"...NO American president would knowingly compromise the defense of our nation despite angering other countries."

Are you willing to bet all our lives on that? I would refer you to the Klintoons relationship with China and the transfer of technology to them. And the Leftist Kerry has tried repeatedly to geld our military/weapons.

I guess I didn't make myself clear. I meant a DIRECT attack. Of course, by making us less powerful, they are leaving us open to attacks.

But they would be run out of town pretty quick if they did not defend a blatant direct attack on American soil like 9/11
