While everyone's attention seems to be focused on the crisis in Egypt, a bombshell revelation about the administration's foreign policy in Europe has largely gone unnoticed.
The British newspaper The Telegraph has reported that part of the price which President Obama paid to get Russia to sign the START treaty, limiting nuclear arms, was revealing to the Russians the hitherto secret size of the British nuclear arsenal. This information came from the latest WikiLeaks documents.
To betray vital military secrets of this country's oldest, most steadfast and most powerful ally, behind the back of the British government, is something that should set off alarm bells. Following in the wake of earlier betrayals of prior American commitments to put a nuclear shield in Eastern Europe, and the undermining of Israel and calculated insults to its prime minister, this pattern raises serious, and perhaps almost unthinkable, questions about the Obama administration's foreign policy.
One of Barack Obama's first acts as President of the United States was to fly to Russia and try to get a deal with the Russian government by welshing on an existing American commitment to put a nuclear shield in Eastern Europe.
Obama's glib rhetoric about how he was pressing "the reset button" on American foreign policy treated the ongoing international commitments of the American government as something that each new administration is free to disregard.
Nations that ally themselves with the United States, and who cooperate in many ways to oppose the threat of international terrorism, do so at the risk of their own national safety and even survival. To make America's reciprocal commitments to them contingent on the whims of each new administration is to make other nations have to think twice about allying themselves with the U.S.

Clear and Present Danger
Sowell is a patriot.
We have an idiot in the White House, even if he is an America hating idiot.
Not an idiot at all, merely acting out the treason he absorbed from his Moma, his Daddy, Frank Davis, Alinskites among his circle of perverted, anti-American, mostly queer, friends.
Time to convict him of treason.
Obama, is actively pushing to have a relatively stable Middle East ally, Mubarak, replaced by the Muslim Brotherhood, a terrorist organization.
We all take note that CBS, NBC, NPR and ABC are all calling them - "the Brotherhood'- that makes it just dandy, huh?
REGIME CHANGE BEGINS AT HOME
Articles of impeachment are due and payable.
Why aren’t the republicans raising hell over this betrayal? This administration is either totally incompetent or they are traitors. It’s hard to believe an administration could be this stupid. How many governments will be willing to trust America while a back stabbing lowlife is president?
They will do anything and everything to make sure we just become just another country under the UN...
FUBO and yer muzzcomm buddys...
If he was simply an idiot, it could be escused. But Obastard is a traitor.
You bet, understand and agree.
Agree, he’s also a traitor.
Because they don't know how. They've been kowtowing to Democrats so long they don't know how to raise heck, much less hell. Boner talks a good fight but I don't see him throwing any punches, and somebody needs to start throwing some real haymakers after an outrage like this one.
Wonder if it was coordinated with the UK beforehand.
I tried to start a list in an earlier post, but didn't get a positive response. I'll try again:
Whereas Barack Obama has betrayed allies,
Whereas Barack Obama has divulged nuclear secrets of one ally to an enemy,
Whereas Barack Obama has enacted unconstitutional fines,
Whereas Barack Obama has given waivers from these fines to GM, BP, and others in return for political contributions,
Whereas Barack Obama has been found in contempt of court for continuing to enforce unconstitutional laws,
Whereas Barack Obama has undermined the financial system of the United States,
Whereas Barack Obama has unlawfully appointed various czars with powers not delineated in the constitution,
Whereas Barack Obama has imposed media black outs,
Whereas Barack Obama has misappropriated funds (billions in stimulus for ACORN),
Whereas Barack Obama has falsified information (EPA study),
Whereas Barack Obama has failed to sufficiently prove his legal citizenship,
Whereas Barack Obama has encouraged various leaders of countries well know for egregious human rights violations,
Whereas Barack Obama has many times failed to act in a timely manner in response to national crises,
please add to the list
Thanks for the ping jaz. Another good point from Dr. Sowell. Obama has certainly set back international relations, trust for many years to come. It’s going to take a real American Statesman to begin the process to clean up this mess, and those following will have to be of the highest of quality as well. I can’t see how this Nation could ever survive another Carter, or Obama.
continued: That is IF we survive this round with Obama.

>> Sowell: Glib talk about setting the reset button on American foreign policy raises the question whether any alliance with the United States can be relied on beyond the term of a particular administration.
The emphatic, European enthusiasm for candidate Obama equally speaks to the political ignorance of our allies. Unfortunately, the intoxication proved worse than a mere hangover. I respect our allies and regret the consequences of policy antithetical to traditional Americanism.
