WTH? Is Chewy in mourning or what?

The signing ceremony in Moscow was a grand affair. For Barack Obama, foreign policy neophyte and "reset" man, the arms reduction agreement had a Kissingerian air. A fine feather in his cap. And our president likes his plumage.
Unfortunately for the United States, the country Obama represents, the prospective treaty is useless at best, detrimental at worst.
Useless because the level of offensive nuclear weaponry, the subject of the U.S.-Russia "Joint Understanding," is an irrelevance. We could today terminate all such negotiations, invite the Russians to build as many warheads as they want, and profitably watch them spend themselves into penury, as did their Soviet predecessors, stockpiling weapons that do nothing more than, as Churchill put it, make the rubble bounce.
Obama says that his START will be a great boon, setting an example to enable us to better pressure North Korea and Iran to give up their nuclear programs. That a man of Obama's intelligence can believe such nonsense is beyond comprehension. There is not a shred of evidence that cuts by the great powers -- the INF treaty, START I, the Treaty of Moscow (2002) -- induced the curtailment of anyone's programs. Moammar Gaddafi gave up his nukes the week we pulled Saddam Hussein out of his spider hole. No treaty involved. The very notion that Kim Jong Il or Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will suddenly abjure nukes because of yet another U.S.-Russian treaty is comical.

Not to worry — there will be change and hope. Yes, we can.
Build SDI and let Russia dominate as many nations as they want around them, excepting in Europe.
Krauthammer may be the smartest Pundit in the journalism arena.

Kraut sounds great now, and was a great voice of reason during the primaries, but during the general he was up Obama’s butt due strictly to O’s ivy league pedigree and speaking skills. He somehow was blinded for a short time. Good to see he is back on his game.

Charles is the greatest.
All I can say is, Obama better not think about negotiating away missile defense. It’s not his to eliminate, it is ours. He is commander in chief, which means he is in charge of our armed forces in event of war, but he is not authorized to destroy the infrastructure bought for from the taxes paid by American citizens and appropriated by Congress.
Not a shred of evidence and never will be - it's liberal magical thinking... at it's worst.
No, just demonstrating her support of Muslims around the world while standing with the Pope (a visual indication of her anti-catholic/Christian position).
She looks like a gigantic goblin.
Obama is doing for Eastern Europe what Kennedy did for Cuba in 1961, capitulate in the face of aggression.
In 1961 nobody cared because Cuba was just a little island full of rum drinkin' booty-shakin monkeys...right?
Who the f**k cares about...Poland, Czech Republic? Georgia? Estonia? These places might as well be on the moon.
That's the world view of the leftist liberal Democrats.
Yikes! At least the boob belt matches the mantilla. /sarc.
All these years and I never realized that Charles was in a wheel chair and the story behind the man. He’s brilliant and honest.
Women’s heads are supposed to be covered in that room, but she looks like she’s ready to take vows. A mantilla would have served the purpose and a little color wouldn’t be amiss.
