Rush keeps alluding to absolutely devastating inside information on what happened to the harpy that Douglas spilled to him!

Huh? Care to try that again? What are you telling us?

[lentulusgracchus]

I mean, where were all these conservatives complaining when W reduced our nuclear arsenal back in 2002?

Right here, chief. Whut up?

When on Earth was this picture taken? It really doesn’t look like CZJ.

Good catch ... I went back looking for the pic on google and didn't find it until I did a search for CZJ rather than Catherine Zeta Jones ... turns out I grabbed a look alike by the name of Lesley Wright.

I don’t know the details of this and any arms reduction treaty during W’s administration. You might be right, but I agree with Bolton that it has become foolish to have arms reduction treaties with Russia only when China is building up every aspect of their military, including their nuclear capabilities.

And I also expect, like many of his big policy initiatives, that Obama is more interested is being able to say he accomplished something than he is in US security and whether a give treaty is beneficial to the US.

If there is a new arms treaty, then Regan didn’t win the cold war......Obama did.

No Gipper achievement can be allowed to stand.

[TheThinker]

As if anything Obama can do will prevent such an occurrence if Putin wants it to happen.

So Dowd wants us to think that Obama's Nobel is on layaway for his prevention of nuclear proliferation among the 'Stans which really is something however that is something that only the Russians can control anyway.

This is just slight of hand.

So Obama's Nobel Peace Prize was a preemptive payoff for the signing of this new START treaty which only seeks to disarm America's nuclear arsenal, thereby further weakening America's defenses and leverage in the world.

Obama’s solution to getting his treaty pass is to call over to the White House a bunch of people who have nothing to do with voting for the thing. Maureen Dowd is not the only one who is clueless and expects to be taken seriously.
