riverside Church in Manhattan. She was invited there in 1978 by the Reverend William Sloane Coffin to run the church's Disarmament Program, which sought to consolidate Soviet nuclear superiority in Europe -- in the name of "peace." In 1982 Weiss helped organize the largest pro-disarmament demonstration ever held. Staged in New York City, the rally was attended by a coalition of communist organizations. During her decade-long tenure at Riverside, which became home to the National Council of Churches, Weiss regularly received Russian KGB agents, Sandinista friends, and Cuban intelligence agents. Weiss became infamous for her role in the psychological warfare conducted against U.S. prisoners of war held in the infamous "Hanoi Hilton" during the Vietnam War.

The Liberation News Service, which is a news source for hundreds of "alternative" publications nationwide (with antiwar, Marxist-oriented perspectives), was founded in 1967 with IPS assistance."

Obama and the case of the missing 'thesis'
By Jim Popkin, NBC News Senior Investigative Producer
July 24, 2008

excerpt:

The hunt for Obama’s senior “thesis” began with a throwaway line in a newspaper article last October. The New York Times story, on Obama’s early New York years, mentioned in passing that the presidential contender had majored in political science at Columbia and had spent his time “writing his thesis on Soviet nuclear disarmament.”

Journalists began hounding Columbia University for copies of the musty document. Conservative bloggers began wondering if the young Obama had written a no-nukes screed that he might come to regret. And David Bossie, the former congressional investigator and “right-wing hit man,” as one newspaper described him, took out classified newspaper ads in Columbia University’s newspaper and the Chicago Tribune in March searching for the term paper.

Bossie came up dry, but said the effort was well worth it:

“A thesis entitled Soviet Nuclear Disarmament, written at the height of The Cold War in 1983, might shed some light upon what Barack Obama thought about our most pressing foreign policy issue for 40-plus years (U.S.-Soviet Relations),” he wrote in an e-mail to NBC News.

[GUNGAGALUNGA]

We will reduce our military to pay for health care “reform”. France anyone?

[R0CK3T]

So Putin’s reward for invading Georgia is to complete an “agreement” that reduces our armed forces?

Uhhh, yeah I get it / sarcasm???

Can anyone imagine what they would have obtained from the appeaser in chief if Russia also invaded the Ukraine?

[NoRedTape]

"Why am I not happy?"

.....ah, because you lack any shred of trust in this rookie socialist Prez?

Same here.

[Battle Hymn of the Republic]

[NoRedTape]

From Obama's speech in Cairo:

"No single nation should pick and choose which nations hold nuclear weapons. That is why I strongly reaffirmed America’s commitment to seek a world in which no nations hold nuclear weapons."

Well, if we can’t manage one with Iran, I guess this is SOMETHING the dear lad can point to as a success (however marginal and ill advised).

[Blood of Tyrants]

Thanks God any treaty requires 2/3 of the Senate to ratify it.
